NIT Durgapur Course Admission 2026: Dates, Fees, Eligibility, Application Process, Selection Criteria

Admission to the B.Tech in Electrical Engineering at NIT Durgapur is primarily based on JEE Main performance. Candidates must achieve a minimum of 75% in their Class 12 board exams or rank in the top 20 percentile. The JEE Main is conducted twice annually, in January and April, with candidates allowed three consecutive attempts. Application details, including fees (INR 1000 for General category, INR 800 for OBC, and INR 500 for SC/ST), are available on the official NTA website.

The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) and Central Seat Allocation Board (CSAB) manage the counselling process, which includes multiple rounds for seat allocation. The General category cutoff for Electrical Engineering ranges around 25,000. Reserved categories benefit from lower cutoffs and potential fee waivers based on family income and category reservation, including home and other state quotas. The admission involves online application and document submission, with a final physical reporting at the campus.

The entire process, spanning from JEE results to course enrollment, focuses on transparency and fairness, catering to both merit and reserved candidates. Details are regularly updated on the official NIT Durgapur and JoSAA websites.
