NIT

JEE Mains cut-off trends:
2017-81 marks
2016-100 marks
2015-105 marks
2014-115 marks
2013-113 marks
Anything above this you should qualify for counselling in govt. engineering colleges. As competition is fierce, you should secure high marks to qualify for the merit list of the top NITs.
Here are the most important factors that help derive JEE Main Cut off each year:
Total number of appeared candidates
Difficulty level of exam
Previous year cutoff
Number of available seats
Overall performance of the candidate

For joining any NIT, you have to appear for the Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) Mains after your class 12th. Admissions are given solely on the basis of your rank in JEE Mains.

Hello Vishal,
If you just happen to score more than cutoff off, it will not get you anywhere. Cut off is only to restrict number of students who can appear for JEE Advanced. For getting into NIT and good NIT, you need to score percentile of at least 75 in JEE Mains.

Not all NITs have aerospace engineering, but there is a GFTI named IIEST-Shibpur which has aerospace engineering. You need to qualify JEE Mains to get admission in IIEST, Shibpur.

Hello Pankaj,
The eligibility criteria to take admission in NITs are as follows:
1. If you belong to general or OBC category then you should score more than 75 percent marks in class 12th board exams.
2. If you belong to SC or ST category then you need a minimum of 65% in class 12th board exams.
3. If you are among the state top 20 percentile then also you are eligible for NIT.

Hello Nikita,
The average salary packages of NIT-Trichy for an engineering graduate ranges from 6-8 Lacs.
In Tamil Nadu, there are basically 2 NITs namely Trichy and Puducherry.
Since puducherry comes under union territory, I have said about NIT Trichy.

It depends upon cut-off. But according to this year, the cutoff were 81.
So, 160 is not enough for CSE in top NITs.
But, you can GFTIS and good state government colleges.
