Tier 1 — Elite IITs (Closing Rank Below 673)
These elite IITs — IIT Bombay, IIT Madras, IIT Delhi, and IIT Kanpur and others — offer Computer Science & Software Engineering (Female-only (including Supernumerary)) accessible only to candidates with JEE Advanced Category Ranks at or below 673. Competition here is among the most intense in Indian engineering admissions. IIT Bombay and IIT Madras and others are showing tightening competition year-over-year — meaning these seats are becoming progressively harder to secure.
