What is the cutoff rank for IIT?

The cutoff ranks for the IIT-JEE exams vary each year and depend on factors such as the difficulty level of the exam, the number of candidates appearing, and the availability of seats in the participating institutes. However, I can provide you with some general information about the cutoff ranks for different categories based on previous years:

General Category: The cutoff rank for the general category is typically the highest among all categories. It can vary widely depending on the year and the specific IIT.

OBC-NCL Category: The cutoff rank for the Other Backward Classes-Non Creamy Layer (OBC-NCL) category is usually lower than that of the general category but higher than that of the SC and ST categories.

SC Category: The cutoff rank for the Scheduled Caste (SC) category is lower than that of the general and OBC-NCL categories, reflecting the reservation policy aimed at providing opportunities to candidates from historically disadvantaged backgrounds.

ST Category: The cutoff rank for the Scheduled Tribe (ST) category is typically the lowest among all categories, reflecting the highest level of reservation and affirmative action for candidates belonging to tribal communities.

These cutoff ranks provide a general idea of the trends in recent years. However, it’s essential to note that the cutoffs can vary significantly from year to year based on various factors, and candidates should aim to score as high as possible to maximize their chances of securing admission to their desired IITs and courses. Additionally, cutoff ranks may vary for different IITs and branches within each category.

For the most accurate and up-to-date information on cutoff ranks, candidates should refer to the official websites of the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) and the respective IITs, which release detailed cutoff ranks and other admission-related information after the conclusion of the examination and counseling processes.
