AI & Data Science Cutoff Across All IIITs — EWS (Gender-Neutral) | JoSAA 2025 Complete Rankings

IIIT Bhopal had the highest (most accessible) EWS closing rank for AI & Data Science in JoSAA 2025, at 6,768 in Round 6. Indian Institute of Information Technology(IIIT) Dharwad was close at approximately 6,116.

With a EWS rank of ~5,128, IIIT Design & Manufacturing Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh AI & Data Science (R6 closing: 5,128) is your primary borderline target. Indian institute of information technology, Raichur, Karnataka (R6 closing: 5,811) 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. IIITs generally carry stronger brand value and alumni networks, but top NITs have comparable placement records in AI & Data Science. 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 EWS 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.
