Hello,

According to previous year, the top NITs such as NIT Trichy, NIT Surathkal, NIT Warangal, and NIT Rourkela had cutoffs for ST candidates in this branch ranging from around 1,500 to 3,000 (CRL-ST rank) in the JEE Main exam. In mid-tier NITs like NIT Calicut, NIT Durgapur, NIT Silchar, and NIT Hamirpur, the closing ranks for the ST category went up to 4,000–6,000 depending on the round of counselling and whether the seat was under Home State or Other State quota.

Hope this helps. All the best!
