NIT

The admission of the NIT Surat Computer Science Engineering course will depend, as always, on the JEE Main rank; it varies yearly according to the number of applicants and seats available. Generally, the candidates from the general category need to score within the top 10,000 to get a desired admission in the home state quota.

Prospective students from the rest of India may need to get a higher rank than that, quite often within 5,000. For reserved categories, the rank cutoff is quite relaxed. Getting a percentile of 97 or more in JEE Main increases the chances of admission significantly.

One should try to excel in each of the JEE Main sections like Mathematics and Physics for getting maximum marks. Knowing the cutoff trend of the last year may also give better insights into the marks required for the candidate to ensure a safe position in the merit list. 

With an OBC rank of 20,000 in JEE Mains, it is quite challenging to secure a seat in the Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) branch at top NITs, as the competition is fierce, and the cutoffs tend to be high for popular branches like ECE. However, there are still possibilities to get into some NITs with this rank, especially in lower-ranked NITs or through state-level quotas.

1. NIT Agartala
2. NIT Patna
3. NIT Rourkela
4. NIT Srinagar
5. NIT Jamshedpur
6. NIT Durgapur
7. NIT Raipur
8. NIT Manipur

Other Option

• Other branches in top NITs: If you are flexible with the branch, you might have better chances in other engineering branches that are less competitive compared to ECE.

• State Quotas: Some NITs offer state quotas, so if you are from a state where an NIT is located, you may have slightly lower cutoffs for that particular institute.

Your chances of getting into an NIT with a JEE Main rank of 65,587 and a 66% on your Class 12 examinations rely on a number of variables such as your category the branch you want to pursue, and state quotas. It is improbable to earn a spot in the top NITs under the general category based on cutoffs from prior years. However your chances increase if you have a home state quota advantage or are a member of a reserved category (SC, ST, OBC or EWS).

For instance, under certain quotas, certain lower tier NITs or less desirable fields may take rankings in your range. To investigate your possibilities use resources such as the JEE Main College Predictor or look into JoSAA cutoffs.?

With a rank of 7308 in the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main, gaining admission to the Computer Science Engineering (CSE) branch at any of the National Institutes of Technology (NITs) can be quite competitive. While your rank falls within a potentially acceptable range, chances of admission depend heavily on the specific NIT you are targeting, as well as its cutoff trends for the EWS (Economically Weaker Sections) category. Generally, top NITs like NIT Trichy, NIT Surathkal, and NIT Warangal tend to have higher cutoffs for CSE, often requiring ranks significantly better than 7308. However, mid-tier NITs may have a higher chance of accommodating your rank in the EWS category, especially as seat allocations can vary each year. It's advisable to check previous years' cutoff data and trends for specific NITs and to consider participating in the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) counseling process to explore all available options based on your rank and preferences.

Yes, there are several private universities that have been recognised in the QS World University Rankings by Subject (QSWUR) 2024 for Computer Science and Engineering (CSE). Institutions like Shiv Nadar University, Ashoka University, and Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology have made notable entries in the rankings and are known for their quality education and robust research programs in CSE. These universities often emphasize innovative teaching methodologies, industry partnerships, and state-of-the-art facilities, making them attractive alternatives to traditional IITs and NITs. Additionally, many of these private universities also offer strong placement opportunities and nurture a vibrant academic environment, providing students with a comprehensive education in computer Science and engineering. Therefore, students seeking admission in CSE should consider these reputable institutions for their academic pursuits.
