NIT Hamirpur Cut-off
A plain-language guide to the NIT Hamirpur cut-off for B.Tech admission: how JoSAA opening and closing ranks work, how categories and rounds change the numbers, and where to check the official cut-offs. We do not publish year-specific figures here because the only numbers that matter come from JoSAA and CSAB after each counselling round. Already studying at NITH?

What the cut-off actually means
The cut-off for NIT Hamirpur is the JEE Main rank at which a branch's seats fill up during counselling. It is published as a pair of numbers for every branch, category and round:
- Opening rank - the best JEE Main rank among students admitted to that branch, the first seat that filled.
- Closing rank - the worst rank that still got a seat. If your rank is better than the closing rank of a branch in your category, you would likely be admitted in that round.
How the NITH cut-off is decided
B.Tech admission to NIT Hamirpur happens through JoSAA, the Joint Seat Allocation Authority, in multiple rounds. The cut-off is not decided by the institute; it emerges from the counselling itself. Three things push it around every year:
- 1Seat capacity - fewer seats, tougher cut-off.
- 2Category - General seats need the best ranks; reserved category seats fill at progressively lower ranks.
- 3Round - closing ranks keep rising in later rounds as students upgrade to other institutes, so a rank that missed in round 3 can still get a seat in round 5 through CSAB.
Which NITH branches have the highest cut-off
The ordering is stable across years. Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) consistently has the highest cut-off at NIT Hamirpur, followed by Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE). Electrical, Mechanical, Civil, Chemical and the core branches fill at lower closing ranks, and additional seats open up in later rounds, so a slightly weaker rank can still land a seat in one of these branches.
Dual-degree programs and newer specializations behave differently from the standard B.Tech branches, so check their separate cut-off tables when they appear on JoSAA.
Where to check the official cut-off
For year-specific numbers, always use the official sources:
- 1josaa.nic.in - opening and closing ranks for every NIT, branch, category and round.
- 2csab.nic.in - seats filled in the later rounds and special phases.
- 3nith.ac.in - institute-level admission notices and seat matrix.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cut-off for NIT Hamirpur?
The NIT Hamirpur cut-off is the JEE Main rank at which B.Tech seats fill during JoSAA counselling. Each branch has an opening rank and a closing rank for every category and round. Computer Science and Electronics branches have the highest cut-offs at NITH.
Where can I check the official NIT Hamirpur cut-off?
JoSAA publishes the official opening and closing ranks for NIT Hamirpur on josaa.nic.in after every counselling round. Later-round seats fill through CSAB, whose data is published on csab.nic.in. Always use these official sources for year-specific numbers.
Does the NIT Hamirpur cut-off change every year?
Yes. The cut-off changes every year because it depends on the number of applicants, their JEE Main scores, the difficulty level of the exam, seat availability and counselling trends. Previous year cut-offs are a rough indicator, never a guarantee.
Do NIT Hamirpur cut-offs differ by category?
Yes. Seats are reserved for OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS and PwD candidates, so the cut-off for each category is different. General category seats need the best ranks, followed by OBC-NCL, EWS, SC and ST in that order.
Which NIT Hamirpur branch has the highest cut-off?
At NIT Hamirpur, Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) has the highest cut-off, followed by Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE). Branches like Civil, Mechanical, Electrical and Chemical have comparatively lower closing ranks, and more seats become available in later JoSAA rounds.
