Frequently Asked Questions

IIIT Bhagalpur had the highest (most accessible) OBC-NCL closing rank for Mathematics & Computing in JoSAA 2026, at 20,740 in Round 5. Indian institute of information technology, Raichur, Karnataka was close at approximately 19,578.

With a OBC-NCL rank of ~17,172, IIIT Bhopal Mathematics & Computing (R5 closing: 16,807) is your primary borderline target. Indian Institute of Information Technology(IIIT) Kottayam (R5 closing: 17,537) represents a slightly safer option. Both should be included in your choice list, ordered by campus preference.

This is one of the most common JoSAA choice-filling dilemmas. IIITs generally carry stronger brand value and alumni networks, but top NITs have comparable placement records in Mathematics & Computing. The correct answer depends on your specific rank, target companies, and geographic preference — factors that justcutoffs.com's expert system weighs systematically.

A very small gap between opening and closing rank typically indicates a limited number of OBC-NCL seats — often just 1–2 for that specific category. When only one seat is allotted, the single candidate's rank appears as both the opening and closing rank. Always verify seat availability alongside rank data before finalising your JoSAA choice list.
