Which IIITs Are Realistic for Your Rank? Computer Science & Software Engineering OPEN Tier Analysis

Elite

Tier 1 — Elite IIITs (Closing Rank Below 25,863)

Closing ranks: 8,888 – 25,246

These elite IIITs — Atal Bihari Vajpayee IIIT & Management Gwalior, IIIT Lucknow, 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 25,863. 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, Pt. Dwarka Prasad Mishra Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design & Manufacture Jabalpur and Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design & Manufacturing, Kancheepuram and others show an easing trend year-over-year, potentially offering a marginal window for borderline aspirants.
