96.022 % in General category: Can I get into an NIT, Raj?

Ans: Hi
your estimated rank can be 60,000–70,000, it is significantly higher than the closing ranks for all branches at MNIT Jaipur for the EWS Other State category in 2024. Therefore, it is unlikely that you would secure admission to any branch at MNIT Jaipur under the current circumstances.

Ans: At a 95.18 percentile in JEE Main (approximate All-India rank ~73,000), MNIT Jaipur’s Home-State OBC-NCL female closing ranks across popular B.Tech branches are far lower: CSE—3,086; ECE—5,587; EE—7,775; Civil—10,828; Chemical Eng—10,549; Mechanical Eng—9,352; Metallurgical Eng—16,416. These cutoffs indicate that seats under the Rajasthan state quota for OBC-NCL female candidates close well above her estimated rank, making MNIT Jaipur admission under that quota highly unlikely.

Recommendation:
Explore the All-India (Other-State) quota or alternative NITs with higher closing ranks (e.g., NIT Meghalaya, NIT Agartala) from 2024 JoSAA Data, consider state government colleges such as Rajasthan Technical University Ajmer or Government Engineering College, and evaluate private institutions in Rajasthan with reserved OBC-NCL seats to secure a suitable B.Tech programme. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: With an OBC-NCL rank of 30,000 in JEE Main 2025, securing admission to MNIT Jaipur is challenging but not impossible, particularly with your female and Rajasthan domicile status. MNIT Jaipur's home state (HS) OBC-NCL cutoffs for 2024 typically ranged from 2,000-13,000 across various engineering branches, with core branches like CSE closing around 2,184 and Civil Engineering at 10,919. Your rank of 30,000 falls beyond these cutoffs, making direct admission difficult. However, your female quota provides an advantage, as OBC-NCL female seats historically have different cutoffs. Among NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs accessible through CSAB counselling with your rank, strong options include NIT Mizoram (OBC-NCL closing ranks around 16,000-18,000), NIT Sikkim (accepting ranks up to 20,000-25,000), NIT Agartala (OBC-NCL cutoffs around 20,000-25,000), IIIT Bhagalpur (OBC-NCL CSE closing around 28,000-30,000), IIIT Dharwad (OBC-NCL cutoffs around 25,000-35,000), IIIT Kottayam (OBC-NCL closing around 12,000-15,000), IIIT Manipur (OBC-NCL ranks extending to 30,000+), IIIT Raichur (OBC-NCL around 25,000-30,000), and select GFTIs like BIT Deoghar off-campus and Assam University Silchar.

Recommendation While MNIT Jaipur admission is unlikely with your current rank, focus on CSAB counselling for excellent alternatives: prioritize IIIT Bhagalpur CSE, IIIT Dharwad CSE, and NIT Mizoram for solid technical education with your OBC-NCL and female quotas maximizing admission chances. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
