Which IIITs Are Realistic for Your Rank? Computer Science & Software Engineering OBC-NCL Tier Analysis

Elite

Tier 1 — Elite IIITs (Closing Rank Below 9,737)

Closing ranks: 3,546 – 9,721

These elite IIITs — IIIT Lucknow, Atal Bihari Vajpayee IIIT & Management Gwalior, Pt. Dwarka Prasad Mishra Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design & Manufacture Jabalpur, and Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design & Manufacturing, Kancheepuram and others — offer Computer Science & Software Engineering (Gender-Neutral) accessible only to candidates with JEE Main Category Ranks at or below 9,737. Competition here is among the most intense in Indian engineering admissions. IIIT (IIIT), Sri City, Chittoor is showing tightening competition year-over-year — meaning these seats are becoming progressively harder to secure. Notably, Atal Bihari Vajpayee IIIT & Management Gwalior and Pt. Dwarka Prasad Mishra Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design & Manufacture Jabalpur and others show an easing trend year-over-year, potentially offering a marginal window for borderline aspirants.
