NIT Kolkata Q&A on Admission, Fee, Courses, Placements, Cutoff

Dear Aspirant, hope you are doing well. Sorry to disappoint you but at this category rank it is not possible to get into NITS or GFTIS. You can try for private colleges which accept JEE MAINS Score like Nirma University, Thapar University, PDPU, DAIICT, Sastra University, etc. Hope it helps!!

Dear sir l have 70 % marks in board exam ( mahrashtra ) .Should l eligible for NIT/IIT admissions if my score of JEE is enough good?

greetings raju,

if you are a general category student, 70% is not enough. you need a minimum of 75%.

if you are a reserved category, a relaxation of 10% i.e. 65% is fine.

otherwise, your rank in jee should be superb to make it to the iits or nits.

pls

The two main criteria for getting admission into nits, iits or iiits is:
1. You should be in top 20 percentile of your respective board
2. You should get a minimum aggregate of 75
% if you're from general or obc category and 65% If you're from sc

I got 78 percentile in mains and I belongs to OBC category and in class 12 I scored 93.5%. Am I eligible to get admissions in NIT.

Hey ShivaniKumari,

Unfortunately the seats in NITs have closing ranks for OBC girls around 94-95 percentile at the extreme. So factually speaking 78 percentile might not fetch you anything. You should consider private colleges that give fee waiver based on JEE Mains percentile or local government colleges. Hope that helped.

Sir my rank is 40000 in sc category .I m eligible to get any NIT? Sir

Hi tushar ,
I regret to inform you that with such a low score you cannot get admission into any prestigious college of engineering like nits or iiits.

For the students of sc category to get admission into nits they must have to score atleast a rank of 5k.

My collegiate experience was exceptional and continues to improve daily, establishing a high standard that few other institutions in West Bengal can match. The staff were excellent, and the guidance I received was superb.

One of the best college in Kolkata.
