Thanks sir, it means with a valid score I can get into nit warangal. Home state rule of 50% quota for telangana is not applicable. Kindly correct me if wrong.

Ans: Thanks for contacting me again. Sorry to say, due to a typing mistake, there was miscommunication with you.
I apologize for my previous reply to your query. I have corrected the previous answer. Pl go through it again.

Here I clarified again:
In NIT admissions, the Home State Quota is indeed applicable. Here's how it works: 50% Home State Quota: In every NIT, 50% of the seats are reserved for students who have domicile in the state where the NIT is located. These students are eligible for admission under the Home State Quota. 50% Other State Quota: The remaining 50% of seats are for students from other states, based on their All India Rank (AIR) in the JEE Main.

I again apologize for my previous reply to your query.

If you are dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.
If satisfied, please like and follow me.
Thanks

Hello Sir, I am from bihar state and belong to obc-ncl however I have completed my education from 6th to 12th in hyderabad. I am planning for IIT? Can I avail my reservation to secure seat in IIT? Heard for NIT home state belongs to state where you have completed 12th so Can I get nit seats within telangana? Thanks
Ans: Hi Alam

To get admission in any B.Tech. course in a particular college of the state, the candidate must have cleared his 12th from that state only. (applicable to state-level CAP rounds and counseling only)

You said you have completed the 12th from Hyderabad. It is not clear whether you have appeared for JEE or not. To opt for a seat in IIT, one should clear JEE (Adv).
You can avail reservation in IIT admission.

In NIT admissions, the Home State Quota is indeed applicable. Here's how it works:

50% Home State Quota: In every NIT, 50% of the seats are reserved for students who have domicile in the state where the NIT is located. These students are eligible for admission under the Home State Quota.

50% Other State Quota: The remaining 50% of seats are for students from other states, based on their All India Rank (AIR) in the JEE Main.

While the JEE Main score is the key factor for selection, the Home State Quota improves the chances of admission for students applying from their home state. This quota system applies to all NITs across India.

If you are dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.
If satisfied, please like and follow me.
Thanks

General candidate with 93.6 percentile . Can get admission to NIT Warangal?
Ans: Alpa, How to Predict Your Chances of Admission into NIT-Warrangal or any other NITs or IIIT or GFTI After JEE Main Results – A Step-by-Step Guide for you.

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.
