Dear Student,

as you might already know that the cutoff for each year differs based on many factors such as, the number of seats available, the number of candidate appearing for the examination, the difficulty level of the exam paper etc. Hence based on the previous years cutoff, the chances for you to get a seat in any of the NITs for CS branch.

You are eligible at NIT Durgapur for Integrated MSc. in Chemistry.

Some of the colleges you are eligible for CS branch are,

  • Dr. D.Y. Patil Institute of Engineering and Technology, Pune
  • New Horizon Institute of Technology and Management, Thane
  • Zeal College of Engineering and Research, Pune
  • KDK College of Engineering, Nagpur

You need not worry as you can still keep trying for a better percentile as there are still two more exam sessions of JEE Mains 2021.

If you would like to get more information on colleges best suited for you based on your percentile and preference you take help of the college predictor tool provided in the link below.

Dear Student,

You have scored well. The seats for NIT are limited that's why it is little bit tough for you. Here I am providing you some links from that you will be able to know that what is your ranking and the which college you will be able to get or not. As you are a candidate from west bengal then you are having chances to get a seat in NIT Durgapur but in the very last rounds of counselling but the CSE is really difficult to get.
