Closing ranks: 272 – 1,830
These elite NITs — National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, NIT Karnataka, Surathkal, National Institute of Technology, Rourkela, and National Institute of Technology, Warangal and others — offer Computer Science & Software Engineering (Gender-Neutral) accessible only to candidates with JEE Main Category Ranks at or below 1,961. Competition here is among the most intense in Indian engineering admissions. National Institute of Technology, Rourkela and NIT Calicut 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 NIT Karnataka, Surathkal and others show an easing trend year-over-year, potentially offering a marginal window for borderline aspirants.
