How to Read the NIT Calicut Cut Off
- Half of the B.Tech seats at NIT Calicut are filled under the Home State quota, for candidates who passed Class 12 from Kerala; the other half go to Other State candidates. Each quota has its own closing rank, which is why the tables show both.
- OPEN seats use your JEE Main Common Rank List (CRL) rank. EWS, OBC-NCL, SC and ST seats use your category rank.
- A closing rank is the last rank admitted in the final round. If your rank is at or below it, you were in range last year; cut offs move every year.
- Ranks marked P are from the preparatory rank list.
Round-wise Ranks and College Predictor
This page shows the final round. For every round of 2024 to 2026, PwD seats and all quotas, see NIT Calicut round-wise cut off on JEEPrep. To check which NITs, IIITs and GFTIs your rank or percentile could get, use the JEE Main College Predictor.
Seats are filled through JoSAA counselling. See the JoSAA cut off for all colleges and JEE Main 2027 for exam dates.
