NITs offering B.Tech in Artificial Intelligence through JoSAA 2026: Total Seats Available, Cutoff Details

Dear student,

Heritage Institute of Technology WBJEE cutoffs accept karta hai B Tech CSE stream mein admission ke liye. Lekin, pichle saal ke trends dekhte hue, CSE ke closing cutoff ranks Round 1, 2, aur 3 mein 3585, 4283, aur 4005 the. Matlab, agar aapka rank 18000 hai, toh Heritage Institute of Technology mein CSE course lena kaafi tough hoga. Haan, lekin aap dusre streams try kar sakte ho jaise B.Tech Electrical Engineering, B.Tech Mechanical Engineering, ya B.Tech Applied Electronics and Instrumentation, jahan yeh rank admission ke liye kaafi ho sakta hai. Iske alawa, aap dusre colleges bhi consider kar sakte ho jaise Narula Institute of Technology, Kazi Nazrul University, aur University of Calcutta, jo is rank par admission dete hain.

Dear Student,

Unfortunately, diploma students from Bihar or any other state with 10th marks are not eligible for WBJEE exam. This is because the minimum WBJEE 2025 eligibility criteria requires that all students (from West Bengal or other states) must have completed their 10+2 education with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as main subjects to get admission to B.Tech degree. 

We hope this information was helpful to you. Good luck!
