A disciplined and syllabus-focused approach gives the best results.

NERIST Cutoff & Seat Allocation

NERIST cutoffs change every year based on:

There is a strong preference for North Eastern students, including those from Arunachal Pradesh. Branches such as CSE and ECE generally have higher competition.
