Admission:

To take admission into NIT, students must appear for an entrance exam (JEE) and score good percentile. Application form comes every year on NTA site and it cost around 700 rs for filliing the application. Also if students have a category , they can avail its benefits during counselling as the cutoff of category students remain low. JEE occur twice a year and it has two levels main and advanced, those who clears main are eligible for advanced and the difficulty level is high. For different branches cut offs are different. One improvement which should be done is to scrutinized the documents very carefully while taking admissions.
