AI-Generated Summary based on 797 Reviews

The Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) in Electrical Engineering at NIT Kurukshetra requires prospective students to qualify through the JEE Mains entrance examination. Eligibility mandates a minimum of 75% in Class 12 or ranking in the top 20 percentile of your board exams. The application process is conducted via the official NTA website, with exams held twice annually in January and April. For general category students, a cutoff percentile of 90 or above is typically necessary, with higher cutoffs for more competitive branches such as Computer Science.

Reservation policies favor candidates from categories like OBC, SC, ST, EWS, and PWD, as well as female students, and 50% of seats are reserved for home state candidates. The admission process is centralized through JoSAA counseling, followed by potential participation in CSAB special rounds. Physical reporting at the institute is required for document verification, a stage often criticized for being time-consuming. Tuition fees waiver and scholarships are available based on category and income level.

Being among the top NITs, the institute competes favorably with lower-tier IITs, offering a prestigious standing and robust alumni network for aspiring engineers.

It may not be possible for you to get direct admission to any of the course in NIT Kurukshetra. NIT Kurukshetra is a prominent institute in India and the number of applicants are much higher than the number of seats every year. This increases the competition.
