Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering Cutoff Across All NITs — EWS (Gender-Neutral) | JoSAA 2025 Complete Rankings

NIT Goa had the highest (most accessible) EWS closing rank for Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering in JoSAA 2025, at 32,637 in Round 6. NIT Nagaland was close at approximately 8,004.

With a EWS rank of ~4,169, NIT Patna Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering (R6 closing: 3,959) is your primary borderline target. Dr. B R Ambedkar National Institute of Technology, Jalandhar (R6 closing: 4,379) 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 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 EWS 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.
