About Engineering Physics
Physics with engineering: optics, semiconductors, quantum devices and computation. It suits students aiming for research and higher studies.
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 Engineering Physics?
Engineering Physics at NIT Calicut closed first, at rank 10,012 for OPEN Other State seats in JoSAA 2026 final round. It is followed by NIT Rourkela (14,218), MNIT Jaipur (18,979), VNIT Nagpur (21,741).
What JEE Main rank is needed for Engineering Physics at an NIT?
For OPEN Other State seats in JoSAA 2026, NIT closing ranks for Engineering Physics ranged from 10,012 to 54,125. Home State seats closed as late as rank 3,71,354, so students from that state have more options. Treat these as a guide: cutoffs change every year.
What rank is needed for Engineering Physics at an IIIT?
IIIT Engineering Physics seats (All India) closed between rank 40,832 at IIITDM Kancheepuram and 40,832 at IIITDM Kancheepuram in JoSAA 2026 final round.
Is the Engineering Physics cutoff higher for female candidates?
Yes. Female-only (supernumerary) seats close at later ranks: for Engineering Physics, 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 Engineering Physics 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.
