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 Electrical?

Electrical at NIT Trichy closed first, at rank 5,432 for OPEN Other State seats in JoSAA 2026 final round. It is followed by NIT Surathkal (6,798), NIT Warangal (8,545), NIT Warangal (8,816).

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

For OPEN Other State seats in JoSAA 2026, NIT closing ranks for Electrical ranged from 5,432 to 57,004. Home State seats closed as late as rank 8,33,130, so students from that state have more options. Treat these as a guide: cutoffs change every year.

What rank is needed for Electrical at an IIIT?

IIIT Electrical seats (All India) closed between rank 17,551 at ABV-IIITM Gwalior and 17,551 at ABV-IIITM Gwalior in JoSAA 2026 final round.

Is the Electrical cutoff higher for female candidates?

Yes. Female-only (supernumerary) seats close at later ranks: for Electrical, the typical female-only closing rank was about 1.4 times the gender-neutral one. Female candidates compete for both pools.

Does JEE Main rank give Electrical 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.
