NIT Calicut All Questions

Hello Mr. Bini,

Considering your son's rank in JEE Main (3715 in General category, Maharashtra), here below is the categorization that might help you narrow down the options:

CSE in NIT Calicut (or Other NITs):

• CSE is a very popular branch with lots of placement opportunities if your son is looking at top NITs like Trichy, Warangal, Surathkal, and Calicut he won't go wrong with CSE.
• If your son likes coding, software and tech then CSE in NIT is a great option.
• The NITs that maintain a good CSE department and good placement are: Trichy, Warangal and Surathkal.

ECE in IIIT Hyderabad:

• IIIT-Hyderabad is a good institute with excellent academic and research environment particularly for ECE and other related interdisciplinary streams, particularly in the area of AI/ML, VLSI.
• The placement of IIIT-Hyderabad is excellent because other than IITs, IIIT-H students have the best placement options, particularly for research oriented/product based roles.
• If your son likes a research driven curriculum and he may think of higher studies or work in tech heavy roles, IIIT-H ECE is arguably the best choice of all options.

ECE in NIT Warangal/Surathkal/Trichy/Rourkela:

• These are very good NITs with good ECE department and strong industry partnerships.
• The placement is good, but is not as strong compared to CSE branches or IIIT-Hyderabad ECE.

If the emphasis is on core tech roles and software engineering, get him a place in CSE at a top NIT (ideally Trichy, Warangal, or Surathkal). If there is a willingness to accept a comprehensive, research-based academic program, with future scope in core tech, AI or higher studies, then ECE at IIIT Hyderabad could be the best long term option. Do not opt for lower-tier NITs if you can get him into one of these higher tier institutes.

With an OBC-NCL rank of 22,373 , getting admission to NIT Calicut is unlikely , as the closing ranks for most branches in previous years were much lower.

For example:

• CSE : ~2,846

• ECE : ~3,551

Consider exploring other NITs or use the Careers360 JEE Main College Predictor for a better estimate. Let me know your home state for more specific guidance.

It's difficult to say definitively whether a 94.4148 percentile in JEE Main, with home state, OBC, and female quota, will guarantee a BTech Physics seat at NIT Calicut. While a 94 percentile is a good score, it's not a guarantee of admission to a specific program at a specific NIT.

The final cutoff ranks and percentiles for NIT Calicut vary from year to year and are influenced by factors like the overall JEE Main performance, the number of applicants, and the number of seats available.

Your percentile needs to be converted to a rank, which is what is used for seat allotment during the JoSAA counselling process.

Home state quotas can significantly impact your chances, as seats are reserved for students from the state where the NIT is located.

These quotas further influence seat allocation, and the impact on a program like BTech Physics will depend on the specific number of reserved seats and the overall demand for that program.

I suggest you to use JEE predictor tool which will help you to know your chances in nit Calicut .

Based on the JEE Main 2024 cutoff data for NIT Calicut, a 78 percentile score may not be sufficient for admission into most B.Tech programs, even under the SC female category.

Closing ranks for SC female candidates in 2024:

- Computer Science and Engineering (CSE): 809 (Other State quota)

- Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE): 3551

- Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE): 4880

- Mechanical Engineering: 7097

- Civil Engineering: 11567

- Chemical Engineering: 9565

- Bio Technology: 11012

- Production Engineering: 11853

These ranks are All India Ranks (AIR). A 78 percentile typically translates to an AIR of around 180,000 to 200,000, which is higher (worse) than the required closing ranks.

Conclusion: It's unlikely that you’ll get a seat in NIT Calicut with 78 percentile under SC female category in 2025.

Recommendations:

- Explore other NITs with higher closing ranks.

- Look into state-level colleges with SC reservations.

- Participate in CSAB special rounds, which often have relaxed cutoffs.

- Consider alternative exams like COMEDK or state CETs.

NIT Calicut cutoff

Determining NIT Calicut admission result with 93 percentile is complex, here are some factors on which the selection depends:

Category: General, OBC, SC, ST, EWS, etc., significantly impacts cutoffs.

• Home State vs. Other State: Home state quotas often have lower cutoffs.
• Branch: Highly sought-after branches like Computer Science Engineering (CSE) have much higher cutoffs than others.
• Yearly Variations: Cutoffs fluctuate based on exam difficulty and applicant numbers.
• Seat Allocation: The JoSAA counseling process plays a crucial role.

However, here's a general overview based on available information:

• A 93 percentile places you within a certain rank range, and this rank determines your eligibility.
• Based on the information provided from the search results, a 93 percentile puts a student near the general cut off for qualifying for JEE advanced.
• It is possible to get into some NIT's with a 93 percentile, but getting into the most desired branches at NIT Calicut may be difficult.
• To get a more precise idea, you should:
  • Refer to the official JoSAA counseling website.
  • Check previous years' NIT Calicut cutoff trends for your category and preferred branch.
  • Use JEE Main college predictors available online.
• Key Points:
• Depends on the cut off trend of each year.
• It also depends on the branch of engineering you want to study.\

Hope this helps !

Hello aspirant,

With 86.45 percentile in JEE Main 2025 and SC category , your expected rank would be around 55,000–60,000 (CRL) and 4,000–5,000 (SC rank) .

For NIT Calicut (CS branch) , the SC category closing rank in previous years was around 1,500–2,000 . Since your SC rank might be above 4,000 , getting CSE at NIT Calicut seems difficult . However, you may get other branches like Civil, Chemical, or Mechanical .

Advice : Wait for official cutoffs, check CS in newer NITs or other top GFTIs.


I would recommend you to use JEE Mains College Predictor Tool by Careers360 to get the list of possible colleges you can get with your rank.

Hello,

Given the previous years' cutoffs, securing a seat in the B.Arch programs at NIT Trichy and NIT Calicut with a JEE Main B.Arch rank of 2,212 may be challenging. However, cutoffs can vary each year based on factors like the number of applicants, seat availability, and overall performance.
