I have got 2224 rank in JAM 2025 Math (GEN). Is it good enough for NIT

To check if your rank of 2224 in JAM 2025 Math (GEN) is good enough for an NIT, it's important to look at the previous years' cutoffs and trends for Mathematics in various NITs. Generally, a rank like 2224 could allow admission to some NITs, especially in specific categories, but the chances depend heavily on the specific NIT and the course demand.

I would recommend checking the detailed JAM 2025 cutoff trends for Mathematics on the Careers360 website or consulting their JAM College Predictor to get a more precise idea based on recent data.
