Frequently Asked Questions

National Institute of Technology, Mizoram had the highest (most accessible) OBC-NCL closing rank for Mathematics & Computing in JoSAA 2026, at 14,987 in Round 5. NIT Agartala was close at approximately 14,159.

With a OBC-NCL rank of ~4,284, Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology, Surat Mathematics & Computing (R5 closing: 4,151) is your primary borderline target. National Institute of Technology, Kurukshetra (R5 closing: 4,418) 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. NITs generally carry stronger brand value and alumni networks, but top IIITs 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.
