Your options may be wider

  • Home State quota: half the seats at every NIT are for students from that state, and they usually close at much higher ranks.
  • Category seats: EWS, OBC-NCL, SC and ST seats close on category ranks.
  • Female-only seats: supernumerary seats for female candidates close at noticeably higher ranks.

Add these details in the college predictor for your exact list. Closing ranks change every year, so treat this as a shortlist, not a guarantee.

FAQs
