Hello Arpit,

To get into an NIT, a general rule of thumb is to aim for a percentile of around 90-95 or above. For popular branches in top NITs, a percentile above 97 is usually safer. However, the exact percentile required depends on the specific NIT, the branch, and your category. Lower-ranked NITs or less competitive branches may have cutoffs around 85-90 percentile, especially for reserved categories.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries then feel free to share your questions with us we will be happy to assist you.

Hello aspirant,

Candidates must be in the top percentile for their chosen college and specialism in order to be admitted to NITs. In order to be considered for NIT seats, candidates typically need to have a percentile between 85 and 95.

If you are from general category, then you need to score 95 percentile.

Thank you

Hope it helps you.

If you want to get into a good NIT with your preferred branch, you should aim for a percentile above 97.5% in JEE mains as this is the only entrance exam of nit for High cutoff branches like computer science and electronics engineering.However, you may need to compromise on your branch selection if your percentile is above 96%. But below 97.5 parcentage.

To get into NITs , candidates should have an average of between 85-95 percentile. But you need to try to  score  high percentile so that you can get prestigious NITs without comprising the branch .

The competition is increasing .every year number of candidates is increasing ,and seats are not increasing at that rate, so to get the branch of your choice,try to score high percentile with a good rank .
