Basic Sciences & Economics Programs for ST Rank 1,000–2,200 — JoSAA 2025

Showing final closing ranks from Round 6 (the most predictive round) · Category: ST · Gender: Gender-Neutral

All India / Other State (OS/AI) Quota — ST Rank 1,000–2,200

These cutoffs apply to candidates who are NOT domiciled in the institute's home state, and to all candidates for IITs (AI quota). If you do not qualify for Home State quota at a listed NIT, the OS closing rank is the benchmark for your eligibility.

Which of These Colleges Is Safest for Rank 1,000–2,200?

Tier boundaries computed against your band midpoint (1,600) using Round 6 final closing rank data. Lower rank number = more competitive.

National / Other State Quota — Tier Analysis

This analysis applies to candidates competing under OS (Other State) or AI (All India) quota — the benchmark for any candidate who is not a domicile of the listed institute's home state.

Safe Allotment (High Probability)

Tier 1 — High Probability Colleges for Rank 1,000–2,200 (OS)

Colleges where the final closing rank is at least 400+ above the band midpoint (1,600) under OS/AI quota

No colleges in the 1,000–2,200 band have a historical closing rank that makes them definitively safe for the full range under OS/AI quota. Candidates at the lower end of this band may find borderline programs accessible with a comfortable margin.

Borderline (Coin-Flip Zone)

Tier 2 — Borderline Colleges (Your Rank is In the Mix) (OS)

Colleges where the band midpoint (1,600) falls within ±400 of the final closing rank under OS/AI quota

IIT Kharagpur IIT Roorkee IIT Bombay IIT Madras IIT Bombay IIT Guwahati IIT (BHU) Varanasi IIT Bhubaneswar IIT Hyderabad IIT Indore IIT Delhi IIT Patna IIT Mandi IIT Tirupati IIT Roorkee IIT Kanpur IIT Ropar IIT (ISM) Dhanbad IIT (BHU) Varanasi IIT Kharagpur IIT Kharagpur IIT Dharwad IIT Kanpur IIT Kharagpur IIT Jodhpur IIT Patna IIT Jodhpur IIT (ISM) Dhanbad IIT Patna IIT Jammu IIT (ISM) Dhanbad IIT Dharwad

IIT Kharagpur, IIT Roorkee, IIT Bombay, IIT Madras, IIT Bombay, IIT Guwahati, IIT (BHU) Varanasi, IIT Bhubaneswar, IIT Hyderabad, IIT Indore, IIT Delhi, IIT Patna, IIT Mandi, IIT Tirupati, IIT Roorkee, IIT Kanpur, IIT Ropar, IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, IIT (BHU) Varanasi, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Dharwad, IIT Kanpur, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Jodhpur, IIT Patna, IIT Jodhpur, IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, IIT Patna, IIT Jammu, IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, IIT Dharwad are where most candidates in the 1,000–2,200 range will be competing under OS/AI quota for Basic Sciences & Economics. The final-round closing rank is the most predictive indicator for this zone — always plan against final-round data rather than Round 1. Your choice-filling order is decisive here.

Reach (Lower Probability, Worth Including)

Tier 3 — Reach Colleges (Include But Don't Anchor On) (OS)

Colleges where the opening rank under OS/AI quota is above the band midpoint (1,600)

No colleges are in the Reach zone for the 1,000–2,200 band. All listed programs sit within the Safe or Borderline range.

Home State Quota — Where Domicile Creates a Strategic Advantage

For candidates domiciled in the state of a listed NIT, the HS quota unlocks a more accessible tier of cutoffs at the same institute. This section highlights where Home State status changes the tier classification within the 1,000–2,200 band.

No NITs in this rank band have Home State (HS) quota data within the 1,000–2,200 range for ST candidates under this gender filter. OS quota applies universally for all candidates at these institutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Basic Sciences & Economics admissions for ST rank 1,000–2,200 candidates.

For ST ranks in the 1,000–2,200 range under OS quota, IIT Kharagpur Basic Sciences & Economics (final closing rank 1,006 in 2025) and IIT Roorkee (final closing rank 1,064) are the most realistic national-pool targets. See the full tiered breakdown above.

A rank of 1,600 is in the borderline zone for IIT Kharagpur Basic Sciences & Economics under OS quota (final closing rank: 1,006 in 2025). Its year-on-year trend is easing (–23.0%), which is a positive signal for candidates near the band midpoint. This rank is not definitively safe — your choice-filling order matters significantly for borderline positions.

JoSAA splits NIT seats into two quota pools: Other State (OS) — open to all candidates nationwide — and Home State (HS) — reserved for candidates who are domiciles of the state where the NIT is located. Approximately 50% of seats fall under HS quota. HS closing ranks are consistently more accessible (higher rank number) than OS closing ranks at the same college and category, often by several hundred to over a thousand ranks. If you qualify for HS quota at any NIT in your shortlist, always add both the HS and OS entries for that college to your choice list — list the HS entry above the OS entry for the same programme.

The optimal strategy for borderline ranks is to list choices in descending order of preference (best college first), not in ascending order of probability. JoSAA's allotment algorithm guarantees you the highest-ranked choice you qualify for — which means listing aspirational choices first is never 'risky.' The mistake is omitting them, listing them too low, or failing to include both HS and OS entries for the same NIT. justcutoffs.com's expert system automates this entire ordering correctly.

Trends vary by institute. Under OS quota: IIT Kharagpur is easing (–23.0% YoY); IIT Roorkee is easing (–5.5% YoY); IIT Bombay is near-stable (+0.0% YoY); IIT Madras is tightening (+6.4% YoY). See the year-on-year trend charts above, split by quota type, for a complete visual comparison.
