[Note: These are predictions from previous years' data. This year's cutoffs have not been released yet.]

[Cutoffs and ranks depend on various factors like:

  1. Number of Candidates.
  2. Performance in exam.
  3. Difficulty of exam.]

See, the true reality is that the National Institute of Technologies (NITs) which are situated in the North-East of our country (Assam, Sikkim, Mizoram, Meghalaya etc.) they do not have a very impressive infrastructure, and many labs are make-shift labs with no permanent construction.

So, yes it is true that you'll have to go to IIT KGP for some things but that's perfectly fine. Being an NIT, it will always uplift your CV no matter what, so I think that you should definitely go for it!
