Can i get a seat in Electrical Engineering in NIT Rourkela in 27,000 Rank under General Home State Quota ?

It depends upon the JEE Main and JEE Advance cut offs, If You manage to qualify the exam by achieving the cut off, You can apply for JOSAA Counselling. It should be noted the cut off for EWS/SC/ST/FEMALES/OBC category is lower than the general category

If you manage to qualify JEE Main Cutoff, You would be eligible for JEE Advance which is the intake exam for IITs as mentioned above.


However It is usually advised to fill the choices as per the preference of colleges and departments, for example CSE in NIT Trichy is your priority followed by CSE in NIT Warangal, you can fill CSE at NIT Trichy at serial number 1 and CSE at NIT Warangal at serial number 2 and so on and so forth. However to get any NIT, you must have qualified JEE Mains and to get any IIT, you must have qualifies JEE Advanced

But the previous cut offs of colleges should be taken in consideration, it is better to research over the cut off of colleges then make a preference list of colleges and fill accordingly

Hi Soumya,

Are you a boy or a girl?

I am confused by your name, but if you are a girl then you have good chance to get NIT Rourkela Electrical branch seat as last year the for a general female candidate of homestate the closing rank for Electrical branch was 37009.

Now that you have 27,000 rank then you have good chance to get it.

You can check the cutoff of NIT Rourkela in detail by going through the link below.

However if you are a boy then unfortunately you may not get the seat of Electrical branch in NIT Rourkela as last year(2020) the closing rank for a male general homestate candidate was 18831.
