Frequently Asked Questions

IIT Indore had the highest (most accessible) OBC-NCL closing rank for Aerospace & Aviation Engineering in JoSAA 2025, at 2,696 in Round 6. IIT Kharagpur was close at approximately 2,202.

With a OBC-NCL rank of ~1,868, IIT Kanpur Aerospace & Aviation Engineering (R6 closing: 1,868) is your primary borderline target. IIT Kharagpur (R6 closing: 2,202) represents a slightly safer option. Both should be included in your choice list, ordered by campus preference.

This is one of the most common JoSAA choice-filling dilemmas. IITs generally carry stronger brand value and alumni networks, but top NITs have comparable placement records in Aerospace & Aviation Engineering. The correct answer depends on your specific rank, target companies, and geographic preference — factors that justcutoffs.com's expert system weighs systematically.

A very small gap between opening and closing rank typically indicates a limited number of OBC-NCL seats — often just 1–2 for that specific category. When only one seat is allotted, the single candidate's rank appears as both the opening and closing rank. Always verify seat availability alongside rank data before finalising your JoSAA choice list.
