Other Engineering Programs Cutoff Across All NITs — SC (Gender-Neutral) | JoSAA 2025 Complete Rankings

Dr. B R Ambedkar National Institute of Technology, Jalandhar had the highest (most accessible) SC closing rank for Other Engineering Programs in JoSAA 2025, at 8,541 in Round 6. National Institute of Technology, Kurukshetra was close at approximately 264.

With a SC rank of ~220, Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology, Nagpur Other Engineering Programs (R6 closing: 220) is your primary borderline target. NIT Hamirpur (R6 closing: 231) 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 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 SC 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.
