Dear Student,

50% of the places in each NIT are reserved for students from the home state, and the remaining 50% are open to students from around India.

Your home state for the purposes of the admissions procedure is the location (State) where you complete your class 12 education. One must have completed class 12 in Maharashtra in order to enrol in the Maharashtra State.

Therefore, 50% of the available seats at Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology, Nagpur, are open to Maharashtra candidates with strong JEE Mains (formerly AIEEE) rankings.
