NIT Hamirpur - National Institute of Technology Answered Questions

The following NITs are ranked better than CUSAT: Trichy, Warangal, Calicut, Rourkela, Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology (MNNIT), Durgapur, Jamshedpur, Kurukshetra, Jalandhar, Patna, Silchar and Hamirpur. It is obvious that CUSAT is not better than these NITs but it is not a bad choice if one can't get admission into any NITs.

Since there is no previous data to look upon regarding JEE Mains rank without considering board marks, I cannot exactly tell you the marks that you will need to get into VNIT Nagpur. I can give you the cut-offs, which are all either below 1000 or below 1500 in case of CSE branch and OBC Other State quota. But even so it is safe to assume that you will have to easily score above 250 in JEE Mains to have an AIR of 1000.

It would be safe to assume that 140 marks would mean a rank around 35k-40k. I am taking the upper bound to ensure the worst case scenario. If you want to aim for computer science and engineering branch only, then there is a very slim chance that you would be able to get into any NIT directly. You would have to opt for internal shuffling which comes with the obvious risk of getting stuck with a branch that you don't want. If you decide on another branch that you would like to pursue, then maybe you can get an NIT.

I don't think that you can get admission in NIT Hamiprur through Management Quota as it is usually for the self-funded private colleges only and not for government funded colleges. Management quota is not available in NIT Hamirpur. Hence you cannot get admission here by management quota.

After locking the choices, you have to wait for the results of the rounds to come out one by one. When the results come out, you'll be notified by the CSAB system if you have gotten a seat in one of the colleges that you have filled in the choices for, and it will be according to the priority you have given the colleges. Once you get allotted a seat, you'll have to go the nearest reporting center to book that seat or neglect it and move on to the next round. And yes, if you don't get the seat that you want in a round, you can sack that seat and wait for a seat to be allotted in the subsequent round.
