Tier 1 — Elite IITs (Closing Rank Below 898)
These elite IITs — IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Madras, and IIT Kanpur and others — offer Electrical Engineering (Gender-Neutral) accessible only to candidates with JEE Advanced Category Ranks at or below 898. Competition here is among the most intense in Indian engineering admissions. IIT Delhi and IIT Madras and others are showing tightening competition year-over-year — meaning these seats are becoming progressively harder to secure.
