NIT Arunachal Pradesh Cut Off: JoSAA Rounds, Branch-Wise Closing Ranks

Admission to NIT Arunachal Pradesh for BTech programs is based on JEE Main ranks and not directly on percentile, but typically a JEE Main percentile above 92 to 96 is competitive for the Open category since the closing rank for Computer Science and Engineering in 2025 was around 30,607 (CRL Other State) and 78,084 (CRL Home State) in JoSAA Round 6; percentile requirements will vary each year and across different branches and categories, so candidates should aim for a high percentile to maximize their chances as cutoffs fluctuate annually depending on category, branch, and seat quota.​

NIT Arunachal Pradesh offers a robust Computer Science and Engineering program with admissions through JEE Main based on national standards, and students benefit from a curriculum designed to cover both theoretical and practical aspects, well-qualified faculty, and industry-oriented training, providing graduates with good placement opportunities and a strong foundation for a variety of technology careers, making it a favorable choice for those looking to pursue CSE.​

Securing admission to NIT Arunachal Pradesh with a JEE Main score of 170 depends on the overall paper difficulty, candidate category, and year’s rank distributions, but in 2025, for the Open category, 170 marks would likely correspond to a competitive percentile and rank potentially enabling eligibility for branches such as Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, and in some cases Computer Science for Home State applicants, but direct selection depends on the closing ranks listed for each branch and seat type in JoSAA Round 6, which for CSE (CRL Other State) was 30,607 and for Home State was 78,084.​

Among the various engineering branches offered at NIT Arunachal Pradesh, Computer Science and Engineering is generally considered the most preferred due to its strong placement records, broader career opportunities, and the increasing demand for IT professionals, though other branches like Electronics, Mechanical, and Civil engineering also maintain solid academic and placement profiles, making the choice subjective to an individual's career interests and aptitude.​

The total fees for the 4-year BTech program at NIT Arunachal Pradesh in 2025 amount to approximately ₹5 lakh for General and OBC category students, which includes tuition and other compulsory charges, while students falling under categories such as SC/ST, PWD, or General/OBC with parental annual income below ₹1 lakh benefit from complete tuition fee exemption and only need to pay around ₹11,000 per year for institution and hostel charges; detailed semester-wise breakup and payment steps are available on the official NIT Arunachal Pradesh website.​

Yes, appearing for the JEE Main examination is mandatory for admission to undergraduate engineering programs (BTech) at NIT Arunachal Pradesh as it is the only entrance exam accepted for seat allocation via central counseling authorities like JoSAA and CSAB, and admission is granted strictly based on ranks obtained in JEE Main.​

The minimum JEE Main score required for admission to NIT Arunachal Pradesh varies annually depending on branch, category, and quota, but for 2025, candidates should aim for a score sufficient to place them within or preferably above the closing ranks specified in JoSAA Round 6—for example, the closing rank for the Computer Science and Engineering branch was 30,607 (CRL Other State) and 78,084 (CRL Home State), with other branches generally admitting up to higher ranks; thus, scoring above 150 to 170 marks could improve chances depending on cutoffs for that year.​

In 2025, most branches at NIT Arunachal Pradesh closed significantly below a rank of 2.5 lakh in the Common Rank List for both Other State and Home State quotas in JoSAA Round 6, which means it is extremely unlikely to secure a seat in the BTech program at NIT Arunachal Pradesh with a rank as high as 2.5 lakh, even in categories with relaxed eligibility unless there is a substantial change in the cutoff trend or seat matrix in future years.​

The lowest cutoff rank for Computer Science and Engineering at NIT Arunachal Pradesh in JoSAA Round 6 for 2025 was 78,084 under Home State (Open) quota, whereas for Other State (Open) quota, the cutoff was 30,607, and category-wise or reserved seats have their own respective closing ranks; all cutoff details are strictly derived from the official JoSAA PDF documents attached this year.​

Admission to NIT Arunachal Pradesh for BTech is attained through appearing and qualifying in JEE Main, registering for JoSAA counselling, completing choice filling and locking, participating in the rounds of seat allocation, uploading required documents online for verification, and finally paying the requisite admission fee and reporting for joining as per instructions issued by the institute; all relevant application, counseling, and fee payment processes are detailed on the official NIT Arunachal Pradesh website and JoSAA portal.​

Registration for JoSAA counselling itself does not require any fee, but candidates allotted a seat must pay the seat acceptance fee online to proceed with document verification, and non-payment of this fee results in losing eligibility for further seat allocations; other related costs may apply depending on category and seat confirmed but initial registration is free.​

Based on JoSAA Round 6 cutoffs for 2025, a Common Rank List position of 1 lakh is above the closing ranks for most branches at NIT Arunachal Pradesh except for the Home State quota in certain branches, such as Computer Science and Engineering where the closing rank was 78,084, so candidates with a rank of 1 lakh in CRL may not get CSE or preferred branches but could be eligible for some other branches depending on seat availability and category; specific eligibility should be assessed every year from the official JoSAA cutoff lists.
