NIFTEM-T Thanjavur admissions rely on JEE Main ranks for B.Tech programs through JoSAA/CSAB counseling, with cutoffs varying by round, category, and seat availability. Previous years show competitive closing ranks for general category around 75,000-95,000 in later JoSAA rounds, easing in CSAB special rounds up to 1.3 million for reserved seats. M.Tech cutoffs follow GATE scores or institute exams, while PhD uses merit from written tests and interviews; trends indicate stable or slightly rising competition due to food tech demand.
