Hello,

The rank range to get admission in Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) differs from institute to institute, category to category, and state to state. Here is a general guideline based on previous trends:

General Category

• Top NITs (for example, NIT Trichy, NIT Surathkal): Under 10,000
• Mid-tier NITs/IIITs (for example, NIT Durgapur, IIIT Allahabad): Under 20,000 - 30,000
• Lower-tier NITs/State-Funded Colleges: Under 40,000 - 60,000

Reserved Categories (OBC/SC/ST)

• OBC-NCL: Less than 40,000 rank for the best NITs and 60,000-70,000 for others.
• SC/ST : Candidates with ranks below 1,50,000 can get admission in some NITs or state colleges with ECE courses.

Factors that affect Admission

• Quota : Home state candidates have a relaxed cutoff in NITs.
• Rounds of Counseling : Spot rounds and CSAB counseling may provide seats at higher ranks.
