NIT Raipur JEE Main Cutoff 2026 (Expected)

NIT Raipur’s JEE Main cutoff 2026 anticipates a clear variation across branches, with CSE, IT, and ECE recording the most competitive closing ranks. General category cutoffs are likely to remain the tightest, led by CSE at 13,800, while branches such as Biotechnology, Biomedical, and Mining close at higher ranks above 54,000. OBC and SC categories can see comparatively relaxed cutoffs, with OBC ranks ranging from 4,500 in CSE to 15,300 in Biomedical Engineering, and SC ranks stretching from 2,700 in CSE to 10,800 in Biomedical. Overall, the table reflects a steady rise in competition for top specialisations and more accessible ranks in core and emerging branches.

  • Core branches like Mechanical allow entry up to 38,000 ranks.
  • OBC cutoffs fall 20-30 percent below General for all specialisations.
  • SC ranks provide wider access, often double the General figures.

Dear student,

With your score of 10720 in NIMCET, it seems difficult for you to get admission in any of the NITs. The top NITs like Trichy, Surathkal, Warangal, Allahabad usually close admissions for the General category within the top 50-300 ranks. Even for reserved categories, the ranks typically do not extend into five digits.

For other participating NITs like Bhopal, Jamshedpur, Kurukshetra, Patna, Raipur, Agartala generally remain within the top 1000-2000 for the General/OBC-NCL categories. For SC/ST categories, some may go up to 4000-8000, but 10720 is still a very difficult rank to get into any of the participating NITs.

Unfortunately, with an All India Rank of 10720, your chances of getting admission into any of the NIMCET participating NITs (National Institutes of Technology) is highly unlikely for the MCA programme. Based on previous years' cut-off trends, it will be difficulut for you to get a seat even if you belong to the reserved categories basis last year's trend. The competition is extremely high for these limited seats (around 800-1000 seats across all NITs).

You can try for other universities like AKTU, GGSIPU, HBTU, UoH and state government aided universities. You might need to appear for state exams like MAH MCA CET for Maharashtra, OJEE for Odisha, PGCET for Karnataka, etc. for admission to state universities.

JoSAA eligibility requires 2025 requires a passing grade in all the subjects in your Class 12 (or equivalent) examination. While the 75% (or 65%) criterion is important for the general/reserved category eligibility, it's also important that you pass all the subjects in your Class 12. If you have further queries regarding Engineering course admission, you can write to hello@collegedekho.com or call our toll free number 18005729877, or simply fill out our Common Application Form on the website.

Hi, if your degree results are expected in May or June, you can still apply for the NIMSET 2025 (Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences, Engineering, and Technology) admission exam. Here's what you must understand while applying:

  • Make sure you meet all of the qualifying criteria for NIMSET 2025, which often include having completed or being in the final year of your degree. Even if your results are waiting, you can apply with the assumption that you will meet the qualifying requirements whenever they are available.
  • The NIMCET 2025 application form is expected to be released online at nimcet.admissions.nic.in in March 2025, with the last date for submission likely to be in the third week of April 2025.
  • If your degree results are due after the application deadline, see if the application form permits you to provide provisional details (like marks obtained so far). Many examinations allow applicants in this position to apply after their results are released.
  • While you wait for your results, ensure that you have other required documents ready, such as your ID proof, previous academic records, and other relevant certificates. When the results are announced, you can quickly update or submit the necessary information.
  • Once your degree result is announced, finalize your application by updating it with the final marks or certificates. Just ensure that you meet the eligibility requirements before the deadline.

I hope this is helpful!
