Hi Rohan,

NIT Surathkal is a good college for M.Tech CSE course. Placements are are aslo very good, almost 70-80% students get placed. Average package for M.tech CSE is around 7-8 lakhs. If it is compared to other NIT's than it is a pretty good institute for M.Tech CSE. No doubt, NIT Trichy & NIT Rourkela are better for this course that NIT Surathkal.

Hello,

Cut off depends on the branch you are applying. So the cut off is different for each branch. And cut off changes every year depending on number of candidates appeared, difficulty of exam. So based on previous year cut off trends you need to score minimum 95 percentile or score in between 130-150 marks in JEE Main so that you have decent chances of getting seat.

Hello,
Your rank in the common rank list would be more than 200000 according to your percentile in JEE Mains. But as you have PwD category reservation, you have very much chances of getting some seat in the top NITs and IIITs and GFTIs.
You might get core branches with this rank. So please participate in the JOSAA counseling and CSAB spot round.
5% of the total seats are reserved for PwD category students. Also, the cutoff for PwD for JEE Mains 2020 is expected to be around 0.11 percentile.
You can also use the JEE Mains college predictor to know the probable colleges according to your rank and category https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://engineering.careers360.com/jee-main-college-predictor&ved=2ahUKEwjqnMGq37HrAhV2IbcAHUwRCN4QtwIwAXoECAIQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1pTMu5LewXe0n3JPiA8V2U
For more details about the cutoffs for various NITs please visit this link https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/jee-main-cutoff/amp&ved=2ahUKEwi3-LyA37HrAhWm73MBHUGWBjwQFjAMegQIBRAB&usg=AOvVaw0ay0p7xaI0Sc82xeEH0ED5&ampcf=1

Hello Aspirant,

NIT Calicut ranks 23 by NIRF while NIT Surathkal has NIRF rank of 13 which makes it better than NIT Calicut and other NITs.

Talking about faculties, NIT Surathkal has more better faculty where most of them are from thermal backgrounds.

Placements are satisfactory in both the NITs but for the deeper higher knowledge NIT Surathkal is far better.

Infrastructure is good in both the NITs.

Taking these factors into consideration, I will suggest you to go for NIT Surathkal Thermal Engineering course.

All the best!!


Hello Aspirant,

As we know that NIT Surathakal and NIT Warangal are among the top NITs of India and hence there is too much competition for that and you are asking for CSE branch which is the most demanding branch at present, so you have to score quite good marks to get seat.

As per the previous years cut-off :-

@ NIT Surathakal :-

  • Male :-
  1. OBC : 2627(HS) & 623(OS)
  2. EWS : 1102(HS) &  248(OS)
  3. General : 3561(HS) & 2156(OS)
  4. SC : 1101(HS) & 285(OS)
  5. ST : 336(HS) & 105(OS)
  • Female :-
  1. OBC : 7857(HS) & 2295(OS)
  2. EWS : 4610(HS) & 414(OS)
  3. General : 4920(HS) & 3874(OS)
  4. SC : 2337(HS) & 682(OS)
  5. ST : 1403(HS) & 552(OS)

@NIT Warangal :-

  • Male :-
  1. OBC : 1116(HS) & 660(OS)
  2. EWS : 400(HS) & 272(OS)
  3. General : 2977(HS) & 1980(OS)
  4. SC : 667(HS) & 251(OS)
  5. ST : 217(HS) & 129(OS)
  • Female :-
  1. OBC : 2338(HS) & 1112(OS)
  2. EWS : 765(HS) & 450(OS)
  3. General : 4632(HS) & 3840(OS)
  4. SC : 681(HS) & 865(OS)
  5. ST : 345(HS) & 206(OS)

So you can get idea from the above data that how much rank you should secure and if you ask about percentile, so you have to score 99.5 percentile or more than this and for this you have to score marks around 250 out of 300.

Note that above cut-off is of previous year and cut-offs are bound to change every year depending upon various factors.

You can also use JEE-Main College Predictor to predict the chances of your college link for the same is given below :-
