Closing ranks: 3,282 – 16,412
These elite NITs — National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, NIT Karnataka, Surathkal, National Institute of Technology, Warangal, and National Institute of Technology, Rourkela and others — offer Electronics & Communication Engineering (Gender-Neutral) accessible only to candidates with JEE Main Category Ranks at or below 16,595. Competition here is among the most intense in Indian engineering admissions. National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli and National Institute of Technology, Warangal and others are showing tightening competition year-over-year — meaning these seats are becoming progressively harder to secure. Notably, Malaviya NIT Jaipur shows an easing trend year-over-year, potentially offering a marginal window for borderline aspirants.
