JoSAA NIT Cutoff Opening and Closing Ranks 2026

JoSAA NIT Cutoff 2026: Check here the JoSAA NIT cutoff ranks, including the opening and closing ranks for each NIT. Admissions to NITs are determined by the ranks achieved in the JEE Main 2026 exam. All available seats are distributed through the JoSAA counselling seat allotment process. However, the allotment of seats will rely on several factors, including the total number of seats, the number of applicants for a particular branch, the candidate’s category, and the courses and institutions selected by the candidate during the JoSAA 2026 choice filling process, among others. In this article, we will explore the JoSAA cutoff 2026 for all NITs after each counselling round.

  • The JoSAA NIT closing rank for 2026 indicates the lowest rank at which an NIT concludes its admission process in each round of JoSAA.
  • On the other hand, the JoSAA NIT opening rank for 2026 signifies the highest rank at which an NIT starts the admission procedure.
Whether Seat Is Allotted Or Not, Here's What To Do Next.

After JoSAA seat allotment, candidates must decide whether to Freeze, Float, or Slide their allotted seat. Understanding rank movement trends and upgrade possibilities can help you make an informed choice before the next round.

Q&A Icon
Commonly asked questions
Q:   Can I get NIT with 95 percentile in JEE Main?
A: 

With 95 percentile in JEE Mains, your chances of getting into a NIT are high, but high-demand courses may not be available.

Q:   Is a domicile Certificate required for admission to NITs?
A: 

Candidates do not need to present a domicile certificate in order to be admitted to IIT, NIT, or IIIT via JEE. The only university where admission is granted based on the Home State Quota is NIT. The state in which you take your 12th board test is used to determine admission, not your home state. When receiving JoSAA counselling, the domicile certificate is not necessary. The JEE score of the applicants determines their admission.

Q:   What is the JEE Advanced closing rank for IIT?
A: 

The JEE Advanced closing rank for IITs differs. The cutoff ranks will vary for each of the 23 IITs based on their courses, seats offered and various other factors.

Q:   Where to check JoSAA cutoff?
A: 

Candidates can check the JoSAA cutoff on the official website - josaa.nic.in.
