How to Predict Your Chances of Admission into IIT, NIT or IIIT or GFTI After JEE Main & Advanced Results – A Step-by-Step Guide

Once the January JEE Main session results are declared, many students and JEE applicants start asking common questions about eligibility for specific institutes (NITs, IIITs, GFTIs, etc.) based on their percentile, category, preferred branch, and home state.

Providing precise admission chances for each student can be challenging. Some reputed educational websites offer ‘College Predictor’ tools where you can check possible college options based on your percentile, category, and preferences. However, for a more accurate understanding, here’s a simple yet effective 9-step method using JoSAA’s past-year opening and closing ranks. This approach gives you a fair estimate (though not 100% exact) of your admission chances based on the previous year’s data.

Step-by-Step Guide to Check Your Admission Chances Using JoSAA Data
Step 1: Collect Your Key Details
Before starting, note down the following details:

Your JEE Main percentile
Your category (General-Open, SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS, PwD categories)
Preferred institute types (NIT, IIIT, GFTI)
Preferred locations (or if you're open to any location in India)
List of at least 3 preferred academic programs (branches) as backups (instead of relying on just one option)
Step 2: Access JoSAA’s Official Opening & Closing Ranks
Go to Google and type: JoSAA Opening & Closing Ranks 2024
Click on the first search result (official JoSAA website).
You will land directly on JoSAA’s portal, where you can enter your details to check past-year cutoffs.
Step 3: Select the Round Number
JoSAA conducts five rounds of counseling.
For a safer estimate, choose Round 4, as most admissions are settled by this round.
Step 4: Choose the Institute Type
Select NIT, IIIT, or GFTI, depending on your preference.
If you are open to all types of institutes, check them one by one instead of selecting all at once.
Step 5: Select the Institute Name (Based on Location)
It is recommended to check institutes one by one, based on your preferred locations.
Avoid selecting ‘ALL’ at once, as it may create confusion.
Step 6: Select Your Preferred Academic Program (Branch)
Enter the branches you are interested in, one at a time, in your preferred order.
Step 7: Submit and Analyze Results
After selecting the relevant details, click the ‘SUBMIT’ button.
The system will display Opening & Closing Ranks of the selected institute and branch for different categories.
Step 8: Note Down the Opening & Closing Ranks
Maintain a notebook or diary to record the Opening & Closing Ranks for each institute and branch you are interested in.
This will serve as a quick reference during JoSAA counseling.
Step 9: Adjust Your Expectations on a Safer Side
Since Opening & Closing Ranks fluctuate slightly each year, always adjust the numbers for safety.
Example Calculation:
If the Opening & Closing Ranks for NIT Delhi | Mechanical Engineering | OPEN Category show 8622 & 26186 (for Home State), consider adjusting them to 8300 & 23000 (on a safer side).
If the Female Category rank is 34334 & 36212, adjust it to 31000 & 33000.
Follow this approach for Other State candidates and different categories.
Pro Tip: Adjust your expected rank slightly lower than the previous year's cutoffs for realistic expectations during JoSAA counseling.

Can This Method Be Used for JEE April & JEE Advanced?
Yes! You can repeat the same steps after your April JEE Main results to refine your admission possibilities.
You can also follow a similar process for JEE Advanced cutoffs when applying for IITs.

Ans: IIEST Shibpur’s Computer Science & Technology programme operates inside an Institute of National Importance with NAAC?A accreditation, NBA status and a steady NIRF engineering rank of 49; its 2024 placement report shows 83.7 percent of CSE students placed and 144 recruiters—including Google and Microsoft—visiting the 114-acre campus. NIT Karnataka (Surathkal) carries the highest institutional stature among the alternatives, holding NIRF engineering rank 17 and overall rank 46, supported by robust research centres, coastal safety initiatives and an 83.59 percent mechanical placement rate in 2024, yet its mechanical branch naturally channels graduates toward core manufacturing rather than booming digital sectors. NIT Calicut combines a #25 NIRF engineering rank with 97.01 percent EEE placement and strong industry labs, benefitting from Kerala’s high female safety index and newly expanded hostel surveillance. NIT Goa is younger, ranked within the 101-150 NIRF band, but its compact campus delivers 88.6 percent ECE placement, women-only wardens and 24 × 7 security; limited alumni depth and developing research output temper its appeal. NIT Durgapur sits at NIRF 44 engineering yet ECE placement settled at 64.95 percent in 2024 after a multiyear slide, and eastern industrial slowdown has widened the gap between circuit branches and top-tier software roles. Across colleges, all five satisfy AICTE norms, internal complaints committees and woman-centric hostel protocols mandated by UGC 2015, but Kolkata’s metro connectivity and Howrah’s civic infrastructure give IIEST the strongest urban safety network. Considering national reputation, graduation outcomes, placement breadth, campus safety and research ecosystems, the optimal sequence aligns with employability upside first, followed by institutional heft: IIEST Shibpur CSE, NIT Surathkal Mechanical, NIT Calicut EEE, NIT Goa ECE, NIT Durgapur ECE.

Recommendation: Choose IIEST Shibpur CSE for its superior placement percentage, metropolitan support services and evergreen software career routes; list NIT Surathkal, NIT Calicut, NIT Goa and NIT Durgapur subsequently to balance institutional ranking, branch versatility and campus safety, ensuring long-term flexibility even without a fixed subject passion. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
