With your daughter's JEE Main rank, admission to the CSE branch in NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs depends heavily on category, quota, and counseling rounds. In 2025, top NITs closed CSE around AIR 1,000–3,000, mid‑tier NITs around 5,000–8,000, and newer NITs/IIITs extended up to 12,000–15,000. GFTIs often go further, sometimes beyond 20,000.
| Institute Type | Typical Closing Rank (GEN) | EWS/OBC Closing Rank | SC/ST Closing Rank | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Top NITs (Trichy, Surathkal, Warangal, Allahabad) | ~1,500–3,000 | ~2,500–5,000 | ~10,000–15,000 | Highly competitive; only top percentiles secure CSE |
| Mid‑Tier NITs (Kurukshetra, Durgapur, Jamshedpur, Nagpur, Bhopal) | ~5,000–8,000 | ~7,000–12,000 | ~18,000–25,000 | Good chance for strong but not top ranks |
| Newer NITs (Arunachal, Mizoram, Manipur, Srinagar, Agartala) | ~10,000–12,000 | ~12,000–15,000 | ~25,000–35,000 | More accessible; CSE still fills quickly |
| IIITs (newer) (Una, Bhagalpur, Kottayam, Ranchi, Nagpur) | ~12,000–15,000 | ~15,000–20,000 | ~30,000–40,000 | Often admit in later rounds |
| GFTIs (BIT Mesra, Gurukul Kangri, Assam Univ, etc.) | ~15,000–20,000+ | ~20,000–25,000 | ~35,000–45,000 | Backup option; wider range of closing ranks |

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.
👉 Is percentile par NIT Surathkal me admission possible nahi hai, chahe lower branch bhi ho.
Aapke Options
- JoSAA Counseling: NIT/IIIT/GFTI admission possible nahi hoga.
- State Govt. Colleges (REAP Rajasthan, HSTES Haryana, UPSEE, Maharashtra CAP):
