No, for the OBC category students, the maximum cutoff rank for CSE admission was 1454 in 2025. In the initial rounds, the cutoff ranks were more competitive for admission. So, students seeking admission to IIT Mandi must target securing a rank of up to 1400 to improve their chances of getting admission to the CSE branch. However, with a cutoff rank of 3000, other BTech branches are available for admission. Check out the table below for other branch options for the OBC AI category students. CourseJEE Advanced Last Round Cutoff 2025 B.Tech. in Electrical Engineering3288B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering4165B.Tech. in General Engineering4674B.Tech. in Engineering Physics4854B.Tech. in Civil Engineering5093B.Tech in Material Science and Engineering5451B.Tech. in Bio Engineering5772B.Sc in Chemical Sciences6092 

For 2025, the IIT Mandi JEE Advanced cutoff ranged between 3123 and 17491 for BTech admission across multiple specialisations. This is the cutoff range during the last round for the students belonging to the General AI quota. . Tabulated below is the IIT Mandi branch-wise cutoff 2025 for the last round for the General AI category. CourseLast Round Cutoff 2025 (Closing Rank)B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering3123B.Tech. in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence3928B.Tech in Mathematics and Computing4285B.Tech in Microelectronics & VLSI6166B.Tech. in Electrical Engineering7590B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering10267B.Tech. in General Engineering11034B.Tech. in Engineering Physics12110B.Tech. in Civil Engineering14274B.Tech in Material Science and Engineering14368B.Tech. in Bio Engineering14879

For the General AI quota, the IIT Mandi CSE cutoff for 2025 ranged between 3087 and 3123. For IIT Patna, the cutoff range was between 3215 and 3377. Similarly, for IIT Ropar, the cutoff ranged from 2357 to 2512. Therefore, considering these ranges, the IIT Mandi cutoff for CSE was comparatively more competitive for admission among engineering aspirants compared to IIT Patna, while it was less competitive than IIT Ropar, which had a more stringent cutoff for CSE admission.

For the General AI quota, the IIT Ropar CSE cutoff 2025 ranged between 2357 and 2512. For IIT Patna, the cutoff range was between 3215 and 3377. Similarly, for IIT Mandi, the cutoff range was between 3087 and 3123 in the General category. So, considering the cutoff range, the IIT Ropar cutoff for CSE was comparatively more competitive for admission among the Engineering aspirants as compared to that of IIT Patna and IIT Mandi, as they have relaxed cutoffs for BTech admission.

If you belong to the General AI quota, the JEE Advanced cutoff ranks varied between 3123 and 14274 for core branches, including CSE, Civil, Chemical, etc. For the core branches, mostly the cutoffs are on the higher side for admission. Candidates seeking admission to core branches must target securing a cutoff rank of up to 14000 to improve their chances of admission at IIT Mandi.
