Chennai Institute of Technology Cutoff 2026

CIT Chennai follows TNEA counselling for B.E./B.Tech admissions, with cutoffs calculated from normalized Class 12 PCM marks (Maths + Physics/2 + Chemistry/2). In 2025, B.E. Computer Science and Engineering closed at 175 marks for OC category, B.Tech Artificial Intelligence & Data Science at 170, and B.E. ECE at 165. The college filled 84.53% seats in the first round, with an overall average cutoff of 178 marks.

For 2026, cutoffs are expected to ease slightly to 170–180 for CSE (OC) due to increased seat intake and stable applicant numbers. Reserved categories enjoy 5–20 mark relaxations: BC typically 10 marks higher, SC around 10–15 marks lower than OC.

CIT’s cutoffs remain competitive yet accessible compared to other Chennai colleges, especially with INR 50,000 annual merit quota fee and strong 95.7% placement record. Students scoring 195+ in PCM have a high chance of securing top branches like CSE, AI&DS, and IT. Official cutoff lists are published after each TNEA round on the college website.
