I get rank 1427 in IIT jam this year. Can I get addmission in nit durgapur for pg chemistry?I am from general category

Hello Aspirant,

Your IIT JAM rank in Chemistry is 1427 as a General category student, and so the NIT Durgapur M.Sc. Chemistry program would probably be challenging to gain admission to, but not impossible. If you are looking at NIT Durgapur you must be wondering what the closing ranks are every year, and the closing ranks will likely be very different based on how many seats are available to your category and how many people apply every year.  Usually for General category candidates, the closing ranks for NITs in Chemistry for master's programs are often much more competitive, typically lower than 1000, but it varies every year. You should have a look a the official opening and closing ranks for adoptable years on the JAM counseling website or on NIT Durgapur's admissions site.

If your rank is a little higher than the closing rank from the previous year, you could technically obtain a spot during the following spot rounds or in the case that one or two spots remain vacant. Make sure to apply to other institutes and other categories such as self-financed institutes or private seats as well.

With a JAM rank of 1427 (General), you are just above the usual closing rank (~1360) for M.Sc. Chemistry at NIT Durgapur, so admission is unlikely but not impossible if some seats remain vacant.

Consider:

Checking other NITs or institutes with higher closing ranks

Trying next year for a better rank

Hello there,

With an IIT JAM 2025 rank of 1427 in Chemistry and belonging to the General category , your chances of securing admission to the M.Sc. Chemistry program at NIT Durgapur are unlikely .

In previous years, the closing ranks for General category candidates in M.Sc. Chemistry at NIT Durgapur were:

• 2024 : 1008

• 2023 : 1149

• 2022 : 913

These figures indicate that the cutoff ranks have consistently been below 1200. Given your rank of 1427, it falls outside the typical closing ranks for this program.

However, you might consider applying to other NITs or institutes where the closing ranks for M.Sc. Chemistry are higher. Institutes like NIT Jalandhar , NIT Hamirpur , or NIT Meghalaya have had higher closing ranks in the past, which might increase your chances of admission.

It's advisable to participate in the CCMN counselling process and explore all possible options. Additionally, keep an eye on spot rounds or subsequent counselling rounds, as seats sometimes become available due to withdrawals.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
