How to read these cutoffs

  • Closing rank is the last rank that got a seat in the final JoSAA round. Round 1 closes earlier; see each college page for round-wise ranks.
  • Home State seats (half of the seats at each NIT) are only for students whose Class 12 is from that state, and they usually close much later than Other State seats.
  • Female-only seats are extra (supernumerary) seats; female candidates are considered for both these and gender-neutral seats.
  • Category seats (EWS, OBC-NCL, SC, ST) close on category ranks. Switch the category above to see them.

FAQs

Which NIT has the highest demand for Chemical?

Chemical at NIT Trichy closed first, at rank 13,406 for OPEN Other State seats in JoSAA 2026 final round. It is followed by NIT Surathkal (15,093), NIT Warangal (18,989), NIT Rourkela (19,887).

What JEE Main rank is needed for Chemical at an NIT?

For OPEN Other State seats in JoSAA 2026, NIT closing ranks for Chemical ranged from 13,406 to 57,927. Home State seats closed as late as rank 13,90,116, so students from that state have more options. Treat these as a guide: cutoffs change every year.

Is the Chemical cutoff higher for female candidates?

Yes. Female-only (supernumerary) seats close at later ranks: for Chemical, the typical female-only closing rank was about 1.3 times the gender-neutral one. Female candidates compete for both pools.

Does JEE Main rank give Chemical at IITs?

No. IIT seats are allotted on JEE Advanced rank. JEE Main rank (CRL or category rank) is used for NITs, IIITs and GFTIs.
