How to read this
Closing rank is the last rank that got a seat in that institute and branch. Opens R3 means it was out of reach in round 1 and came within reach by round 3 — those are the ones where floating rather than freezing decides the outcome. A branch with no tag was within reach from round 1.
Click any row for the closing rank in each of the five rounds. A branch whose rank barely moves is one where round 1 is effectively the answer; one that drifts a long way rewards waiting.
One year of data, and cutoffs move. A branch that closed at 15,000 in 2026 might close at 12,000 or 19,000 next year, depending on how many people apply, how the paper goes and how everyone else fills their choices.
Use this to understand the shape of your options and how much room tends to open up between rounds. Treat any single number as history, not as a cutoff to plan against.
What's in here, and what isn't
Covered: JoSAA 2026, all five rounds, 136 institutes across the IITs, NITs, IIITs and GFTIs, with every category, quota and seat pool. Your home state sets the home-state quota automatically at NITs and GFTIs — you never need to work out AI, HS or OS yourself.
Not covered yet: CSAB special rounds, state counselling, private universities, and anything NEET. Preparatory-course seats are left out on purpose — they're ranked on a separate list that can't be compared with the main one, so including them would quietly mislead you.
What the data can't tell you is which option is right. Fees, distance, bonds and what you actually want to study aren't in here — that's where we come in.
