How this school serves students from different economic backgrounds, including Pell students, first-generation pathways, and long-term mobility outcomes.
New Jersey Institute of Technology admits 65.1% of applicants, with the middle 50% of admitted students scoring between 1,210 and 1,460 on the SAT (interquartile range) and between 27 and 34 on the ACT. Among enrolled undergraduates, 39.6% receive Pell Grants and 34.4% are first-generation college students. Transfer enrollment accounts for 31.6% of the student body, reflecting the institution's role as a destination for students who begin their academic path elsewhere and seek a technically focused environment in the Newark area. Azimuth ranks New Jersey Institute of Technology #213 for access among nonprofit four-year institutions. The access position reflects a selective but not narrow admission profile: the institution draws a meaningful share of Pell-eligible and first-generation students while maintaining an engineering-dominant curriculum that shapes who applies and who enrolls. Freshman retention is 89.5%, and the six-year graduation rate is 72.8%, with 61.1% of Pell-eligible students completing within that window — a completion gap that is worth tracking alongside the access figures. Azimuth ranks New Jersey Institute of Technology #96 for mobility among nonprofit four-year institutions. Low-income graduates have median earnings of $68,600 on a historical 10-year Scorecard measure, placing this cohort in the 92.7 percentile for low-income graduate earnings among nonprofit four-year institutions. The mobility ranking reflects both the per-student earnings strength and the volume of Pell-eligible students who reach those outcomes — a combination that positions New Jersey Institute of Technology as a pathway for low-income students pursuing engineering and technical careers in the New York metropolitan region.
