    Have a question related to NIT Raipur ?

    I got category rank 2428 ST . can i get nit raipur cse or ece. If not what are the alternatives.

    Hi,


    First of all, congratulations on your rank. It is a pretty decent category rank. Now, cutoffs change every year based on a few factors which are as follows -


    • Number of applicants

    • Number of candidates appeared in the exam

    • Difficulty of JEE Advanced 2022

    • Total number of seats available at NIT Raipur

    • Previous year cutoff trends

    • Category of students


    If we go by NIT Raipur 2021 cutoff then, closing rank for Computer Science and engineering for ST category (other state quota) was 2586. And your rank is 2428, so you have a fair chance of getting CSE if cutoffs follow last year's trend.


    Now for Electronics and Communication, closing rank was 1318, so unless cutoffs are eased a bit this year, your chance of getting ECE are slightly less.


    I hope that was helpful.

    How are the research facilities in the CS / IT branch in NIT Raipur?? I want to develop projects with faculties is nit raipur good in this case??

    Hello,

    Hope you are doing well. NIT Raipur has built itself a good name by providing cutting-edge research with global standards. There are several sponsored projects supported by the funding agencies like DRDO, DST, DeitY, Space Application Centre (SAC- ISRO), CSIR, CPRI, MNRE, ICMR, RDE, CCOST, and  various other Ministries of Govt. of India. The other Govt./non-Govt. organizations, industries and international funding agencies like State Council of Education Research & Training Raipur, Human Settlement Management Institute, CECB, Revenue & Disaster Management Dept., BALCO, Royal Academy of Engineering, UK  DST (India-Taiwan), NMDC, NSU, NCSU, USA Partnership Program, etc., have also contributed to sponsored research over the years. Important consultancy projects with agencies like NMDC, CPW, BALCO, PWD,   are also undertaken across different departments of the Institute. A record 820 articles were publihed with NIT Raipur affiliation. It is fair to say NIT Raipur is good in this case.

    All the best!

    sir/mam which is better nit raipur Or iiest shibpur for mechanical engineering??

    hlwo aspirant

    hope you are doing well

    . both colleges are equally good in terms of academics. The faculty is well-qualified and cooperative in both NIT raipur and IIEST Shibpur with a slight difference.

    As per the NIT Raipur placements BTech course in Computer Science & Engineering is best because of the maximum number of offers. so if you are interested in cs then go for nit raipur

    if you are interested in research then IIEST Shibpur is best for you. But lastly, your efforts to develop skills in yourself matter immensely, as you are the only person who needs to do hard work. If you do not then even the best college in the country would not help. .

    IIEST was always among the top Institutes proving excellent education in engineering

    IIEST Shibpur receives similar funding as compared to IIT's which is 40% more than NIT raipur. The campus of Shibpur is much cleaner and greener and the crowd is also better. The hostels of Shibpur are much better than rai pur. Placements are more or less similar in both colleges.

    so I'll suggest you to go in iiest shibpur for mechanical engineering. .

    hope this helps you

    all the very best for your upcoming future
