No, NIT admissions are not based on CUET scores. NITs accept only JEE Main scores for UG courses such as B.Tech. No matter how well you've done in your Class 12th board and have fulfilled the eligibility criteria, CUET is not acceptable for NIT admission.
Here’s what you need to know:
Criteria | NIT Admission Requirement |
---|---|
Entrance Exam | JEE Main only |
CUET Score | Not accepted |
Class 12th Marks | Minimum 75% or top 20 percentile in respective board |
If your goal is to get into an NIT, appearing for JEE Main is a must.
If you have performed decent in CUET, you can attempt to get admission to top central universities and other colleges that accept CUET scores for B.Tech or other undergraduate degrees.
