All India / Other State (OS/AI) Quota — EWS Rank 5,000–7,500

These cutoffs apply to candidates who are NOT domiciled in the institute's home state, and to all candidates for IITs (AI quota). If you do not qualify for Home State quota at a listed NIT, the OS closing rank is the benchmark for your eligibility.

Home State (HS) Quota — EWS Rank 5,000–7,500

These cutoffs apply ONLY to candidates who are domiciles of the state where the NIT is located. HS closing ranks are consistently more accessible than OS closing ranks at the same institute. If you qualify for HS quota at any NIT listed here, your effective eligibility is significantly wider.

How it works: JoSAA reserves approximately 50% of NIT seats under Home State quota for candidates domiciled in the institute's state. A candidate with a EWS rank at the upper end of the 5,000–7,500 band may be out of contention under OS quota but comfortably inside the HS closing rank at the same NIT. Always include both the HS and OS entries for the same college in your choice list.

Which of These Colleges Is Safest for Rank 5,000–7,500?

Tier boundaries computed against your band midpoint (6,250) using Round 6 final closing rank data. Lower rank number = more competitive.

National / Other State Quota — Tier Analysis

This analysis applies to candidates competing under OS (Other State) or AI (All India) quota — the benchmark for any candidate who is not a domicile of the listed institute's home state.

Safe Allotment (High Probability)

Tier 1 — High Probability Colleges for Rank 5,000–7,500 (OS)

Colleges where the final closing rank is at least 400+ above the band midpoint (6,250) under OS/AI quota

No colleges in the 5,000–7,500 band have a historical closing rank that makes them definitively safe for the full range under OS/AI quota. Candidates at the lower end of this band may find borderline programs accessible with a comfortable margin.

Borderline (Coin-Flip Zone)

Tier 2 — Borderline Colleges (Your Rank is In the Mix) (OS)

Colleges where the band midpoint (6,250) falls within ±400 of the final closing rank under OS/AI quota

IIIT Bhopal IIIT (IIIT) Una, Himachal Pradesh NIT , Mizoram IIIT (IIIT) Kottayam IIIT (IIIT) Una, Himachal Pradesh Indian institute of information technology, Raichur, Karnataka IIIT (IIIT) Ranchi IIIT (IIIT) Una, Himachal Pradesh Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi NIT Nagaland IIIT Design & Manufacturing Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh International Institute of Information Technology, Bhubaneswar IIIT , Vadodara International Campus Diu (IIITVICD) IIIT (IIIT) Ranchi International Institute of Information Technology, Bhubaneswar IIIT (IIIT) Kottayam IIIT (IIIT) Kottayam IIIT (IIIT) Kalyani, West Bengal University of Hyderabad IIIT (IIIT) Dharwad IIIT Bhagalpur IIIT , Agartala IIIT (IIIT) Kalyani, West Bengal IIIT (IIIT) Kalyani, West Bengal Institute of Infrastructure, Technology, Research and Management-Ahmedabad Birla Institute of Technology, Patna Off-Campus J.K.

Institute of Applied Physics & Technology, Department of Electronics & Communication, University of Allahabad- Allahabad, National Institute of Electronics and Information Technology, Aurangabad (Maharashtra) are where most candidates in the 5,000–7,500 range will be competing under OS/AI quota for Computer Science & Software Engineering. The final-round closing rank is the most predictive indicator for this zone — always plan against final-round data rather than Round 1. Your choice-filling order is decisive here.

Reach (Lower Probability, Worth Including)

Tier 3 — Reach Colleges (Include But Don't Anchor On) (OS)

Colleges where the opening rank under OS/AI quota is above the band midpoint (6,250)

No colleges are in the Reach zone for the 5,000–7,500 band. All listed programs sit within the Safe or Borderline range.

Home State Quota — Where Domicile Creates a Strategic Advantage

For candidates domiciled in the state of a listed NIT, the HS quota unlocks a more accessible tier of cutoffs at the same institute. This section highlights where Home State status changes the tier classification within the 5,000–7,500 band.

Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur under HS quota (final closing rank 5,028) is within this rank band for West Bengal domiciles, even though its OS closing rank falls outside this range entirely. NIT , Uttarakhand under HS quota (final closing rank 5,198) is within this rank band for Uttarakhand domiciles, even though its OS closing rank falls outside this range entirely. NIT Raipur under HS quota (final closing rank 5,952) is within this rank band for Chhattisgarh domiciles, even though its OS closing rank falls outside this range entirely. NIT Hamirpur under HS quota (final closing rank 6,591) is within this rank band for Himachal Pradesh domiciles, even though its OS closing rank falls outside this range entirely. Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra, Ranchi under HS quota (final closing rank 6,743) is within this rank band for Jharkhand domiciles, even though its OS closing rank falls outside this range entirely. NIT Calicut under HS quota (final closing rank 7,037) is within this rank band for Kerala domiciles, even though its OS closing rank falls outside this range entirely.
