Strategy for Rank 7,000 (General)

  • 1NITs in the top tier (Trichy, Warangal, Surathkal) should be your primary focus for Safe options.
  • 2Always include home state NIT choices — HS quota is ~60% more relaxed than OS and can get you a better branch.
  • 3Fill a minimum of 30–50 choice combinations. Most students who miss out filled fewer than 20 choices.
  • 4Do NOT freeze until Round 5 or 6. Float and Slide options often yield better seats in later rounds.
