All Branches Closing Strictly Within Rank 1–1,000
Note on College Eligibility: This table only lists branches whose final closing ranks fall exactly inside this bracket. It does not mean these are your only options. If you qualify for a branch on this list, you also mathematically qualify for lower-demand branches (like Civil or Metallurgy) at the same college, which simply close at higher ranks outside this window.

Rank Bracket FAQ
What was the average rank movement between Round 1 and the Final Round for this bracket?
Historically, programs that close in this range saw an average rank relaxation of 264 ranks between the first and final rounds.
Should I choose a lower branch at a top college or a top branch (like CSE) at a newer college?
This depends on your career goals. Students in the 1 range often choose between the prestige of an IIT/NIT tag vs. the immediate job-readiness of a CSE degree at a newer IIIT.
Which college in this rank bracket recorded the most competitive cutoff?
Based on historical JoSAA data for the 1 to 1,000 range, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay held the most competitive closing rank. Its Computer Science and Engineering program was the highest-ranked seat to fall within this specific bracket.
How do 5-Year Dual Degree cutoffs compare to 4-Year B.Tech programs in this range?
Data shows that 5-Year Dual Degree (B.Tech + M.Tech) programs often have a more relaxed closing rank compared to the 4-Year B.Tech version of the same branch, allowing for a better college tag.
Is the Home State quota applicable to all college types in this rank bracket?
No. The Home State quota primarily applies to NITs and GFTIs. IITs and IIITs typically allocate seats strictly on an All India (AI) basis.
How are seats allocated for reserved categories (OBC/SC/ST/EWS) in this range?
The ranks on this page are for General CRL. Reserved category seats are allocated using Category Ranks, which are significantly more relaxed than these CRL numbers.
What percentage of seats in this rank range require a Home State quota?
In the previous counseling cycle, approximately 8% of the programs appearing in this rank bracket were allocated under the Home State (HS) quota.
Are Computer Science (CSE) seats available within this rank bracket?
Historically, there were 15 unique programs offering CSE or allied technology branches that closed within the 1 to 1,000 range.
