I am gen category with 86.4percentile in jee mains can i get nit calicut i hv 74percent in 12 boards

Hello aspirant!

Thanks for sharing your details.

Unfortunately, for General category candidates, the minimum eligibility for admission into NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs through JEE Mains is 75% marks in Class 12 or being in the top 20 percentile of your board (whichever is lower).
Since you have 74%, you fall just short of the 75% rule. However, if your board’s top 20 percentile cutoff is lower than 74%, you might still be eligible. You'll need to check the CBSE/State Board top 20 percentile cutoff for 2024 or 2025, once it’s published.

With 86.4 percentile, your CRL rank would be around 1.3 to 1.5 lakh, approximately. For NIT Calicut, being a well-ranked and in-demand NIT, the cutoff for General category students is usually much higher (percentiles above 97 for CSE and above 92–95 even for lower branches like Production or Civil). So, with your percentile, it’s very unlikely to get NIT Calicut, especially in general category.

So to conclude:

You may not be eligible for NITs unless the top 20 percentile rule works in your favor.
Even if eligible, your chances at NIT Calicut are very low with this percentile.
You should explore other options like private colleges that accept JEE scores, state counselling, or universities like Shiv Nadar, UPES, or Amrita, where your score might still help.

All the best!

My son have 3715 score in JEE mains, general category, Maharashtra. please suggest, which is best for my child career:- 1 CSE in NIT Calicut/ other NIT OR 2. ECE in IIIT, Hyderabad Or 3. ECE in NIT Warangal/Rourkela/ Surathkal/Trichy. etc Please guide

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.

Can I get admission to NIT Calicut in any round with 22373 OBC_NCL rank

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.

can i get btech physics with 94.4148 percentile with home qouta and obc and female for nit calicut

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 .

Can I get nit Calicut with 78 percentile sc girl

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

Can I get nit Calicut if my mark is 93 in April 3 shift 2

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 !

I Have scored 86.4518945 Percentile in jee main2025. i am belongs to SC catogory . my home station is KERALA. Shall i get CS at NIT CALICUT

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.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

One of the largest engineering colleges in Kerala build a long time back standing out in infrastructure and a large campus. Classrooms are big enough to accommodate the large population of students, especially the first year classrooms, seminar halls and auditoriums are the finest. Regular maintainance of living spaces keeps it clean and tidy. Food is good offering us to try a very vast variety of cuisines across India all in one place.
