Closing ranks: 252 – 1,795
These elite NITs — National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, National Institute of Technology, Warangal, NIT Karnataka, Surathkal, and National Institute of Technology, Rourkela and others — offer Computer Science & Software Engineering (Gender-Neutral) accessible only to candidates with JEE Main Category Ranks at or below 1,994. Competition here is among the most intense in Indian engineering admissions. National Institute of Technology, Warangal and National Institute of Technology, Rourkela and others are showing tightening competition year-over-year — meaning these seats are becoming progressively harder to secure. Notably, National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli and Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology, Surat and others show an easing trend year-over-year, potentially offering a marginal window for borderline aspirants.
