Respected sir;

To get into an NIT (any branch) try to get atleast 140+ in JEE Mains. But if you want to get CS/IT or any other core engineering branch then the cutoff are as follows :-

 

CS/IT : 195+

 

MECH : 190+

 

ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONICS : 185+

 

CIVIL : 168+

 

Any other non core branch (Chemical/Metallurgy/Production etc.) : 145+

 

Non engineering branches (Physics/Chemistry/Maths etc.) : 140+

 

Kindly note: The cutoff mentioned above are just to get an NIT, but to get a Top NIT, try to get atleast 235+

 

Best of Luck.

You will get mechanical only via home state quota i.e the NIT in your state.
You might get other branches in other NITs.
