OBC Candidate Seeking Minimum Percentile for CSE Admission in any IIIT

Ans: With 83.92 percentile (OBC category) in JEE Mains, getting CSE in top NITs/IIITs is difficult, but you might have chances in lower NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs in later rounds or spot rounds.

Ans: I would suggest all of you the following steps to know the chances of getting admission into IIIT-Nagpur for CSE Branch, based on last year's data. Please note, you will get a fair idea based on the last year's data (not an accurate idea). Now, here are the simple and most effective steps:


STEP 1: Just type in Google, 'JoSAA Opening & Closing Ranks 2024'. Click the 1st Result. You will land directly into the JoSAA's Website that too into the window where you can put the inputs based on what you would like to know about IIIT-Nagpur.

STEP 2: 1st it asks for Round Number as around 5 rounds are held in JoSAA's Counselling Process. I suggest you, choose the 4th Round option on safer side.

STEP 3: Choose the Institute (IIIT-Nagpur) & the Category you belong to.

STEP 4: Fill in the Academic Program (i.e. CSE which about you need to know).

STEP 5: After choosing the right options, applicable to you, click SUBMIT button.

You will get the opening and closing ranks, based on your options chosen by you.

STEP 6: If you would like to now the details of other branches / institutes, you can follow the same above steps.

STEP 7: MOST IMPORTANT: On SAFER SIDE, consider the Opening & Closing Ranks litter lesser than that of 2024 as the same fluctuates every year but not significantly.

Let me explain with an example. Assume, you have filled in as follows. Round 4 | NIT | NIT-Delhi | Mechanical Engineering | OPEN Category, the output of which shows Opening & Closing Ranks as '8622 & 26186' for HOME STATE Open Category. You should consider as / change to '8300 & 23000' (on a safer side). Let us take into consideration the Female Category for the same. Opening & Closing Rank shows '34334 & 36212'. You change it to '31000 & 33000' (on a safer side). Based on this example, you can change accordingly for OTHER STATES & your Category.

As already mentioned, Opening & Closing Ranks vary every year but not significantly, as such, suggested to change the same to lesser number and note down in your diary or in a separate note-book for quick reference while participating in JoSAA's Counselling Process.

You can follow the same steps for your JEE-April session & JEE-Advanced too.

Hope, you have thoroughly understood the above explained in a very simple and very easy-to-understand language.

I suggest you score more and more rather than can considering the minimum marks or rank. To get admission to top tier 1 NITs, one should aim to score around 98 percentile for sure shot admission. The cut-off varies year by year. Hence instead of sticking on previous years ' offs, one should score more to be in the safe zone always. Hope you will also think in the same way. Thanks
