Frequently Asked Questions

IIT Ropar had the highest (most accessible) OPEN closing rank for Other Engineering Programs in JoSAA 2025, at 23,540 in Round 6. IIT (BHU) Varanasi was close at approximately 22,996.

With a OPEN rank of ~13,282, IIT Guwahati Other Engineering Programs (R6 closing: 13,282) is your primary borderline target. IIT Kharagpur (R6 closing: 16,930) 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. IITs generally carry stronger brand value and alumni networks, but top NITs have comparable placement records in Other Engineering Programs. 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 OPEN 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.
