Tier 1 — Elite IITs (Closing Rank Below 838)
These elite IITs — IIT Delhi, IIT Madras, IIT Bombay, and IIT Hyderabad and others — offer Computer Science & Software Engineering (Female-only (including Supernumerary)) accessible only to candidates with JEE Advanced Category Ranks at or below 838. Competition here is among the most intense in Indian engineering admissions. IIT Hyderabad is showing tightening competition year-over-year — meaning these seats are becoming progressively harder to secure. Notably, IIT Delhi and IIT Madras and others show an easing trend year-over-year, potentially offering a marginal window for borderline aspirants.
