To get into an IIIT in Andhra Pradesh (AP), you generally need a strong performance on the JEE Main exam and a good score in the AP EAMCET exam, along with meeting the eligibility criteria. The specific marks required for admission will vary based on the IIIT, the course, and the category of the candidate.

Key Factors for IIIT Admission in AP:

JEE Main:

This exam is a primary criterion for admission to most IIITs in India, including those in AP.

AP EAMCET:

While JEE Main is the main exam, some IIITs also consider the AP EAMCET score for admission, especially for specific programs or for students from the state of AP.

Eligibility Criteria:

Most IIITs require a minimum aggregate of 75% in Class 12 with Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry/Biology/Biotechnology/Technical Vocational Subjects as compulsory subjects.

Rank and Percentile:

Your overall rank and percentile in JEE Main and/or AP EAMCET will determine your chances of getting into your preferred IIIT and course.

JoSAA/CCMT Counselling:

Admissions are typically done through JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) for JEE Main and through CCMT (Centralized Counselling for M.Tech.) for GATE.

Cutoff Ranks:

The cutoff ranks for IIITs in AP will vary based on the course, category, and the specific IIIT.

Category-Wise Reservations:

IIITs follow the state government's reservations for SC, ST, BC, EWS, and other categories.

Female Candidates:

There may be a horizontal reservation of seats for female candidates in each category.

Specific IIITs in AP and their requirements:

IIIT Sri City: Admissions are primarily based on JEE Main and JoSAA counselling.

IIITDM Kurnool: Offers admissions based on JEE Main and AP EAMCET scores, along with CCMT for M.Tech.

IIIT Nuzvid/RGUKT: Provides integrated B.Tech programs for students with high marks in their 10th standard.

Tips for Increasing your Chances:

Focus on JEE Main:

Strive to score well on JEE Main to improve your chances of getting into a good IIIT.

Consider AP EAMCET:

If you are from Andhra Pradesh and the IIIT accepts AP EAMCET, consider preparing for that exam as well.

Research IIITs and Courses:

Thoroughly research the different IIITs in AP and their respective cutoff ranks and admission criteria.

Stay Updated:

Keep an eye on the official websites of JoSAA, CCMT, and the IIITs for the latest updates on admission procedures and cutoffs.

Hello Aspirant,

Selecting the top institute between IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Agartala, IIIT Dharwad, IIIT Kalyani, IIITV-ICD, IIIT Senapati, BIT Patna, and NIT Arunachal Pradesh for CSE is based on a variety of factors

Placement Trends:

1. Among the options provided here, IIIT Dharwad and IIIT Kalyani generally have the strongest placement records, although some students got decent placements through product-based and service companies.

2. BIT Patna and NIT Arunachal Pradesh do well in terms of placements through "service" sector companies, leaking out a small amount of placements.

3. IIITV-ICD (the newer campus of IIIT Vadodara) is evolving, but growing.

4. IIIT Agartala, IIIT Bhagalpur, and IIIT Senapati - being younger still, might have some sparse placement history at this point.

Alumni Network :

1. Older institutions like BIT Patna and NIT Arunachal Pradesh have a more robust alumni network and culture.
2. IIIT Dharwad and IIIT Kalyani are rapidly developing an alumni culture.
3. Younger IIITs have some distance to travel in terms of having a strong alumni presence when it comes to alumni presence.

Exposure & Opportunities :

1. IIITs focus more on coding culture and tech events, which is a blessing for CSE students.
2. IIIT Dharwad and Kalyani have been participating in coding competitions, hackathons, and tech partnerships.
3. Location also makes a difference — being close to tech hotspots such as Bangalore (Dharwad) or Kolkata (Kalyani) can provide more visibility.

Faculty:

1. The quality of the faculty is inconsistent for all except IIIT Kalyani and Dharwad have improved ratios of older PhDs as well as research-productive faculty.
2. IIIT Dharwad and IIIT Kalyani have relatively better hostels also. Unlike other IIITs they have even better food quality.

Food and Hostel Facilities:

1. It has been suggested in the feedback that IIIT Dharwad and IIIT Kalyani have relatively better hostels as well as quality of food.
2. BIT Patna also has decent facilities, but NIT Arunachal and IIITs of NE region may have limited option based on their location.

Conclusion:

1. If placements and coding culture are your top priority, opt for IIIT Dharwad or IIIT Kalyani.

3. For those willing to bet on improving campuses, IIIT Bhagalpur or IIITV-ICD could offer fast-growing opportunities with time.

Hello,

With an 85 percentile, OBC rank around 71,500, CRL rank 2,00,000, home state quota, and a green card, your chances of getting admission to IIIT Bhubaneswar might be limited, as the cutoffs usually are a bit higher. However, it’s still worth participating in the counseling process and exploring all your options carefully.

Stay positive and keep backup options ready to ensure you get the best possible seat.

Hope it helps you!

It is unlikely you will get into IIIT Bhubaneswar with an OBC rank of 71,500 and a CRL rank of 200,000, even with a home state quota and the "green card gender" designation.

IIIT Bhubaneswar's cutoff for OBC category typically falls between 55,106 and 88,047.

For IIIT Pune, the opening ranks for the SC category (I am mentioning two of the main streams):

For CSE

• Opening Rank (Round 1): Approximately 2,031

• Closing Rank (Round 1): Approximately 3,704

For ECE

• Opening Rank (Round 1): Approximately 4,140

• Closing Rank (Round 1): Approximately 5,367

But the cut off data may vary year to year according to various circumstances. these data are based on the JoSAA Round 1 data for 2024. so for more clarity stick to the updates and infos

Hello Vaibhav,

You're in a good spot with a 97 percentile and solid IIIT/NIT/BIT Mesra options.

If your aim is software/tech industry (coding, product, startups, placements): opt for CSE at any of the IIITs at Dharwad, Ranchi, Bhagalpur or Manipur. Even tier-3 IIITs (CSE) will lead to better placements and internship opportunities in software roles than core branches at NITs. These will lead to better ROI than core branches, due to the tech placements and remote work.

Your next best option: IIIT ECE at Sri City or Una (ECE at Sri City has good industry engagement since it is close to Chennai & tech parks).

Recommended Prioritisation (if you are comfortable pursuing a tech career):

1. IIIT CSE (Dharwad > Ranchi > Bhagalpur > Manipur)
2. BIT Mesra – ECC/EEE
3. IIIT ECE (Sri City > Una > Nagpur > others)
4. NIT JSR – Civil > Metallurgy > Production
5. IIITDM Kancheepuram (Mech).

Based on your OBC-NCL rank of 20,242 and CRL rank of 66,500 in JEE Main 2024, here is a branch-wise estimate of the NITs and IIITs you may get admission to in 2025 :

1. Understanding Your Rank and Cutoffs

• OBC-NCL category cutoff percentile for IIITs is around 83–92 for popular branches like CSE, ECE, IT.

• Your rank (20,242 OBC-NCL) corresponds roughly to a percentile near 83–85 , which is competitive for mid-tier branches and some top NITs/IIITs but unlikely for top branches like CSE in premier institutes.

• Your CRL rank (66,500) places you in a position to get non-CSE branches in many NITs and IIITs.

2. Branch-Wise Chances in NITs

3. Branch-Wise Chances in IIITs

4. Top NITs and IIITs You May Get

5. Summary & Suggestions

• CSE branch at top NITs and IIITs is unlikely at your rank.

• You have good chances for core branches like Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, Chemical in many NITs and IIITs.

• Choose branches like Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical for better chances.

• Use JoSAA and CSAB counseling tools to check real-time seat allotments.

• Consider GFTIs and state engineering colleges for more options.

• IIIT Cutoff Details - Collegedunia (https://collegedunia.com/exams/jee-main/cut-off-for-iiits)

In brief:

• Your OBC-NCL rank ~20,000 can get you ECE, Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, Chemical branches in many NITs and IIITs.

• CSE and IT branches at top NITs/IIITs are tough to get at this rank.

• Focus on mid-tier branches and institutes for admission.

Hi Aryan gautam,

Yes, as an SC category candidate, you have decent chances of some lower-level NITs, IIITs or GFTIs (provided that the branches are not highly competitive). There is also a better chance for your home state (if you fall under the home state quota). Your chances may be even lower at top NITs or IIITs. I would suggest you check the SC category previous year cutoffs on the JoSAA website to give you a better idea of where you may get admission.

With a JEE Main percentile of 94.3 , an Open rank of 85,451 , and an EWS rank of 12,127 , your chances for Electronics and Electrical Engineering (EEE) or related branches in IIITs and GFTIs are possible but limited to newer or less competitive institutes and branches.

IIIT Admission Chances

• General Category:
  Most IIITs have closing ranks for core branches (like CSE, ECE, EEE) well below 85,000 for the Open category. The cutoff for General category in IIITs typically ranges from 10,000 to 100,000, but for EEE or similar branches, closing ranks in newer IIITs may sometimes go up to 1,00,000 (https://www.collegedekho.com/articles/jee-main-cut-off-for-iiits/) (https://collegedunia.com/exams/jee-main/cutoff) .

• EWS Category:
  With an EWS rank of 12,127, your chances improve slightly, but top and mid-tier IIITs will still be out of reach. You may have a chance in newer IIITs or for less popular branches if seats remain after higher preferences are filled (https://www.collegedekho.com/articles/jee-main-cut-off-for-iiits/) .

GFTI Admission Chances

• GFTIs generally have higher closing ranks than IIITs, especially for non-core branches. With your rank, you may have a chance for EEE or related branches in some GFTIs, particularly those with lower demand or in remote locations (https://www.shiksha.com/engineering/jee-main-exam-cutoff) (https://collegedunia.com/exams/jee-main/cutoff) .

Summary Table

Key Points

• Top IIITs and top branches are out of reach at your rank, but you may get EEE or similar branches in newer IIITs or GFTIs, especially in later rounds of JoSAA counselling.

• Fill as many choices as possible during counselling to maximize your chances.

• Cutoffs vary each year based on seat availability and applicant pool, so keep checking official JoSAA cutoffs after each round (https://www.collegedekho.com/articles/jee-main-cut-off-for-iiits/) (https://collegedunia.com/exams/jee-main/cutoff) .

Conclusion:
You have a fair chance for EEE or related branches in some newer IIITs and several GFTIs, especially under the EWS category, but not in top institutes. Participate actively in JoSAA counselling and consider all available options.
