JMI does not apply the 10% EWS reservation because it is exempt from that provision.
Ques. Is JMI B.Tech counselling handled by JoSAA?

They must submit the final marksheet showing at least 50% aggregate by the date mentioned in the admission notice. If they do not meet the required marks, JMI cancels the provisional admission.
Ques. Does JMI offer paid direct admission or management quota seats?
Ans. No. Jamia Millia Islamia is a Central Government University and does not offer management quota, NRI quota or direct paid admission. Seats are given through entrance test merit and the university reservation policy. A seat cannot be secured by paying a capitation fee.
Ques. Who can use the Jamia internal quota?
Ans. JMI reserves 5% of seats in most programmes for students who studied in Jamia schools from nursery to Class 12 or for wards of JMI employees. They still have to take the required entrance test. Seats are allotted by merit within the internal quota pool. At document verification, they must show valid school or employment proof.
Ques. Which documents are checked during JMI admission verification?
Ans. Students must carry originals and self-attested copies of the Class 10 certificate, Class 12 marksheet and certificate, graduation marksheets for PG courses, JEE Main/CUET/GATE scorecard where applicable, JMI entrance test admit card, category certificate for Muslim minority, SC/ST, PwD, J&K domicile or Jamia internal category where applicable, recent passport photographs and Aadhaar card.

If you talk about ranking, then I can bet on it it's in the top 3 universities of india, and the engineering research team is well established. I've applied for hbtu kanpur and iet Lucknow and I've participated in jossa where I get admission in pec Chandigarh but I didn't go for them because at the same time I got admission in jamia millia islamia and I've opt it because it's quite renowned and also it's in delhi which is quite near to my home. The engineering ranking also quite better than the others i was getting. I didn't get rejection from any others college's mentioned above but at the same time I've got admission in jamia millia islamia. The admission process of BTech is done through the rank of jee mains, so once we get result of jee then jmi starts their separate counselling for admission in btech and on that basis it release list for admission in which cut-off and all sorts present. The cut-off varies year by year. Sometimes it goes higher and sometimes it closes very soon.

Read Full ReviewComparing School of Engineering CUSAT and Jamia Millia Islamia is not suitable as both the colleges are well established and are holding their culture and curriculum really very well. So, choosing either of them would not be easy.
But, as far as I know, Jamia Millia Islamia was established 100 years ago and is better than SOE CUSAT.
Jamia Millia Islamia will offer you a productive and competitive environment. You will also get to do lots of extracurricular activities and will get to learn from highly efficient teaching staff in JMI.
In CUSAT, you might be taught by recently graduated teachers. This will not only affect the teaching methodology but a good exposure as well.
CUSAT is nicely harnessed and handled by various Political parties for their own benefit. You can see a few strikes now and then among students and parties. But it should not be your concern as you are going to study there and grow productively.
Jamia Millia Islamia MBA is pretty good in terms of academics and placements. Around 80% of the students get placed each year. For the MBA placement of 2022, more than 25 recruiting companies visited the campus drive. The average CTC offered during campus placement is INR 4-6 LPA.
The faculties are good. Most of the faculty members are from FMS and IIMs.
Jamia Millia Islamia MBA fees is nominal. The total course fees for 2 years are INR 2.10 Lakhs. So, the ROI is pretty good. Here is a video comprising details of an MBA from Jamia Milia University
Overall, doing an MBA from Jamia Milia University is really worth it.
Here are the details of Jamia Millia Islamia cutoff 2021 for engineering courses.
| Course | Cutoff |
| B.Tech in Civil Engineering | 25148 |
| B.Tech in Computer Engineering | 7026 |
| B.Tech in Electrical Engineering | 19432 |
| B.Tech in Electronics & Communication Engineering | 14829 |
| B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering | 22755 |
This cutoff is for General category students only. Naturally, the required cutoff varies each year depending on different factors.
Jamia Millia Islamia has an overall 50% Muslim quota. It comprises the following:
These are some of the Muslim quotas at Jamia Millia Islamia. You can check the official website for a detailed version.
On average, 100 students get placed in Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) in the Engineering department every year.
If we look at the placement drive for 2020, a total of 257 students were placed. More than 52 companies participated in the placement program. The companies that recruited the maximum number of students are Microsoft and Deloitte. The highest salary package went up to 41 LPA.
Many reputed companies took part in the placement program along with Microsoft and Deloitte. They include Accenture, Wipro, HP, IBM, Bosch, Phillips, Texas Instruments, TCS, Zia Electronics, Siemens, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, etc.
It mostly depends on you and your overall academic performance, however, it is not very difficult in Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI).
JMI, like any other institution, selects students according to their merit and performance in the entrance exam. The difficulty in admission may vary from student to student.
There are many parameters that play crucial roles in the section at Jamia Millia Islamia university hostel. Here are a few of such parameters.
Merit-
Students are divided into groups based on percentage. For example -
>80% - 10 points
>70% - 8 points
Family income - If you are from economically weak family background, you will surely have an advantage.
Extra-curricular activities- If you are an active participant in extra-curricular activities then, you can get extra points.
Distance - If you are from a distant place, such as Kashmir/Nort-east then you will get preference for hostel accommodation.
Hope this clears your confusion.
Jamia Millia Islamia is perfectly safe for women. You will never deal with anything troubling at the campus. Jamia is an institution that is known to treat every student equally and doesn't show any kind of partiality.
The institute will act as your guardian. It would not shy away from its responsibility to protect you irrespective of your caste, gender, community, etc.
The cut-off marks for BDS in Jamia Millia Islamia varies from year to year. There are no definite cut-off marks.
NEET Cut Off
| Categories | Cut Off 2021 (Expected) | Cut Off 2020 |
| Others | 720-205 | 720-147 |
| OBC | 160-120 | 146-113 |
| SC | 155-115 | 146-113 |
| ST | 150-110 | 146-113 |
| UR & PH | 160-130 | 146-129 |
| OBC & PH | 140-110 | 128-113 |
| SC & PH | 135-110 | 128-113 |
| ST & PH | 130-110 | 128-113 |
2021 cut-off has not been released and the expected cut-off is based on the previous database.
I have cousins from both NIT Goa, and Jamia Millia Islamia and as they mention, the latter is famous for its CSE course. Usually, students do not leave the opportunity to go for the CSE course of Jamia Millia Islamia.
| Categories | ECE at NIT Goa | CSE at Jamia Millia Islamia |
| Course Fee | 5.38 lakh | 64,600 |
| Highest CTC | 13 LPA | 20 LPA |
| Average CTC | 6.5 LPA | 8-10 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | L&T, Microsoft, Siemens, Infosys, etc. | TCS, Wipro, Adobe, Cognizant, etc. |
Apart from these few, it depends upon how hard you work. Be it ECE or CSE, you have to work hard and utilize the time and opportunities you get while studying in college.
