IIT Patna Cutoff 2026 - Check JEE Advanced, IIT JAM Cutoff Released

IIT Patna admission to its different courses depends upon securing the cutoffs in the respective entrance exams required for the particular programmes. For the BTech admission 2025, JoSAA Round 6 closing ranks was quite intense for the top tech branches such as CSE, AI & DS, and EEE, while for branches like Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Physics, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, etc., the closing ranks were quite relaxed. The same picture was observed in other courses like MTech, MSc, MBA, etc. Expect the IIT Patna 2026 cutoff to be slightly more intense than 2025, due to the increased competition.

IIT Patna JEE Advanced cutoff 2026 is anticipated to rise slightly for popular branches like CSE due to increased competition from 1.2 lakh qualifiers. General category projections assume a 3-5% rank compression; EWS and OBC may see 200-300 rank hikes. The table outlines expected closing ranks for Round 6, gender-neutral, All India quota, covering all BTech and dual-degree programmes accepting JEE Advanced.

• The 2026 competition for BTech+MTech likely intensifies with 19-26% tighter cutoffs for CSE, while for civil and chemical engineering, it may remain stable or widen by 0-8%.
• The IIT Patna BTech CSE cutoff 2026 is expected to have a 3-8% tighter cutoff, staying in a range of AIR 3100-3400.
• IIT Patna BTech ECE is likely to close at AIR 5500–6000, a modest 4–13% relaxation in competition from 2025's AIR 5300 for the General candidates.

The IIT Patna GATE 2026 cutoff for MTech is likely to rise slightly from 2025, mainly due to higher demand in computing and infrastructure-related fields. Computer Science may fall between 650–700 for the general category, while AI is projected at 640–690. The civil and mechanical engineering remain moderate, with the Civil Engineering staying around 400–440 and Mechanical around 450–500 for general candidates. Final confirmation will come through COAP 2026.

• The CSE cutoff is expected to stay in the range of AIR 650–700 for the general candidates.
• Expect around a 4–6% increase for AI & DS with AIR 640–690 for the general candidates.
• MTech Civil and Mechanical are likely to rise by 3-6% for the general candidates.

IIT Patna IIT JAM cutoff 2026 will likely rise by 4–7% across most MSc programmes as competition increases. The general category cutoff for MSc Chemistry may move to 590–640 with a 6% upward shift, while MSc Mathematics can see an AIR 550–600. The Integrated MSc–PhD Mathematics cutoff may fall between 560–610 for the general categories. SC cutoffs may rise by 3–5%, ST cutoffs by 2–4%, and EWS ranges could increase by 4–6%.

• The MSc Chemistry cutoff in 2026 for the SC and ST students can see a 2-5% rise from 2025.
• The 2026 general cutoff for MSc Physics at IIT Patna can increase by 5–7%, while for the EWS, it can be around 4–6% increase with a cutoff of 640–690.

The IIT Patna CAT 2025 cutoff is likely to stay competitive for the MBA admission 2026, with higher percentiles required for the General, EWS, and OBC-NCL categories. The institute typically looks for strong sectional balance, especially in VARC, DILR, and QA. Based on the projected ranges, candidates should aim for overall scores above 80 percentile to stay eligible, while SC and ST applicants may receive a more relaxed threshold aligned with previous admission trends.

• General: Overall 85–90 percentile with 75 (VARC), 70 (DILR), 70 (QA).
• EWS: Overall 80–85 percentile with 70 in each section (approx.).
• OBC-NCL: Overall 80–85 percentile with similar sectional cutoffs to EWS.
• SC: Overall 75–80 percentile with sectionals around 65–60.
• ST: Overall 70–75 percentile with sectionals near 60–55.

The IIT Patna cutoff trends from 2023 to 2025 reveal that getting a seat is becoming harder. For CSE, students now need much better ranks because of high demand. GATE scores for MTech in CSE stay almost the same at 650–670. For IIT JAM Maths, the cutoff changed only a little, going a bit lower in 2025. For the MBA course, the CAT cutoff may go higher because admission to IIT Patna MBA requires good marks and some work experience.

• Rising Demand in Tech Branches:
  From 2023 to 2025, getting CSE or AI&DS at IIT Patna became harder. The cutoff became 10–20% stricter, and CSE got about 13% tougher because more students want tech jobs and more people cleared the exam.
• Stable Core Engineering:
  The mechanical and civil branches did not change much. Their cutoffs moved only under 5% and stayed around 11,000–15,000 ranks, as these fields still have steady demand but not very fast growth.
• GATE Cutoffs Stayed Similar:
  For MTech CSE, GATE scores stayed almost the same (654–677), changing only 2–3%. This shows students are consistently interested in higher studies in computer science. Civil engineering saw a big drop in 2025 because of changes in government policies.
• JAM and CAT New Patterns:
  IIT JAM cutoffs for MSc courses changed by 5–10%, with Mathematics becoming a bit easier in 2025. For MBA, CAT percentiles went up to 90 by 2025 because IIT Patna started focusing more on students with good experience and different backgrounds.

The Indian Institute of Technology Patna cutoff is based on the entrances planned for the selection of candidates for the courses offered by the institution. It is compulsory for the aspiring candidates to satisfy the cutoff marks, as, it is the minimum marks that need to be secured by the candidates planning to take admission in IIT Patna. These marks will be released on the official site of the respective entrances. It is important that the candidates know about the entrances that they need to give in order to take admission in the B.Tech, M.Tech and M.Sc courses offered by the institution.

These entrances include JEE Main, JEE Advanced, GATE, and JAM. The IIT Patna cut-offs for these entrances are declared after the declaration of the result of these entrances. The result declaration is an effective parameter for setting up the cutoffs keeping in mind the availability of the seats in the institution. Other parameters of configuring the cutoffs include difficulty level of the entrances conducted and the total number of test-takers successfully appearing for the test. It is recommended that the candidates score a minimum of 75% to 80% marks in the entrances so that their selection through the entrances may become easy and they may go further with other admission procedures to claim a seat in their desired course.
