I'm looking for exposure more than placements. Which NIT should I choose: NIT Warangal, NIT Rourkela or NIT Surathkal?

For OBC category students under the Home State quota, the last round closing rank for CSE admission was 6055 in 2025. For the same BTech specialisation, the cutoff rank was 5077 in 2024, while in 2023, it was 4924. It was evident by looking at the cutoff ranks over the years that the competition has increased. 

If you qualify under the General AI quota, the maximum required JEE Main cutoff rank for B.Tech admission was 60255 in 2025. Please note that cutoff ranks for admission vary across rounds, specialisations, and categories. Candidates with a lower cutoff rank than the one mentioned here are more likely to secure a seat at NIT Warangal for one of the B.Tech specialisations. For competitive branches like CSE, ECE, etc., the cutoff ranks tend to be lower, indicating high competition for admission among engineering aspirants.
