About Metallurgical and Materials Engineering

Metals, ceramics, polymers and advanced materials. Graduates work in steel and metals, manufacturing and PSUs, and the branch has strong research options.

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 Metallurgy & Materials?

Metallurgy & Materials at NIT Trichy closed first, at rank 19,641 for OPEN Other State seats in JoSAA 2026 final round. It is followed by NIT Surathkal (22,168), NIT Warangal (27,258), NIT Rourkela (27,781).

What JEE Main rank is needed for Metallurgy & Materials at an NIT?

For OPEN Other State seats in JoSAA 2026, NIT closing ranks for Metallurgy & Materials ranged from 19,641 to 61,431. Home State seats closed as late as rank 1,15,900, so students from that state have more options. Treat these as a guide: cutoffs change every year.

Is the Metallurgy & Materials cutoff higher for female candidates?

Yes. Female-only (supernumerary) seats close at later ranks: for Metallurgy & Materials, 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 Metallurgy & Materials 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.
