JoSAA Cutoff 2026: JoSAA Opening & Closing Ranks for IITs, NITs, IIITs and GFTIs

The JoSAA cutoff 2026 will be released shortly after the JEE Advanced 2026 exam concludes and the results are announced. The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) will release the cutoffs online for all student categories across 5 or 6 rounds. The expected JoSAA cutoff 2026 is around 95 percentile for the general category, 90 percentile for EWS, 85 percentile for OBC, and between 55 to 65 percentile for the SC and ST categories. The JoSAA admission cutoff ranks refer to the round-wise opening and closing ranks for various programmes offered by the top IITs, NITs , IIITs, and GFTIs . Multiple rounds of counselling are conducted for seat allocation based on the merit rank, category, and choices filled by the candidates.

Factors Determining JoSAA Cutoff 2026

Several factors influence the JoSAA opening and closing ranks in JoSAA counselling. These factors include:

• Total number of seats: The number of available seats in a particular program or institution affects the opening and closing ranks. If there are fewer seats, the closing rank tends to be higher.

• Number of applicants: The total number of candidates applying for a specific program or institution impacts the opening and closing ranks. Higher competition among a larger pool of applicants can result in lower closing ranks.

• Reservation categories: Reservation categories such as SC (Scheduled Caste), ST (Scheduled Tribe), OBC (Other Backwards Classes), and EWS (Economically Weaker Section) have separate seat quotas. The opening and closing ranks can vary for each category based on the number of seats available and the number of applicants in each category.

• Performance of candidates: The performance of candidates in the entrance examinations (such as JEE Main 2026 and JEE Advanced ) plays a crucial role in determining the opening and closing ranks. Higher scores typically lead to lower ranks and vice versa.

• Preferences of candidates: Candidates have the opportunity to select their preferred programs and institutions during the counselling process. The opening and closing ranks can be influenced by the choices made by the candidates. If a popular program or institution is chosen by many candidates with high ranks, the closing rank may be lower.

JoSAA 2026 Cutoff: How to check opening and closing rank?

Candidates who apply for JoSAA counselling 2026 will be able to check the JoSAA opening and closing ranks 2026 by following a few steps. The steps to check the JoSAA 2026 cutoff have been mentioned below.
