Hi, for admission to NIT Rourkela's Integrated B.Sc. + M.Sc. Mathematics program, your score in the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Main is the main determinant. The amount of candidates, available seats, and general exam difficulty are some of the variables that can affect the precise percentile needed each year.
Closing ranks from the previous year: The closing rankings from prior years can give a broad indication of the necessary performance, even though the precise percentiles are not made public:
Estimating the Required Percentile:
The total number of candidates and the distribution of scores both influence JEE Main rankings. Given that the 2024 closing ranks were between 24,000 and 62,000, aiming for a rank in this range would increase your chances of acceptance. Typically, a ranking in the top 25,000 is considered competitive for this program.
