Closing ranks: 8,536 – 13,952
These elite NITs — National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, NIT Karnataka, Surathkal, National Institute of Technology, Warangal, and NIT Calicut and others — offer Chemical Engineering (Female-only (including Supernumerary)) accessible only to candidates with JEE Main Category Ranks at or below 14,050. Competition here is among the most intense in Indian engineering admissions. Malaviya NIT Jaipur is showing tightening competition year-over-year — meaning these seats are becoming progressively harder to secure. Notably, National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli and NIT Karnataka, Surathkal and others show an easing trend year-over-year, potentially offering a marginal window for borderline aspirants.
