you need at least 75% in boards or be in the top 20 percentile of your board. If you belong to SC, ST, or PwD category, then the requirement is relaxed to 65%. Once you meet this eligibility, your admission will mainly depend on your JEE Main rank and JoSAA counselling, not directly on your board marks.

Hello dear,

I would like to clarify a very important point here. NITs are technical institutes that offer B.Tech, M.Tech, MSc, MBA, and PhD programs. To join NIT Durgapur for an undergraduate program, the main entry is through JEE Mains, which requires a science background in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics in Class 11 and 12. Since you are currently in Commerce stream under WBBSE board, unfortunately you will not be eligible for B.Tech admission in NITs because Mathematics and Science are compulsory. If you still want to be part of NIT Durgapur, there are other options you can consider. NITs also have MBA programs for which you can apply after completing graduation in Commerce (like B.Com, BBA, etc.) and clearing exams such as CAT. Another option could be pursuing MSc Economics or related fields if offered, depending on your graduation path. My suggestion is to first complete your Class 12 with good marks in Commerce, pursue your undergraduate course, and then plan accordingly. You have time, so research all possible career pathways.

Thank you,

Keep working hard!

Hello aspirant!

With an 82 percentile in JEE Mains and an OBC-NCL rank of around 89,000, getting admission into NIT Durgapur will be quite difficult, especially for popular branches like Computer Science, Electronics, or Mechanical. These branches usually close much earlier for both general and OBC-NCL categories under the home state quota.

However, you might have a slim chance in less preferred branches like Biotechnology, Metallurgical, or Mining Engineering, particularly during the CSAB special rounds. So it's still worth applying and keeping those rounds in mind. Sometimes unexpected vacancies open up.

Apart from NIT Durgapur, you should also explore other options like private engineering colleges in West Bengal that accept JEE Main scores. A few good ones include Techno India University, IEM Kolkata, Heritage Institute of Technology, and UEM Kolkata. They have decent infrastructure and placements, and admission is generally more flexible with ranks in this range.

If you also appeared for WBJEE, that could offer you more opportunities in state colleges.

Stay positive and keep your options open during counselling process and don't lose hope. All the best!


With 76.31 percentile (SC, Female, West Bengal) in JEE Main 2025 , your SC category rank is likely above 35,000 .

Chance in Central Govt Colleges:

  • IIEST Shibpur : Low chance for CSE/IT; possible in Mining or Civil.

  • NIT Durgapur (Home State) : Tough for top branches; Civil or lower branches may be possible.

  • Newer IIITs/GFTIs : Some chances in lower branches depending on cutoff trends.

What to Do:

  • Register for JoSAA counselling.

  • Fill as many choices as possible (include low-demand branches).

  • Keep checking official cutoffs.

You cannot submit your OBC NCL certificate is from Bihar in nit Durgapur ,you can still avail the home state quota benefits in NIT Durgapur under the OBC category if your state of eligibility is West Bengal; you just need to ensure your certificate is valid and recognized by the West Bengal government for admission purposes.

Obtain a obc certificate from west bengal government if both states have same eligibility criteria and ensure you must fulfill it.
