NIT

Admission to NITs is based on JEE Mains. You need to clear JEE Mains with a minimum of 200 marks to get a good NIT.

Hello Kiran,
The admission into NITs for undergraduate engineering programs is based on your ranks in JEE main examination. As NIT K, Surathkal is one of the top NITs, you need to have a score of at least above 250 to get a seat.

Its rare in any college that architecture students get selected on campus. Same is with MANIT. You can't rely on campus placement. Yet MANIT architecture is one of the best available in country.

Hello Priyanshu,
Why aeronautical engineering? It's tough to get placement in this branch for core competencies jobs. IIT-Mumbai is the best. For NIT, unfortunately, intercomparison from independent agencies is not available and hence difficult to decide a top NIT.

Hello Sandip,
I feel CSE is offered in all of the NIT's. Of course they have to keep up with student demand.

This year the opening rank was 4500 and closing rank was around 10000 for B.Tech Civil Engineering in NIT Surathkal.
In 2016, opening rank was 4605 and closing rank around was 11151. Score should be more than 220.

If you are unable to crack JEE and do not get selected for IITs or NITs, it is not the end of your engineering career dream. In order to have good engineering degree, you may try for BITS, BIT, VIT University, Manipal University, Shiv Nadar University, Tapar University, DTU, NSIT, NIIT University, JIT University etc. by participating in their admission process. Few engineering colleges under UPTU such as JSS, AKG etc. are equally good. If you dream of doing B.Tech from IITs or NITs only, you may evaluate taking one year drop for engineering entrance examination preparations.
