College Infrastructure

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.

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.
