NIT Surathkal (NIT Karnataka) ke liye Computer Science ya kisi bhi engineering branch admission cutoff bahut high hota hai.
Cutoff Reality (EWS/General Category)
- CSE at NIT Surathkal: Closing rank ≈ EWS 1,000–2,000 (percentile 98+).
- Other branches (Civil, Mechanical, Metallurgy): Closing rank ≈ EWS 8,000–12,000 (percentile 95+).
- Your Percentile: 58 → Approx. All India Rank ~13 lakh.

Aapke Options
- JoSAA Counseling: NIT/IIIT/GFTI admission possible nahi hoga.
- State Govt. Colleges (REAP Rajasthan, HSTES Haryana, UPSEE, Maharashtra CAP):
