hello aspirant..

for admission in nits for architecture  you need to have a minimum of 97 percentile. though you belong to home state karnataka you do not have any advantage through it because nit surathkal doesnt provide the barch course. you  can have hope because certain nits have increassed their seats for architecture therefore there will be a slight relaxation in the cutoff of jee mains paper  2 . work hard and do well in the  next session of jee mains paper 2 and score a percentile of 99 plus for better options,.

all the best

Hello,

As per the last year cut offs to get admission in NIT for barch the minimum of 95 percentile is required.  As you are having 96 percentile then it is pretty good marks for you.

Then you have the chances to get nits.

As you are from the obc category then also you have some chances because there is always there is a reservation for all the special chances.

For more details about the rank or college  you can check the following link

Hope it will be helpful for you.

Thank you.
