    • Opening Rank: Usually around 1-3k for CSE (Computer Science Engineering).

    • Closing Rank: Usually around 5-10k for CSE.

  2. Mid-Tier NITs (like NIT Jaipur, NIT Rourkela):

    • Opening Rank: Typically ranges from 3-10k for popular branches.

For NIT Durgapur , the cutoffs are lower for home-state candidates in some branches. Based on previous years' trends, here are your chances:

Some lower branches:

Metallurgical and Materials Engineering

  • Home State Cutoff (OBC-NCL): ~90-92 percentile
  • Home State Cutoff (EWS/General): ~91-93 percentile
  • You may have a chance here, especially in later rounds or CSAB Special Rounds.

Biotechnology

  • Cutoffs tend to be lower; you have a fair chance of getting this branch.

Production Engineering

  • Marginal chance in initial rounds, but the likelihood improves during CSAB Special Rounds.

you stand a decent chance of getting lower-demand branches like Metallurgical, Biotechnology, or Production Engineering at NIT Durgapur under home-state quota. Ensure you participate in all rounds of counseling and CSAB Special Rounds to maximize your chances.

Hi

It will depend more on your category rank, your chances of getting into NIT Durgapur or other NITs/IIITs with a JEE Mains percentile of 78, it will depend on the specific cutoffs for those institutions in the current admission cycle.

Typically, NITs have varying cutoffs for different branches and categories. For SC candidates, the cutoffs tend to be lower than for the general category, but they can still vary significantly.

As of the most recent admission cycles, the closing ranks for various branches for the SC category were generally around:

  • Computer Science and Engineering: Around 5000-6000
  • Electronics and Communication Engineering: Around 7000-8000
  • Mechanical Engineering: Around 9000-11000
  • Civil Engineering: Around 12000-14000

you may also see on your side what cutoff are for this year

You cannot submit your OBC NCL certificate is from Bihar in nit Durgapur ,you can still avail the home state quota benefits in NIT Durgapur under the OBC category if your state of eligibility is West Bengal; you just need to ensure your certificate is valid and recognized by the West Bengal government for admission purposes.

Obtain a obc certificate from west bengal government if both states have same eligibility criteria and ensure you must fulfill it.

Hi!

When comparing NIT Durgapur and MANIT Bhopal, several factors come into play:

1. Placement: NIT Durgapur generally has better placement statistics, especially for CSE and mechanical branches, with average packages around 11 LPA. In contrast, MANIT Bhopal has an average package of approximately 7.57 LPA.

2. Reputation: Both institutes are recognized as Institutes of National Importance, established in 1960, and offer quality engineering education. However, NIT Durgapur is often regarded slightly higher in terms of overall performance and placement opportunities.


3. Coding Culture: MANIT Bhopal has been developing a strong coding culture recently, which may benefit students interested in software-related fields


In summary, if placement and average salary are your primary concerns, NIT Durgapur may be the better choice. However, consider your specific program and interests as well.



See there are no boundaries for females, regarding Mining. So if you want to go for the mining then there is no problem being a female candidate. Now CSE in NIT DURGAPUR is quite good but the exposure to the field you will get in IIT KGP will be far more fetched. The teachers as well as the environment you will get will be far better than what you will experience at NIT Durgapur. Although the CSE is one of the most employable fields so you can go for it. But personally the environment IIT's provide the students, actually gives them the rigor to get a personality and stress management.

Now I would recommend you to choose which one you feel like but if you go for IIT's then also you can participate in different placements for CSE as well . So apart from the subject there is not a huge difference in terms of career establishment.

All the classes are smart classrooms, and we have a huge central library with free Wi-Fi. The labs are well-facilitated with good computers and a super-fast network. Our college itself is well known for quality food. However, the hostels are just okay. The value for money in the hostels is poor, but the food and other amenities provided are valuable for the given money.
