Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about college predictions, cutoffs, state quota, and JoSAA counselling process.

1
How accurate is the JEE Main College Predictor?
Our college predictor uses historical JoSAA counseling cutoff data from the past 5 years across all NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs. While predictions are highly reliable, actual cutoffs may vary based on seat matrix changes, exam difficulty, and competition. Use this as a planning tool, not a guarantee.
2
What is the difference between Home State and Other State quota?
In NITs, 50% seats are reserved for Home State candidates (candidates who completed Class 12 from that state) and 50% for Other State candidates. Home State cutoffs are generally lower than Other State cutoffs. IIITs and GFTIs typically follow All India quota.
3
Can I get NIT with a rank above 50,000?
Yes! While top NITs (Trichy, Surathkal, Warangal) typically close under 20,000 for popular branches, many NITs accept ranks up to 50,000-70,000 for less competitive branches. Newer NITs and GFTIs may accept ranks even higher. Category also plays a significant role.
4
What are female-only supernumerary seats in NITs/IIITs?
To increase female enrollment, NITs and IIITs offer additional supernumerary seats for female candidates. These are extra seats beyond the regular sanctioned strength, created specifically for female students. They provide better admission opportunities for female candidates.
5
Which is better: NIT Trichy CSE or IIIT Hyderabad CSE?
Both are excellent choices. IIIT Hyderabad has slightly better placement stats and industry connections for CS, but NIT Trichy has better overall infrastructure and older legacy. The choice depends on your rank preference, branch interest, and career goals. Both have excellent placements.
6
How to fill JoSAA choices based on predictor results?
Fill choices in order of your preference: preferred branches first, then preferred colleges. Include safe options (cutoff below your rank), moderate options (around your rank), and stretch options (above your rank). Don't fill colleges you won't join. Use category rank for category quota seats.
7
What is the closing rank for CSE in top NITs?
For General category Other State, typical closing ranks are: NIT Trichy ~5,000-8,000, NIT Surathkal ~6,000-10,000, NIT Warangal ~7,000-12,000, MNIT Allahabad ~10,000-15,000. Home State cutoffs are 50-70% lower. Category cutoffs are significantly higher (weaker) ranks.
8
Should I prefer branch over college or college over branch?
For top 10 NITs/IIITs, branch preference is crucial - CSE/IT/ECE are preferred. For newer NITs (rank 15-23), college reputation matters more. If you're interested in core engineering, older NITs with strong departments are better. Consider your interest, placement scope, and future goals.
