Q:   As an OBC AI category candidate, can I get admission into IIT Delhi with 7000 rank in JEE advanced?
A:

IIT Delhi OBC cutoff 2025 for JEE Advanced is yet to be released. However, during the last round cutoff in 2024, the JEE Advanced closing ranks for BTech admission varied between 89 and 3185 in the All India quota. In the first round, the cutoff ranks were more competitive for admission compared to the final round. Therefore, based on last year's cutoff ranks, a JEE Advanced rank of 7000 does not allow for admission at IIT Delhi for any BTech or Integrated BTech courses for students belonging to the OBC AI category.

A:

Yes, with a rank of 500 in JEE Advanced, you have a good chance of getting admission to IIT Delhi for BTech and Integrated BTech courses. Candidates with cutoff ranks between 102 and 574 can easily secure admission at IIT Delhi. Additionally, students with ranks higher than 500 can study BTech CSE in top IITs in India.

Q:   What has been the trend for cut off in BTech in Civil Engineering in IIT Tirupati in the last few years?
A:

The cutoff trend for BTech at IIT Tirupatihas been increasing in the recent years. In 2022, the closing rank for BTech under General category for all India quota was 15176. In 2023, it increased to 16658. Likewise, the cut off ranks have changed from 5062 to 5635 for OBC, 2497 to 2875 for SC, 952 to 1199 for ST, 2244 to 2564 for EWS. This trend is likely to continue in the coming years, as the demand for Engineering education in India continues to grow. Similar cut off trend can be seen for female candidates under all categories, however, the ranks are slightly different.
