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

All India / Other State (OS/AI) Quota — OPEN Rank 65,000–75,000

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.

Home State (HS) Quota — OPEN Rank 65,000–75,000

These cutoffs apply ONLY to candidates who are domiciles of the state where the NIT is located. HS closing ranks are consistently more accessible than OS closing ranks at the same institute. If you qualify for HS quota at any NIT listed here, your effective eligibility is significantly wider.

How it works: JoSAA reserves approximately 50% of NIT seats under Home State quota for candidates domiciled in the institute's state. A candidate with a OPEN rank at the upper end of the 65,000–75,000 band may be out of contention under OS quota but comfortably inside the HS closing rank at the same NIT. Always include both the HS and OS entries for the same college in your choice list.

Which of These Colleges Is Safest for Rank 65,000–75,000?

Tier boundaries computed against your band midpoint (70,000) 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 65,000–75,000 (OS)

Colleges where the final closing rank is at least 400+ above the band midpoint (70,000) under OS/AI quota

Central University of Haryana National Institute of Electronics and Information Technology, Ajmer (Rajasthan) Central University of Punjab, Bathinda National Institute of Electronics and Information Technology, Gorakhpur (UP)

Central University of Haryana, National Institute of Electronics and Information Technology, Ajmer (Rajasthan), Central University of Punjab, Bathinda, National Institute of Electronics and Information Technology, Gorakhpur (UP) are the most reliable safe option(s) in the 65,000–75,000 band for OS/AI candidates. Candidates with ranks in the lower half of this band are comfortably inside the historical closing rank. Central University of Haryana has been easing (–18.9% YoY) — a favourable trajectory. National Institute of Electronics and Information Technology, Ajmer (Rajasthan) has been easing (–27.8% YoY) — a favourable trajectory. National Institute of Electronics and Information Technology, Gorakhpur (UP) has been easing (–17.2% YoY) — a favourable trajectory.

Borderline (Coin-Flip Zone)

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

Colleges where the band midpoint (70,000) falls within ±400 of the final closing rank under OS/AI quota

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 (70,000)

Birla Institute of Technology, Deoghar Off-Campus School of Engineering, Tezpur University, Napaam, Tezpur INDIAN INSTITUTE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SENAPATI MANIPUR INDIAN INSTITUTE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SENAPATI MANIPUR

Birla Institute of Technology, Deoghar Off-Campus, School of Engineering, Tezpur University, Napaam, Tezpur, INDIAN INSTITUTE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SENAPATI MANIPUR, INDIAN INSTITUTE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SENAPATI MANIPUR are in reach territory for most of the 65,000–75,000 band under OS/AI quota. Including them in your choice list at an appropriate position is rational — the JoSAA algorithm will consider it only if your rank qualifies, with zero downside risk. Notably, School of Engineering, Tezpur University, Napaam, Tezpur has shown an easing trend — the programme(s) may become more accessible in the coming cycle.

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 65,000–75,000 band.

NIT Puducherry under HS quota (final closing rank 65,630) is within this rank band for Puducherry domiciles, even though its OS closing rank falls outside this range entirely.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Computer Science & Software Engineering admissions for OPEN rank 65,000–75,000 candidates.

Which college is best for Computer Science & Software Engineering with OPEN rank between 65,000–75,000?

For OPEN ranks in the 65,000–75,000 range under OS quota, Birla Institute of Technology, Deoghar Off-Campus Computer Science & Software Engineering (final closing rank 65,006 in 2026) and School of Engineering, Tezpur University, Napaam, Tezpur (final closing rank 65,606) are the most realistic national-pool targets. If you are a Puducherry domicile, NIT Puducherry under HS quota (final closing rank 65,630) becomes a safer option in this band. See the full tiered breakdown above.

Is OPEN rank 70,000 safe for National Institute of Electronics and Information Technology, Patna (Bihar) Computer Science & Software Engineering under OS quota?

A rank of 70,000 is in the borderline zone for National Institute of Electronics and Information Technology, Patna (Bihar) Computer Science & Software Engineering under OS quota (final closing rank: 68,926 in 2026). Its year-on-year trend is easing (–16.5%), 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.

What is the difference between OS quota and HS quota in JoSAA for NITs?

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.

How do I decide the order of choices in JoSAA if my rank is 65,000–75,000 OPEN?

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.
