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 Palakkad 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.
