Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering Cutoff Across All GFTIs — OBC-NCL (Gender-Neutral) | JoSAA 2025 Complete Rankings

Gurukula Kangri Vishwavidyalaya, Haridwar had the highest (most accessible) OBC-NCL closing rank for Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering in JoSAA 2025, at 35,845 in Round 6. School of Studies of Engineering and Technology, Guru Ghasidas Vishwavidyalaya, Bilaspur was close at approximately 35,496.

With a OBC-NCL rank of ~25,997, Birla Institute of Technology, Patna Off-Campus Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering (R6 closing: 25,813) is your primary borderline target. Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University, Katra, Jammu & Kashmir (R6 closing: 26,182) 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. GFTIs generally carry stronger brand value and alumni networks, but top NITs have comparable placement records in Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering. 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.
