National Institutes of Technology (NITs) are autonomous engineering institutes that provide undergraduate degrees in engineering and other subjects. There are 31 NITs in India, and admission to BTech programmes is regulated by the JoSAA counselling procedure, which is based on the AIR rank obtained in JEE Main.
Top colleges in the country, like NIT Delhi, NIT Patna, and NIT Agartala, accept candidates with a JEE Main rank of 20,000 or higher. A rank of 20,000 in the JEE Main 2025 exam is regarded as good, given the National Testing Agency’s Joint Entrance exam’s difficulty level. With a JEE Main 2025 rank of 20,000, aspirants can gain admission to top NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs through JoSAA Counselling.
