Hi,

The Rank is based on percentile. Percentile depends on Number of students appearing in Exam. For this year, the total number of students appearing is lower than previous year. Due to this, a person has got better rank at same percentile than previous year.

I hope this will solve your query.

Thanks!!!

Does that mean that this year it will be easy to get seat in any NIT?

Kashif Haneef Hi,
No, This doesn't mean that admissions in NIT would be easy. The closing rank for NITs depends on no. Of seats and students applying to that NIT. This year the closing rank is expected to be remain similar like previous year.
Thanks!!!
