Our detailed review of NIT Raipur

Overview

How hard is it to get in?

Using the JoSAA 2026 data, we place NIT Raipur in the mid tier band. The hardest OPEN gender-neutral seat was Computer Science and Engineering, which closed at CRL 16,439. The easiest OPEN seat was Bio Medical Engineering, closing at CRL 57,731. So a candidate with an OPEN rank near 16,439 or better could aim for any branch, while a rank near 57,731 is only enough for the last branches. Remember that closing ranks can still move in the last rounds, so a rank slightly beyond these numbers can still get a seat.
