Sir, I secured 97.2 percentile in the JEE mains 2020, with a rank of about 32,000. If I want to go for NIT Durgapur, most preferably because it is my home state NIT, then which branch should I opt for...? keeping in mind about its placements, good faculties, and a better option for internship...

Hello Aspirant,

According to the rank you have mentioned in the question you have higher chances of getting in to NIT Durgapur as per previous year's cut-off but of you are talking for placement purposes then there are branches like Civil and Mechanical Engineering which you can get on such rank. As cut-offs for this year is not declared yet so we can guide you on the basis of previous year's cut-offs.

For complete details about previous year's cut-offs refer the link given below :-

Note that the cut-offs are bound to change evry year depending upon various factors, so to get an idea we can use last year's cut-offs.

However I would recommend you to use JEE-Main College Predictor to predict the chances of your admission in different colleges based upon your percentile and category :-
