If you are studying in Class 11 Commerce under WBBSE board, then admission to NIT Durgapur is not possible. NITs offer admission mainly to B.Tech programs through the JEE Main exam, which requires Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) in 10+2. Since you are from the Commerce stream, you are not eligible for JEE Main. However, after Commerce you can choose other good options like B.Com, BBA, CA, CS, CMA, MBA or reputed universities and colleges for commerce-related courses.

Good afternoon, to be eligible for admission to NIT Durgapur via JEE Main, you must meet one of these two criteria:

Percentage    Minimum 75% marks in Class 12 (for General/OBC)

Percentile Rank    Be in the top 20 percentile of WBBSE board exam results

SC/ST Candidates    Only 65% marks required in Class 12

These are eligibility criteria, not selection criteria. Admission is based on your JEE Main rank, not just board marks.

Hello aspirant!

With an 82 percentile in JEE Mains and an OBC-NCL rank of around 89,000, getting admission into NIT Durgapur will be quite difficult, especially for popular branches like Computer Science, Electronics, or Mechanical. These branches usually close much earlier for both general and OBC-NCL categories under the home state quota.

However, you might have a slim chance in less preferred branches like Biotechnology, Metallurgical, or Mining Engineering, particularly during the CSAB special rounds. So it's still worth applying and keeping those rounds in mind. Sometimes unexpected vacancies open up.

Apart from NIT Durgapur, you should also explore other options like private engineering colleges in West Bengal that accept JEE Main scores. A few good ones include Techno India University, IEM Kolkata, Heritage Institute of Technology, and UEM Kolkata. They have decent infrastructure and placements, and admission is generally more flexible with ranks in this range.

If you also appeared for WBJEE, that could offer you more opportunities in state colleges.

Stay positive and keep your options open during counselling process and don't lose hope. All the best!


With 76.31 percentile (SC, Female, West Bengal) in JEE Main 2025 , your SC category rank is likely above 35,000 .

Chance in Central Govt Colleges:

  • IIEST Shibpur : Low chance for CSE/IT; possible in Mining or Civil.

  • NIT Durgapur (Home State) : Tough for top branches; Civil or lower branches may be possible.

  • Newer IIITs/GFTIs : Some chances in lower branches depending on cutoff trends.

What to Do:

  • Register for JoSAA counselling.

  • Fill as many choices as possible (include low-demand branches).

  • Keep checking official cutoffs.
