Hello aspirant,

Students should have completed Class 12 or equivalent with a minimum of 50% marks along with the compulsory subjects (PCM).

The pass percentage for the reserved category is 45%( that is a 5% relaxation).

Students should have completed a Class 10+ 3 year diploma course in any stream from a recognized university/ board/ institution.

Cleared NATA (National Aptitude Test in Architecture) with the 80% marks conducted by Council of Architecture(CoA)

Thankyou

Dear aspirant,

If the seat that you secured was an EWS seat, then it is pretty natural that students infront of you in the ews seats did not abort their seats for iit seats. See all the seats are not ews seats only a few handful are and those seats gets filled up like ews seat of cs it extc are much more preferable to those 5756 students infront of you thus they did not change their seat or choose any nit below rourkela. 

Trust me rourkela is a great nit and a lot of students are applying for the higher demand subjects like extc that is why you weren't upgraded. If this was some other lesser ranked nit then you could have been upgraded.

Hello pradosh,

Your chances for upgradation via slide is quite difficult and there is a lot of difference between the opening and closing rank of both the branches but you have an another option for upgradation in 1st year based on your cg in the 1st year.

Hi Pradosh,

It depends on the company. They usually allow people from circuit branches to sit for their placements. But some of the top companies like Facebook London, Goldman Sachs, Amazon allow students from all the branches to sit for their placement, provided they have enough skills. If you clear GSoC and all then almost all companies would be keen to recruit you.

All the best

If you have no specific interest in any subject, mass recruiters like tcs, ibm and infosys are the companies for you. (3 - 3.5 lpa)

If you have prepared for CAT and Analytics tests, target companies like Affine Analytics, ZS associates, Mu Sigma and a few other analytics companies. ( 4 - 6 lpa)

If you are really good at mechanical, you have a slight chance of cracking core mechanical companies like honda, 3dplm, thermax, etc ( I say slight chance because most of the time IDians are not allowed to sit for mecha companies because their curriculum is incomplete for mechanical profile) ( 4 - 7 lpa)

If you want to persue product design, the best option is to go for higher studies or do internships and learn practically important stuff, ID curriculm's theory are insufficient to crack Product design jobs.

If you are good at design and has a decent portfolio - newgen is the company for you, they hire ui/ux designers. They look for good sense for design and logical creativity in a candidate. ( 5 - 6 lpa)

If you want to persue career in UI/UX, you have a lot of offcampus scope. With a good portfolio and a good resume, your degree in design will aid you in landing good jobs. ( 4 - 12 lpa, it really depends on how well you sell your skills, studying in NIT has nothing to do with it)
