IIT Bhubaneshwar cutoff 2026 has been declared for round 1 regarding admission to the MSc course. For the General AI category, the closing ranks varied between 115 and 789. 

If you attained rank is above 789, you can also consider other colleges which have slightly more lenient cutoffs, like IIT Palakkad. Refer to the table below to know the cutoff for this college. 

Note: This is the cutoff for the General AI category, other categories will have different cutoffs.

The IIT Bhilai Jam Cutoff 2024 has been released for Round 2. The most competitive course was M.Sc in Mathematics and Computing, with the Cutoff of 511, with the General AI category candidates. For the OBC AI category candidates, the Cutoff stood at 666. 

If the Cutoff rank is more than 511, there is no scope for admission to IITs for M.Sc in Mathematics and Computing.  

We all know that for General (Gen, Ews, Obc) the percentage of 12th is 75%   while for others (SC, St, Pwd) the 12th percentage is kept to be a minimum of 65%. So the students of PWD with 50% in the 12th board exams are not able to get admission to IIT. 

It is based on the requirement set by the IIT which is updated on time to time basis. If you secured 75% marks in 12th CBSE then you shall not face any problem in getting admission into IIT but for the placement opportunities it depends on company policies . Generally top companies prefer students who have secured more than 80% in class 12 but some companies also prefer the students who have secured more than 70% marks in class 12.

No, following the completion of the sixth round of seat distribution, there won't be a spot round at any of the IITs. Based on their rankings in the JEE Mian 2024 or JEE Advanced exam, each candidate will be assigned seats and courses at participating institutes. Online access to the JoSAA seat allocation result will be provided following each counselling. 

All the NITs/IITs do have state quota. The reservations are 50 percent seats to the home state quota students and the remaining 50 perecent seats are with the students of other states. These reservations are based on the state of residence not on the 12th percentage of the students, that means student might need to present his/her domicile while filling the forms for respective IITs/NITs.

It is never a given that an IIT's JEE Advanced question paper will follow the same format or have the same degree of difficulty. One of the most often-asked questions about the JEE Advanced exam is also a myth. The pattern and design of the question paper are independent of the IIT being conducted. 

Yes, you must apply for JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) counselling if you wish to gain admission to the participating schools (IITs, NITs, IIITs, and other GFTIs) and you have qualified for JEE Advanced 2024 or JEE Main 2024. For all participating institutions, JoSAA is in charge of the centralised counselling and seat allocation procedure, which is dependent on the candidates' ranks in either JEE Main or JEE Advanced 2024. JoSAA is used for the whole admissions process, which includes seat assignment, acceptance, and reporting to the designated institute.
