Have a question related to NIT Hamirpur (NITH) ?

how much marks needed in jee mains paper 2 to get in nit hamirpur ? (for OBC)

Hello Greetings

To get into NIT Hamirpur through JEE Mains Paper 2, the marks required vary depending on the course and category. For OBC category, the cutoff ranks for NIT Hamirpur are: *Architecture*: 12832 . Please note that these ranks are based on the JoSAA closing ranks for 2024 and may change for the upcoming year. It's always best to check the official website for the latest updates on cutoffs and admission procedures.

Have a great day

I had entered NIT Hamirpur as my 2nd choice and IIIT L as my third choice. I have got NITH in first round of ccmn, and I checked the Closing rank for IIITL, I was eligible for that as well. i want to go for IIIT L, so will I be able to get IIIT L in the second list or should I pay NITH fees for now.

When filling choices make sure you set your priorities staright because once the choices are locked there is no going back.

Even in subsequent rounds, your alloted institute will move only up your preference list and in NO case shall it move downwards.so it is unlikely you get iiit Lucknow


So, getting a better college in subsequent rounds depends solely on how you fill the choices.

Hello student,

Choosing between Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) at NIT Hamirpur and Mechanical/Civil Engineering at IIT Jammu depends on several factors, including your interests, career goals, and the specific strengths of each institution. Here's a breakdown to help you decide:

1. Interest in the Branch:

  • ECE at NIT Hamirpur: If you're more interested in electronics, communication systems, VLSI design, and telecommunications, ECE is a highly versatile field with opportunities in both hardware and software industries.

  • Mechanical/Civil at IIT Jammu: Mechanical and Civil Engineering are more traditional branches with applications in industries like manufacturing, construction, automotive, and infrastructure development. These branches can offer steady career paths in core sectors but may not have the same tech-industry growth as ECE.

    2. Institution Reputation:

  • NIT Hamirpur: NITs are well-established, and NIT Hamirpur has a solid reputation, particularly for its engineering programs, including ECE.

  • IIT Jammu: Although newer, IIT Jammu carries the "IIT" brand , which is prestigious and can open doors to high-quality academic and career opportunities, even in its early stages.

    3. Future Career Opportunities:

  • ECE (NIT Hamirpur): ECE graduates have diverse career options in IT , telecom , electronics , semiconductors , and networking . The field is growing rapidly due to advancements in technologies like 5G, IoT, and AI.

  • Mechanical/Civil (IIT Jammu): Mechanical and Civil engineers have good opportunities in core industries , government sectors , and infrastructure projects . However, placements may be more stable but not as fast-growing as tech-related fields like ECE.

    4. Placements and Industry Demand:

  • NIT Hamirpur (ECE): ECE typically has good placement rates, often with job offers from tech companies and startups in India and abroad.

  • IIT Jammu (Mech/Civil): While IITs usually have strong placements, newer IITs like IIT Jammu are still building their networks and reputation. Mechanical and Civil branches may see fewer tech company placements but stable offers in core sectors.

    5. Long-term Growth:

  • ECE at NIT Hamirpur: Offers flexibility to move into tech-related industries or even higher studies (MS/MTech) in emerging fields like AI , robotics , or VLSI design .

  • Mech/Civil at IIT Jammu: Provides solid foundations for careers in traditional sectors or higher studies in specialized engineering fields (e.g., energy , infrastructure development ).

    Recommendation:

  • If you're inclined toward technology, innovation, and flexibility in career paths , ECE at NIT Hamirpur may be a better choice.

  • If you're interested in core engineering sectors and value the IIT brand , Mechanical or Civil at IIT Jammu offers you the prestige of IIT and potential growth in core industries.

    Final Tip:

Choose the branch that aligns more with your personal interests and career aspirations, as that will motivate you to excel in the long term.
