Thank you.
Answer laterSir, i have gate score 453. I belongs to OBC category. Could i get admission in Computer Science Engineering field at NIT puducherry?
Hello Aspirant,
As per the previous year NSR mop Up round you can have the chance to get National Institute of Technology Arunachal Pradesh, National Institute of Technology Nagaland- M.tech CSE programme.
You can check your other admission possibilities with GATE college predictor tool given below.
I have secured 94.69 percentile and comes under obc category,is their any chances of getting into NIT Puducherry in other state quota??
Your rank can be predicted by using the formula, (100-your total percentile)*869010/100. In your case, your approximate rank would be 46144. Let's say the number of candidates for April exam increased to 12,00,000 then your final rank shall be (100 - your total score) X 12,00,000/100.
The cut offs for previous years for various branches at NIT Puducherry for Other State Candidates has been as follows:
Civil: 9307
CSE: 4627
ECE: 6263
me: 8352
EEE: 8127
So with your rank even with OBC reservation, NIT Puducherry might be tad less. You might have to appear for April session.
You haven't mentioned your Home State to analyse your other options. This is because the cut off ranks are different for Home State Candidates and other State Candidates. Please do help us with your Home State. Meanwhile, now to predict colleges, please use our college predictor: https://engineering.careers360.com/jee-main-college-predictor
i got 78.37 percentile in jee mains. can i get PSG college of engineering, Coimbatore or NIT puducherry through home state quota ?
With your percentile, you overall rank will be around 187966. You can predict your own rank using the formula:
(100- your percentile score)869010/100.
Here, 869010 is the number of candidates who appeared in JEE mains January session. If the number of candidates change in April session, then your rank will change.
Also, this is not category specific rank.
Now, with this rank, you may get admission in NIT Puducherry. Looking at previous cutoff, you may get admission in CSE, civil, mechanical and electrical engineering through home state quota. It ranges around 1 lac to 1,90,000. You can see previous cutoff in the link below:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/engineering.careers360.com/articles/jee-main-cutoff-for-nit-puducherry/amp
The cut-off for PSG College is not available yet, and so, it cannot be predicted. You can use our College predictor to see your admission possibilities:

Hope this helps!
how many marks should I score to get seat in NIT karaikal and i score 72 percentile in JEE main1 I am obc
As you know that marks are not the basis of your rank so you must believe in scoring as maximum as possible so that you're relatively ahead of others .
NTA has not released its cutoff for this year and after declaration of general as well as category cutoff for clearing you would able to know you probability of getting your dream college and branch.
As previous year cut off for OBC was 74 which says you're not clearing the cutoff but these cutoff may change year after year so don't lose hope but I'll suggest you to pull up your efforts for April attempt and score good percentile.
Thank you hope this helps you.!
