The NIT Warangal cutoff 2025 determines the minimum JEE Main rank required to secure admission to its B.Tech and Integrated programs through JoSAA counselling. The cutoffs vary for each category, program, and quota (Home State and Other State). Below is a detailed overview of the latest cutoffs, trends, and influencing factors.

NIT Warangal is one of India’s top engineering institutes. Admission to its B.Tech programmes is through JEE Main, followed by the JoSAA counselling process. The institute follows quotas like Home-State, Other-State, category (General, OBC, SC/ST, EWS), and gender-based seats.
Cutoffs are released each year as opening and closing All India Ranks by branch, category, and counselling round. Seat matrix changes, new category quotas, and applicant strength all affect these cutoffs.
2025 Snapshot
Closing ranks for General (Other-State) range roughly from 1,100 to 33,000 depending on the branch.
Example values:
CSE closing rank around 2,300 (Round 4)
Civil Engineering around 24,000 (Round 4)
For Home-State candidates, closing ranks are usually higher (less competitive) — e.g. CSE Home State around 3,400.
Trend 2021-2024
Cutoffs show consistent patterns. Top branches like CSE and ECE stay highly competitive with closing ranks under 5,000. Core branches like Mechanical and Civil show wider ranges but steady tightening each year as demand grows.
Observations
CSE and computing-based branches remain the most competitive. ECE and EEE see moderate competition. Mechanical and Civil still admit higher ranks but are getting tougher yearly.
Home-State (Telangana) candidates typically see higher closing ranks because of limited quota seats. For instance, in 2025 CSE General Other-State closed near 2,300 while Home-State closed near 3,400.
Applicants must compare within their specific quota and category before setting rank targets.
Exam difficulty: Tougher JEE Main papers can shift cutoffs upward.
Applicant volume: More high-scoring candidates make ranks tighter.
Seat intake: Branch expansion or reduction changes competition.
Branch popularity: CSE and AI/DS see consistent surges in demand.
Reservation rules: Category and gender quotas directly shape opening and closing ranks.
Counselling movement: Ranks can vary across later JoSAA rounds as seats shuffle.

Factor in Home-State vs Other-State differences.
Target a rank slightly better than the last year’s closing for safety.
Stay flexible with branch preferences.
Monitor JoSAA rounds — later rounds often open opportunities.
NIT Warangal remains among the most competitive NITs.
General Other-State candidates need ranks below 3,000 for CSE.
Ranks up to 25,000 – 40,000 can secure seats in core branches.
Cutoffs are tightening steadily each year.
Plan branch choices strategically and keep backup options ready.
The expected NIT Warangal cutoff for 2025 ranges between AIR 1,000 – 3,000 for top branches like CSE and up to 30,000+ for core branches like Civil and Metallurgical Engineering, depending on category and quota.
Admissions are based on JEE Main scores, followed by JoSAA counselling. Seat allocation depends on your rank, category, gender, and home or other state quota.
Yes. Home-State (Telangana) students generally have a slightly higher closing rank compared to Other-State students for the same branch and category.
The CSE cutoff for the General category (Other-State) is expected to close around AIR 2,300, while for Home-State students it may go up to AIR 3,400.
Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) consistently has the highest cutoff every year, followed by Electronics and Communication (ECE) and Mathematics & Computing.
Cutoffs for OBC, SC, ST, and EWS categories are usually higher in rank (less competitive) compared to the General category. Each category has separate seat allocations.
You can check the official round-wise cutoff ranks on the JoSAA website after each counselling round is completed.
Cutoffs vary based on JEE Main difficulty, number of applicants, seat intake, branch popularity, and reservation policies.
A 95 percentile roughly translates to a rank around 40,000–50,000, which may qualify for core branches like Civil, Chemical, or Biotechnology depending on category and quota.
