Closing ranks: 11,924 – 32,628
These elite GFTIs — Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh, Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur, Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra, Ranchi, and International Institute of Information Technology, Naya Raipur and others — offer Computer Science & Software Engineering (Gender-Neutral) accessible only to candidates with JEE Main Category Ranks at or below 32,923. Competition here is among the most intense in Indian engineering admissions. Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra, Ranchi is showing tightening competition year-over-year — meaning these seats are becoming progressively harder to secure. Notably, Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh and Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi show an easing trend year-over-year, potentially offering a marginal window for borderline aspirants.
