- 2If you are from Rajasthan, prioritise the HS quota choice for this branch (effective closing rank ~20,960 OPEN) before adding any OS choices. HS seats at NITs are processed first and are far more relaxed.
- 3Always check OBC-NCL, SC, and EWS category-specific closing ranks — reserved category seats at NITs have significantly lower rank requirements and give access to top branches even at mid-level ranks.
- 4During JoSAA counselling, use the Float and Slide options in every round to automatically upgrade to better choices if seats open. Do not Freeze until Round 5–6 unless you are fully satisfied with your current allotment.
