Which NITs Are Realistic for Your Rank? Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering OPEN Tier Analysis

Elite

Tier 1 — Elite NITs (Closing Rank Below 23,148)

Closing ranks: 7,858 – 22,911

These elite NITs — National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, NIT Karnataka, Surathkal, Motilal Nehru NIT Allahabad, and National Institute of Technology, Warangal and others — offer Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering (Gender-Neutral) accessible only to candidates with JEE Main Category Ranks at or below 23,148. Competition here is among the most intense in Indian engineering admissions. National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli and NIT Karnataka, Surathkal and others are showing tightening competition year-over-year — meaning these seats are becoming progressively harder to secure. Notably, National Institute of Technology, Kurukshetra shows an easing trend year-over-year, potentially offering a marginal window for borderline aspirants.
