Which NIT can I get with a 45000 rank?

With a 45,000 rank in JEE Advanced, securing admission to top NITs (National Institutes of Technology) for highly competitive branches like Computer Science Engineering (CSE) or Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) may be challenging. However, you still have a chance to get admission to some NITs and lesser-known branches.

Here’s a breakdown of NITs where you might have a chance with a 45,000 rank:

1. NITs You Could Target (for Non-Competitive Branches)

• NITs in Less-Competitive Locations: You can look at NITs in states or regions where the demand for admission is lower. These NITs tend to have higher closing ranks.
• Branches: With a 45,000 rank, you are likely to get admission to branches like Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, or Industrial Engineering in many of these NITs.

Some NITs to Consider:

• NIT Durgapur
• NIT Jamshedpur
• NIT Raipur
• NIT Nagaland
• NIT Manipur
• NIT Arunachal Pradesh
• NIT Mizoram
• NIT Meghalaya
• NIT Agartala
• NIT Uttarakhand
• NIT Patna

2. Home State Quota

• If you are applying for an NIT in your home state, the seat allocation may be more favorable. Many NITs offer a 50% home state quota, which could make it easier for you to secure a seat compared to candidates from other states.

3. Branch Preferences

• Popular Branches: For highly demanded branches like CSE, ECE, or EE, a rank of 45,000 may not be sufficient in the top NITs.
• Less Competitive Branches: You might have a better chance with Civil, Chemical, Metallurgical, or Textile Engineering at these NITs.

4. Counseling Rounds

• In the later rounds of JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) counseling, as the top seats get filled, you may have a better chance of securing admission to these branches in the NITs mentioned above.

5. Category Consideration

• If you belong to a reserved category (OBC, SC, ST, EWS), your chances of getting admission improve due to reservation policies in NITs. The cut-offs for reserved categories are generally much lower than for the general category, so a 45,000 rank could potentially get you into better NITs and branches.

6. Alternate Options

• Private Engineering Colleges: You might also want to consider private universities or institutions with a good reputation, like BITS Pilani, VIT Vellore, SRM Institute of Science and Technology, or UPES Dehradun. These institutions may have different admission criteria and could offer better opportunities, even if your rank isn’t sufficient for top NITs.
