IIT Madras Cutoff 2026: Check JEE Advanced, IIT JAM Cutoff

The expected cutoff for IIT Madras BTech admissions in 2026 is likely to stay competitive across all major branches, with Computer Science remaining the most selective with an estimated closing rank of AIR 160, followed by Electrical and Mechanical Engineering with AIR 780 and AIR 2200, respectively. Civil and chemical engineering may see comparatively relaxed ranks but still demand strong performance in JEE Advanced due to high overall competition. 

• Expect 8% tightening overall throughout the branches for the general category.
• Chemical Engineering is likely to end near AIR 3700.
• CSE and AI branches face maximum pressure from tech sector demand.

Based on recent JoSAA patterns, the expected cutoff for IIT Madras B.Tech + M.Tech dual degree programmes in 2026 is likely to remain moderately competitive. Aerospace Engineering may open around AIR 2200–2300 and close near AIR 2650–2750, while Engineering Design is expected to start around AIR 800–900 and close near AIR 3200–3300. These ranges reflect steady demand for dual degree options, offering students a balance of strong technical training and long-term academic pathways.

• Cutoff trends suggest stable competition levels

IIT Madras MSc cutoffs for 2026 are expected to stay competitive, with the General category closing ranks likely to stay at 162 for Physics, based on last year’s JAM trends. Chemistry may close near 185 due to strong demand.

• For IIT Madras admission to MSc Mathematics, the IIT JAM cutoff can be around 125 in 2026.
• Eligibility: B.Sc. with 50% for reserved categories.

With more candidates expected in GATE 2026, the IIT Madras MTech cutoff is likely to rise slightly. The IIT Madras GATE cutoff for CSE may close near 810 for the OBC category, while general scores may settle around 890. These changes suggest that students should aim for a 700+ score to stay ahead.

• The IIT Madras GATE cutoff 2026 for top branches may stay competitive, with Aerospace expected around 760 and Electrical Engineering near 710 for the General category.
• OBC-NCL cutoffs at IIT Madras may range from 555 to 790, with Engineering Design seeing the highest expected score due to strong demand.
• DSAI is expected to close at 875.

The CAT cutoff for IIT Madras in 2025 is expected to stay high, with a noticeable gap between General, EWS, and OBC/SC/ST categories. The General category is likely to see shortlisting starting around the 97 percentile, which is roughly 3–4 percentile points higher than EWS and over 10 percentile points higher than OBC/SC/ST. Despite the difference in overall percentile, the sectional cutoff remains the same for all with a minimum cutoff of 50 percentile.

• EWS is expected around 93 percentile, slightly lower but still competitive due to limited seats.
• OBC/SC/ST candidates may see shortlisting closer to 86 percentile, showing a gap of 11 percentile points compared to General.
• Sectional cutoffs remain fixed at 50 for every category, reflecting IIT Madras' focus on consistency across all sections.

IIT Madras cutoff trends from 2023 to 2025 show a slow but clear shift in competition levels across major branches. In highly demanded programmes such as Computer Science and Engineering, IIT Madras cutoff ranks have moved to slightly higher closing positions, indicating a mild relaxation as seats increased and more students explored alternative tech domains. At the same time, new-age programmes have tightened sharply. For example, in Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics, the cutoff dropped from around 415 in 2024 to nearly 292 in 2025, showing how fast these specializations are rising in demand. Core branches like Civil Engineering and Naval Architecture continue to have higher closing ranks, reflecting comparatively lower competition, while central disciplines such as Mechanical and Electrical still require strong percentile scores. Overall, the cutoff trend at IIT Madras suggests growing interest in modern AI-centric fields and a steady but manageable competition curve across traditional engineering areas.

• CSE Dominance Persists: The closing rank for Computer Science rose modestly from 144 in 2023 to 171 in 2025, yet it remains the most sought-after program, requiring ranks within the top 0.1% of JEE Advanced qualifiers.
• Electrical Engineering Stability: Fluctuating between 808 and 908 across years, this branch shows consistent appeal, closing lower in 2025 due to increased seats and balanced competition.
• Emerging Branches Gain Traction: AI and Data Analytics, introduced recently, saw its cutoff improve dramatically to 292 in 2025, rivaling established tech programs.
• Core Disciplines Accessible: Branches like Civil Engineering (around 5500-5800) and Naval Architecture (over 7000) provide entry points for mid-tier ranks, reflecting diverse engineering interests.
