No seats in this combination.
2026 closing ranks, final JoSAA round. ▲ means the branch closed at a larger rank than in 2025, so it was easier to get.
Reading these numbers
- Closing rank is the last rank admitted to that branch in the final round. If your rank is below it, you were in range last year.
- Home State quota applies if IIT Kanpur is in your state of eligibility; everyone else competes under Other State. IITs use All India only.
- Cutoffs move every year with paper difficulty and applicant numbers. Treat them as a guide, not a guarantee.
