Based on the previous year analysis, According to your JEE MAINS 2025 Rank and category you don't have any chances to get a seat in NIT Calicut.

Hope this information will help you

Hello aspirant,

With 86.45 percentile in JEE Main 2025 and SC category , your expected rank would be around 55,000–60,000 (CRL) and 4,000–5,000 (SC rank) .

For NIT Calicut (CS branch) , the SC category closing rank in previous years was around 1,500–2,000 . Since your SC rank might be above 4,000 , getting CSE at NIT Calicut seems difficult . However, you may get other branches like Civil, Chemical, or Mechanical .

Advice : Wait for official cutoffs, check CS in newer NITs or other top GFTIs.


I would recommend you to use JEE Mains College Predictor Tool by Careers360 to get the list of possible colleges you can get with your rank.


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.
