What Candidates Should Do Next?
Candidates whose ranks are close to the Round 1 closing ranks should not lose hope if they have not got their preferred branch. Earlier, various branches noticed rank relaxation in subsequent JoSAA rounds due to seat withdrawals, upgrades, and reshuffling of choices. Aspirants should carefully monitor upcoming rounds and keep backup options while participating in the counselling process.
As JoSAA counselling progresses, NIT Surathkal is expected to remain among the most competitive NITs in the country. Candidates targeting CSE, ECE, or Civil Engineering should regularly track round-wise cutoff trends and make informed decisions during choice modification and seat acceptance.
