Tier 1 — Elite NITs (Closing Rank Below 8,594)
These elite NITs — National Institute of Technology, Rourkela, Malaviya NIT Jaipur, NIT Delhi, and Motilal Nehru NIT Allahabad and others — offer Electrical Engineering (Female-only (including Supernumerary)) accessible only to candidates with JEE Main Category Ranks at or below 8,594. Competition here is among the most intense in Indian engineering admissions. Motilal Nehru NIT Allahabad and NIT Raipur and others are showing tightening competition year-over-year — meaning these seats are becoming progressively harder to secure. Notably, Malaviya NIT Jaipur and NIT Delhi and others show an easing trend year-over-year, potentially offering a marginal window for borderline aspirants.
