Architecture & Planning at NIT Raipur

Different rank pool. B.Arch and B.Plan admissions use JEE Main Paper 2 ranks, which come from a separate exam and a much smaller candidate pool (~40k) than Paper 1 (~14 lakh). Do not compare these closing ranks to the B.E./B.Tech numbers above — a B.Arch closing rank of 289 is within the Paper 2 list only.
