Hi

I am assuming that you belong to general category and your profile suggests that you are from Odisha so you will be eligible for home state quota in NIT Rourkela

This is a bit difficult to predict the marks/percentile/rank required in JEE mains to get a seat as cut off  keeps changing every year  depending upon various factors like  number of students that appeared in the exam, kind of marks obtained by them , toughness level of the jee main examination , number of seats available for the branch you want etc.

But yes,

When we go through previous year trend then ,

In round 6 of josaa counselling 2020 , 64056 was the closing rank for gender neutral for general category for home state in NIT Rourkela and it was for Life Science (5 Years, Integrated Master of Science)

You can check the same at

https://josaa.nic.in/Result/Result/currentorcr.aspx

And to get around 64056 rank, you need at least around 95 percentile as per our rank predictor at

Hii Aspirant,

On based last year 93.5 percentile in Jee Main Feburary  your rank in general should be around 70k - 78k and your rank in EWS category will be around 10k. Under home state quote you may get a chance to get in Nit Rourkela . Nit Rourkela chances depend on the sit avaliablity also.

Hope it helps!!

Hello MOPURI NIKHITHA REDDY , From some research on internet I found that Yes it is better to take Civil in NIT Rourkela rather than CSE in JNTU Kakinada because NIT is better in all terms like placement, infrastructure and all. Only the problem is fees because NITs fees is about to double from the fees of JNTU Kakinada.

Hope it will be helpful for you :)
