Have a question related to NIT Patna ?

Sir can i get admission in Electrical engineering in NiT patna if i got 93percentile in jee mains and i will apply ews and state quota

Hello,

You have a moderate chance of being accepted into NIT Patna's Electrical Engineering program if you applied under the EWS category and the Bihar state quota and scored in the 93th percentile of JEE Main 2025. This branch's EWS category closing ranks in prior years were quite near to your anticipated rank. Cutoffs, seat availability, and competition in your category all affect your chances of getting in. During JoSAA counselling, it is advised to rank NIT Patna's Electrical Engineering as a top choice. To increase your chances of admission, keep backup options in comparable NITs and think about related fields like instrumentation or EEE.
All the best.

61 percentile in JEE Mains
