Our detailed review of NIT Warangal

Overview

NIT Warangal (National Institute of Technology, Warangal) is in Warangal, Telangana. The college dates back to 1959. Started as a Regional Engineering College and is among the most sought-after NITs in South India. Its computer science and electronics seats are some of the hardest to get in the whole NIT system.

How hard is it to get in?

Using the JoSAA 2026 data, we place NIT Warangal in the top tier band. The hardest OPEN gender-neutral seat was Computer Science and Engineering, which closed at CRL 2,238. The easiest OPEN seat was Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, closing at CRL 24,303. So a candidate with an OPEN rank near 2,238 or better could aim for any branch, while a rank near 24,303 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.

Branches and programmes

The data lists 17 programmes at NIT Warangal: 12 four-year B.Tech and 5 five-year or dual-degree programmes. The most competitive three are Computer Science and Engineering; Computer Science and Engineering (Artificial Intelligence & Data Science); Mathematics and Computing.

Home State vs Other State

At NIT Warangal, Home State seats close at a higher rank than Other State seats for most branches. For Computer Science and Engineering, Home State closed at CRL 3,426 against CRL 2,238 for Other State. That means candidates from Telangana usually get in with a weaker rank than outside candidates.
