Chemical Engineering Cutoff Across All IITs — OBC-NCL (Female-only (including Supernumerary)) | JoSAA 2025 Complete Rankings

IIT Mandi had the highest (most accessible) OBC-NCL closing rank for Chemical Engineering in JoSAA 2025, at 9,947 in Round 6. IIT Jammu was close at approximately 9,664.

With a OBC-NCL rank of ~6,970, IIT Indore Chemical Engineering (R6 closing: 6,970) is your primary borderline target. IIT (BHU) Varanasi (R6 closing: 7,143) 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 Chemical 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.
