NIT

Your All India Rank (AIR) is roughly 71,000 if you are an OBC with a JEE Main percentile of 91.7 National Institutes of Technology (NIT) admission is competitive and although it may be difficult to get into a top NIT with this rank you might have a chance at a less prestigious or newer NIT, particularly in branches with more seats available.

For example, in the past, several NITs have accepted OBC candidates with rankings higher than 70,000 in particular engineering specialties. These cutoffs, however change every year depending on variables like the volume of applications, available seats and the general difficulty of the test.

Having AIR of 604,826 and SC category rank of 45,093 in JEE Mains, Computer Science Engineering (CSE) or any specialisation in NIT, IIIT, or GFTI seat cannot be attained. Cut-offs for CSE in top NITs and IIITs are usually well below this rank, and it is highly competitive. But you may have chances in some lower or newer IIITs, NITs or GFTIs in other streams of engineering. You should have choices to consider other courses or state-level engineering colleges, private institutes, or alternate options like management quota seats to have better probability. Keep looking at the JoSAA counseling rounds for any update.

With 1,96,878 rank in JEE, its very difficult to get seat in top NITs or IIITs. But in some Government Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs) with low cutoff ranks, you can try. Students can also choose to apply to GFTIs through JoSAA counseling or get into private colleges that offer better chances of admission. Continue exploring colleges and focus your attention where your rank fits.

With 96.12 percentile in JEE Mains and 71.4% in CBSE board exams of 12th, you can be considered for admission in NITs and IIITs, but each institute's eligibility may differ. Most NITs and IIITs require a minimum aggregate of 75% in 12th or to be among the top 20 percentile in your board exam for general category students. But some IIITs and NITs relax the criteria for specific categories. You should make sure to verify the respective eligibility and cutoff information of the institutions you are applying to, particularly in terms of your category.

By institute, branch and candidate category the 2023 NIT admissions opening and closing ranks differ significantly. While other branches and institutes witnessed wider ranges top fields like the Computer Science at prestigious NITs (like NIT Trichy) frequently had general category opening ranks in the low hundreds with closing ranks reaching into the high 200s. For accurate branch-specific statistics, it is better to refer to the JoSAA 2023 counseling data or the official NIT websites as like these numbers vary annually.

With a rank of 3500 in the M.Tech integrated course, the possibility of admission at VIT Vellore could be contingent upon the course and the seat availability. VIT Vellore has its own entrance examination (VITEEE) for admission, and the cutoff rank is different every year depending upon the number of candidates and the seats available. A cutoff of 3500 can be competitive for certain branches, but more sought-after or competitive programs such as Computer Science or Electronics could have a higher cutoff. It's better to refer to the official VIT admission website for precise cutoff details and counseling updates.

Hello,

For top NITs like Trichy, Warangal, Surathkal, Calicut, and Rourkela, the JEE Main cutoff trends are quite competitive, especially for popular branches like CSE and ECE.

Hello,

You do stand a chance of getting into an NIT with a 74.5 percentile in JEE Mains as a General-PwD candidate. However, you might find it slightly difficult to get CSE because it's a very competitive stream. All is not lost, though! You may still get CSE in the more recent NITs or during the later rounds of counseling when seats sometimes become available. It's also worth looking into related fields such as IT or ECE, which also enjoy good career prospects.  Stay optimistic and maintain your options. Best of luck with your admissions!
