The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) 2025 has declared the Round 1 cutoff closing ranks for admission in the different courses at NIT Calicut. The information consists of the opening and closing ranks for Home State (HS) and Other State (OS) quotas of candidates belonging to the Open Gender-Neutral category.
This data is highly crucial for students who want to secure admission in NIT Calicut via JoSAA counselling since it enables them to evaluate their chances and make informed choices for future rounds.
Minor Changes from 2024 Cutoffs
For instance, in Bio-Technology, the Round 1 closing ranks in 2025 are:
- Home State (HS): 29,616
- Other State (OS): 26,457
To compare, the 2024 Round 1 closing ranks in Biotechnology were:
- HS: 28,517
- OS: 30,894
This indicates that the cutoffs have gone down a bit from last year. Closing ranks in most courses are likely to come down (loosened) in the later rounds while filling up seat vacancies.
Complete JoSAA NIT Calicut Round 1 Cutoff 2025
Below is a full table of opening and closing ranks of NIT Calicut in Round 1 of JoSAA 2025:
Trends Observed in Round 1 Cutoffs
Top Choices Remain CSE, ECE, and EE
Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) remains the most cutthroat course at NIT Calicut with extremely low closing ranks (HS: 7,971; OS: 4,678).
Other courses such as Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) and Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) also saw heavy competition.
Lower Demand in Certain Branches
Courses such as Materials Science and Engineering, Production Engineering, Bio-Technology, and Engineering Physics carry higher closing ranks, thus becoming more available to candidates with relatively lower JEE Advanced ranks.
Cutoffs may fall in subsequent rounds
It is anticipated that with the progression of subsequent rounds of JoSAA 2025, most cutoffs may decrease marginally because of the withdrawal of seats, upgradation of options, and changes in student preference. This brings hope to the candidates who may have been left behind in Round 1 but can still hope for the upcoming rounds.
Conclusion
The JoSAA NIT Calicut Round 1 Cutoff 2025 release gives us an idea of how competitive and admission-oriented this year has been. Though CSE, ECE, and EEE are very competitive, a few other branches have comparatively softer cutoffs, opening up chances for a large number of candidates. As the counselling sessions go on, students are requested to keep a close eye on the next rounds, prepare backup options, and take wise decisions considering their ranks and preferences.
