Search admission cutoffs for IITs, NITs, IIITs, GFTIs, DTU, NSUT, IGDTUW, IIIT Delhi and DSEU. Compare opening and closing ranks by institute, branch, category, quota, gender pool, year and counselling round.
A qualifying cutoff is the minimum score or percentile required to remain eligible for the next stage of the examination. It is not the rank needed for a particular college or branch.
An admission cutoff is the rank at which a seat was allotted in a specific counselling combination. The explorer keeps these systems separate: JoSAA IIT rows use JEE Advanced ranks, JoSAA NIT/IIIT/GFTI rows use JEE Main ranks, and JAC Delhi rows use the rank system reported by the source.
Closing ranks move when seat capacity, branch availability, candidate preferences, category distribution or counselling upgrades change. Compare multiple years and rounds instead of treating one closing rank as a promise.
What is the difference between a qualifying cutoff and an admission cutoff?
A qualifying cutoff is the minimum percentile or marks needed to qualify for the next stage. An admission cutoff is the opening or closing rank at which seats were actually allotted through JoSAA or JAC Delhi.
Which rank should I use for IIT cutoffs?
Use your JEE Advanced rank list that matches the row: OPEN uses CRL, while EWS, OBC-NCL, SC and ST rows use the corresponding category rank. Always match the category and gender pool.
Which rank should I use for NIT and IIIT cutoffs?
NIT, IIIT and GFTI admission through JoSAA uses JEE Main ranks. NIT results also depend on Home State or Other State quota, so select the correct quota before comparing.
Are historical cutoffs a guarantee of admission?
No. Historical cutoffs are decision-support evidence. Seat capacity, preferences, eligibility, counselling choices and round-to-round upgrades can change the closing rank each year.
