JEE Main 2019: Top NITs with expected opening and closing JEE Main Rank 2019

National Testing Agency, NTA would be conducting the JEE Main 2019 examinations in the month of April. About 9.54 lakh candidates have registered for the April examination. While most of the students who appear for JEE Main aspire to get shortlisted for JEE Advanced 2019 and subsequent admission to IITs. However, not all would be able to crack the IITs.

Here is a look at the Top NITs or National Institutes of Technology and the JEE Main Rank you may need to get admission in them.

NITs are also national level technical institutes and are often considered a step below IITs. Some of the NITs (like NIT Trichy, Warangal, Kurukshetra, etc.), compete with many new IITs. However, unlike Indian Institutes of Technology, the admission is done on the basis of JEE Main ranks. Here is a look at some of the top NITs in the country along with expected cut off for opening and closing ranks of JEE Main 2019.
