NIT Calicut cutoff — frequently asked questions

What was the Architecture cutoff at NIT Calicut in 2024?
In 2024, Architecture (Bachelor of Architecture) at NIT Calicut closed at JEE Main rank 466 in the final JoSAA round, for Other State quota, Open category, gender-neutral seats. The opening rank that year was 239.
What rank do I need for NIT Calicut?
It depends entirely on the branch. In 2024, the most competitive branch at NIT Calicut was Architecture, closing at JEE Main rank 466, while Bio Technology closed at 35,922 — so the realistic range across 11 branches was roughly 466 to 35,922 (Other State quota, Open category, gender-neutral). These are past results, not a guarantee for future years.
Which branch at NIT Calicut is hardest to get into?
Based on 2024 JoSAA final-round closing ranks, Architecture is the most competitive branch at NIT Calicut, closing at JEE Main rank 466 for Open category, gender-neutral seats under Other State quota.
Has NIT Calicut Architecture become harder to get into?
Comparing JoSAA final-round closing ranks, Architecture at NIT Calicut went from rank 2,092 in 2016 to 466 in 2024. A lower closing rank means tougher competition, so it has become about 78% more competitive over that period, for Open category gender-neutral seats.
What is the category-wise cutoff for Architecture at NIT Calicut?
For Architecture at NIT Calicut in 2024 (Other State quota, gender-neutral seats), the JoSAA final-round closing ranks by category were: OPEN 466, EWS 136, OBC-NCL 299, SC 104, ST 85. Note these are not directly comparable: the Open figure is a Common Rank List rank, while EWS, OBC-NCL, SC and ST figures are ranks within each category's own list, so a smaller reserved-category number does not mean that category was harder to get into.

About this data

Ranks are final-round JoSAA seat-allotment opening and closing ranks, sourced from the official JoSAA Opening & Closing Rank tables. IIT ranks are JEE Advanced ranks; NIT, IIIT and GFTI ranks are JEE Main ranks.

Data currently runs through 2024. Years before 2018 predate the female-supernumerary split, so those figures reflect a single combined pool rather than a separate gender-neutral one.

These are historical results, not predictions. Cutoffs shift every year with paper difficulty, seat matrix and applicant numbers — always confirm against JoSAA or CSAB before making an admission decision.
