About Computer Science and Engineering

Programming, algorithms, computer systems, networks and software engineering. CSE is the most demanded branch in JoSAA, so it closes earliest at almost every institute. Most graduates join software and product companies; others go for higher studies or research.

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.
  • Want every option for your exact profile? Use the college predictor.

FAQs

Which NIT has the highest demand for CSE?

CSE at NIT Trichy closed first, at rank 1,373 for OPEN Other State seats in JoSAA 2026 final round. It is followed by NIT Surathkal (1,954), NIT Warangal (2,581), NIT Rourkela (4,266).

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

For OPEN Other State seats in JoSAA 2026, NIT closing ranks for CSE ranged from 1,373 to 43,239. Home State seats closed as late as rank 5,22,326, so students from that state have more options. Treat these as a guide: cutoffs change every year.

What rank is needed for CSE at an IIIT?

IIIT CSE seats (All India) closed between rank 8,888 at ABV-IIITM Gwalior and 67,545 at IIIT Manipur in JoSAA 2026 final round.

Is the CSE cutoff higher for female candidates?

Yes. Female-only (supernumerary) seats close at later ranks: for CSE, the typical female-only closing rank was about 1.6 times the gender-neutral one. Female candidates compete for both pools.

Does JEE Main rank give CSE 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.
