Tier 1 — Elite IITs (Closing Rank Below 11,937)
These elite IITs — IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Madras, and IIT Roorkee — offer Other Engineering Programs (Female-only (including Supernumerary)) accessible only to candidates with JEE Advanced Category Ranks at or below 11,937. Competition here is among the most intense in Indian engineering admissions. IIT Madras and IIT Roorkee are showing tightening competition year-over-year — meaning these seats are becoming progressively harder to secure. Notably, IIT Bombay shows an easing trend year-over-year, potentially offering a marginal window for borderline aspirants.
