Note: NIMCET admission data is published as "Closing Ranks" per round. The tables above represent the final round of seat allocation for the respective years. Data for years prior to 2022 is excluded here due to the lack of centralized, standardized digital archives for final round closing ranks across all participating NITs in a single official notification format.
