IIT Closing Ranks 2026 — Branch-Wise Cutoffs for All 23 IITs




IIT Closing Ranks 2026 — Branch-Wise Cutoffs for All 23 IITs

Branch-wise closing ranks for every IIT, from real JoSAA 2024 data — so you can map a JEE Advanced rank to a realistic IIT and branch.

Last updated: 22 May 2026 · Built from the official JoSAA 2024 opening-and-closing-rank archive

For parents: The table on this page shows the last rank that got each seat in the most recent completed counselling cycle (2024). It is the clearest reality-check available before the JEE 2026 cutoffs are published — read the row nearest your child’s expected rank.
Stay safe: Official cutoffs and seat allotments come only from josaa.nic.in. No one can “book” or “guarantee” a seat for a fee — admission is strictly by rank through counselling.
IIT admission runs on your JEE Advanced rank, and the table below shows where each of the 23 IITs closed its core branches in the 2024 final round. CSE at the older IITs is the tightest cutoff in the country; core branches and newer IITs close considerably later, which is where a balanced choice list finds its seats.

Key takeaways

  • IIT seats are filled on the JEE Advanced rank, not the JEE Main rank.
  • CSE at the older IITs (Bombay, Delhi, Madras, Kanpur) closes within the top few hundred to ~2,500 ranks.
  • Core branches — Mechanical, Civil, Chemical — close much later than CSE at the same IIT.
  • Newer IITs close every branch later than the established ones — useful for a wider rank band.

Source: JoSAA 2024 Round 5 (final round) opening-and-closing-rank archive, josaa.nic.in. These are the most recent completed-cycle figures. The official JEE 2026 closing ranks are generated during JoSAA counselling from 2 June 2026 — this page will be refreshed then. Figures are for OPEN category, Gender-Neutral seats unless stated; a dash means no seat was recorded for that branch in this round.

How to Read This Table

Read across a row to compare branches within one IIT, and down a column to compare the same branch across IITs. The gap between CSE and the core branches at a single IIT is often several thousand ranks — so if CSE at a top IIT is out of reach, the same IIT may still be very much open in Electrical, Mechanical or Civil.

Use the IIT Predictor to turn your JEE Advanced rank into a personalised Safe / Target / Reach list, and the Cutoff Explorer to see how each cutoff moved round by round.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the closing rank for IIT CSE in 2024?
In JoSAA 2024 Round 5, CSE at the older IITs — Bombay, Delhi, Madras, Kanpur — closed within roughly the top few hundred to about 2,500 ranks on the JEE Advanced Common Rank List for OPEN, Gender-Neutral seats. The branch-wise table on this page lists every IIT.
Which rank is used for IIT admission?
The JEE Advanced rank. Only candidates in the JEE Advanced rank list are eligible for IIT seats through JoSAA. NITs, IIITs and GFTIs use the JEE Main rank instead.
Can I get an IIT with a rank beyond 10,000?
Yes — core branches at the newer IITs and some branches at the established IITs close well beyond 10,000 on the JEE Advanced rank. The table on this page shows the actual 2024 closing ranks so you can see what is realistic.
Are these the 2026 IIT closing ranks?
No — these are the verified 2024 final-round figures. The 2026 closing ranks are generated during JoSAA counselling from 2 June 2026. Use 2024 as a strong reference and confirm against the official 2026 data.
