NIT Hamirpur - National Institute of Technology Answered Questions

It would be safe to assume that 140 marks would mean a rank around 35k-40k. I am taking the upper bound to ensure the worst case scenario. If you want to aim for computer science and engineering branch only, then there is a very slim chance that you would be able to get into any NIT directly. You would have to opt for internal shuffling which comes with the obvious risk of getting stuck with a branch that you don't want. If you decide on another branch that you would like to pursue, then maybe you can get an NIT.

I don't think that you can get admission in NIT Hamiprur through Management Quota as it is usually for the self-funded private colleges only and not for government funded colleges. Management quota is not available in NIT Hamirpur. Hence you cannot get admission here by management quota.

After locking the choices, you have to wait for the results of the rounds to come out one by one. When the results come out, you'll be notified by the CSAB system if you have gotten a seat in one of the colleges that you have filled in the choices for, and it will be according to the priority you have given the colleges. Once you get allotted a seat, you'll have to go the nearest reporting center to book that seat or neglect it and move on to the next round. And yes, if you don't get the seat that you want in a round, you can sack that seat and wait for a seat to be allotted in the subsequent round.

Sadly, no. Because the cut-offs for B.Arch. in other state quota for SC category ended at below 1000 for all four rounds of CSAB in 2015. Considering this year's first cut-off, the trend seems to be the same, with the cut-off maybe reaching around 1500, but not higher than that. I'm sorry, but you won't be able to get admission into this college in B.Arch.

I am from CSE branch so I can give you the data for the average and highest package for CSE branch only. The average placement has been around Rs.8 lakhs for the CSE branch, in the past year. The highest on-campus placement was for Drishti Soft Solutions Pvt. Ltd., which offers Rs.16.7 lakhs per annum and only takes 3 students each year. Notable companies that the students of CSE branch were placed in are Samsung R&D, Oracle Financial Services Software, SAP Labs, PayTm, SOCOMO Tech. (Jugnoo), Drishti, Snapdeal (in 2015), Quizizz. Note that these are all not necessarily on-campus placements.

Yes you can get NIT Hamirpur. You might not get CSE but you can get Electrical, Chemical and Civil here. The cut-offs for those were in between 16000 to 24000 category rank for other state. If your AIR is 21600 then your category rank should be around 16000. Also, yes NIT Hamirpur is better than NIT Silchar and NIT Srinagar, based on the Times of India rankings.
