The cutoff for NITs (National Institutes of Technology) for the General category is determined by your JEE Main percentile and rank.

JEE Main 2025 Cutoff for NITs – General Category

  • Qualifying Percentile (to be eligible for NITs):

    • General category: You need at least 93.10 percentile to qualify for JEE Advanced, but for NIT admission, the cutoff is usually higher (https://www.aakash.ac.in/jee-main-cut-off) .

    • Expected safe percentile for NIT admission: 95+ percentile (https://www.shiksha.com/engineering/articles/nit-cutoff-blogId-20217) (https://testbook.com/jee-main/cutoff) .

  • Expected Cutoff Marks:

    • For General category, the cutoff is typically between 92 and 100 marks in JEE Main 2025 5 (https://testbook.com/jee-main/cutoff) .

  • Rank-wise Cutoff for Top Branches (e.g., CSE):

    • For top NITs and popular branches like Computer Science, closing ranks for General category are often below 10,000 (sometimes even lower for the most in-demand NITs) (https://www.shiksha.com/engineering/jee-main-exam-cutoff) .

    • For other branches and lower-tier NITs, closing ranks can go up to 200,000–300,000 .

Summary Table

Category Qualifying Percentile Expected Safe Percentile for NIT Cutoff Marks (2025)
General (UR) 93.10 95+ 92–100

Key Points

  • Higher percentile and lower rank are needed for top NITs and branches like CSE.

  • Cutoff changes every year based on difficulty, number of applicants, and seat availability.

  • JoSAA counseling releases round-wise opening and closing ranks for each NIT and branch after the JEE Main results. (https://www.shiksha.com/engineering/articles/nit-cutoff-blogId-20217)

In short:

  • For NIT admission in the General category, aim for at least 95+ percentile or 92–100 marks in JEE Main 2025.

  • For top branches (like CSE), you’ll need a much better rank (often under 10,000).

Check JoSAA counseling rounds for precise, branch-wise, and NIT-wise cutoffs after results are published.
