NIT Eligibility

NITs do not have lateral entry admission provision for Diploma holders.

Hello Hasnain,
With only 108 marks in JEE Mains, you would have cleared cutoff but still long way off towards getting admission. Remember marks are out of possible 360.

Hi Harsh,
I believe your query has been answered previously by Vikram Soni. You must have an overall score of 75%. Please also refer to the answer he provided and follow the advice.

Hello Rahul,
Presently NIT, Jalandhar is not considered a top college. Due to this, opening as well as closing ranks are quite relaxed. I feel that the minimum marks would be 200+. But may I ask why are you asking the minimum marks? You should dream of getting into IIT and that too of your choice. Once you have a dream, you should surely work towards it.
Best wishes.

You need to score around 220-230 in IIT-Mains to get admission in VNIT - Nagpur. A good score in IIT-Mains is good enough to get a seat in any NIT, even if you fail to qualify in IIT - Advanced.

There is no preferred criteria. Both the criteria are valid, you need to fall under any of the two to be eligible for the IITs and the NITs.

Hello Adeeb,
The eligibility for appearing for JEE Mains us to have 75 percent or more in 12th. But if you have less than this, you are simply not eligible & hence further questions do not arise.

You can get into NITs by scoring more than 160 marks in JEE Mains and 75% in 12th boards.

Hello Saurabh,
Just getting into any NIT is no big deal. If I go by previous year's data there is unbelievable huge variation in AIR's of students who got admission in same NIT. This year, even though AIR will be decided only on marks obtained in JEE Mains, I do not expect pattern to change. So, do not worry about getting into any NIT but think of getting good marks in JEE Mains which will enable you to get admission in your desired NIT.

Hello Chintan,
First, you have to be eligible to appear for JEE Mains. Once you appear in this exam, it will decide your chances of admission in NIT. You must score minimum of 75% marks in class 12th or have to be in top 20 percentile. This will enable you to appear for JEE Mains.
