To take any of these seats you also need 75% in Class 12 (65% for SC, ST and PwD) or a place in your board's top 20 percentile. The list follows the 2026 seat matrix; new 2027 institutes and branches are added when JoSAA publishes the 2027 seat matrix. B.Arch and B.Planning outside the IITs use the Paper 2 rank, so they aren't included.
JoSAA Premium includes the Smart List, a one-on-one review of your list by Er Deepak Kumar, our counselling expert, guided by MS Salim Sir (IIT BHU), and WhatsApp support through every JoSAA and CSAB round. Only 40 seats. See Premium →
Real result
Against 2025 cutoffs, IIT Delhi Mechanical closed at AIR 1,862, so his rank made it a Reach choice. In 2026 it closed at 2,131 in Round 1 and he got the seat. That's why Reach choices belong at the top of your list: about a third of them come through.
Most college predictors compare your rank with last year's closing rank and stop there. We built ours the way a careful counsellor works, then tested it on four years of real JoSAA results before offering it to you.
We hid the 2025 and 2026 results, predicted them from earlier years, then checked what actually happened to nearly 21,000 seats and 1,600 simulated students across every category.
Every student in our test got a seat from their Smart List.
Your backup seats. Almost certain.
The chances we showed matched the real results within 1 point.
A Reach choice is your chance to move up. JoSAA always gives you the highest choice on your list that your rank can get, so a Reach choice that doesn't come through costs you nothing: your Likely and Safe choices are still waiting below it. Skip your Reach choices and you give up those seats for nothing. Ishaan's IIT Delhi seat was a Reach choice.
Checked against official JoSAA results from 2023 to 2026, and we publish the numbers. Most predictors show no test at all.
Cutoffs often bounce back after a year of moving. So we compare your rank with the tougher of the last two closing ranks, which made Safe predictions more reliable than using last year alone.
See the 2026, 2025 and 2024 closing ranks side by side, so you can judge the trend for each seat yourself.
Seats that swing a lot from year to year (PwD seats, or seats closing under 1,000) and new seats with one year of data are flagged, and called Safe only when your rank is far inside the closing rank.
CRL rank for open seats, category rank for category seats, PwD ranks for PwD seats, female-only seats for girls, Home State or Other State quota from your state, and the Goa, J&K and Ladakh quotas.
Have both ranks? Enter both. IITs and IISc are checked with your JEE Advanced rank, the rest with your JEE Main rank, in one list, just like the JoSAA portal.
Reach first, then Likely, then Safe, so you never lose a better seat to a lower choice. Within each group, your branch and city preferences come first.
Tap branches in the order you want. Add cities or states and put them first, or show only those.
Even a short list keeps enough Safe choices, and we warn you if you have fewer than 10.
Every number is from the official JoSAA tables: all 2026 rounds plus the final rounds of 2023, 2024 and 2025. 138 institutes, 13,292 seat rows. Nothing estimated.
Before every update, we test the checker against 443 real seats from the official tables, covering every category, quota, gender and PwD seat type.

P = preparatory rank. Ranks for OPEN seats are CRL ranks; reserved seats use category ranks.
After JEE Advanced results, register on the JoSAA portal and fill your choices: institute and branch pairs in the order you want them. You can change the order until choice locking.
JoSAA runs several rounds. In each round you get the highest choice your rank allows, based on that round's closing ranks.
Freeze: accept the seat and stop. Float: keep the seat but stay in the race for a higher choice anywhere. Slide: keep the seat but only move to a better branch in the same institute.
Accept the seat, pay the seat acceptance fee and upload documents before the deadline in every round, or the seat is cancelled. Seats left after JoSAA go to CSAB special rounds for NITs, IIITs and GFTIs.
Early-bird price. It goes up to ₹999 when JEE Main Session 1 results are out.

The official JoSAA counselling 2027 dates are not out yet. JoSAA usually starts a day or two after the JEE Advanced result, so expect registration in early June 2027. In 2026, registration and choice filling ran from 2 to 11 June and the final round was allotted on 16 July. Check josaa.nic.in for the official 2027 schedule.
JoSAA 2026 had five rounds. Registration and choice filling: 2 to 11 June. Mock allotments: 8 and 10 June. Round 1: 13 June. Round 2: 30 June. Round 3: 6 July. Round 4: 10 July. Round 5 (final): 16 July. NIT+ partial admission fee: 22 to 24 July. Expect the JoSAA counselling 2027 schedule to follow a similar pattern.
Go to josaa.nic.in when registration opens and log in with your JEE Main application number and password. Fill in your choices of institutes and branches in order of preference, then lock them before the deadline. Registration and choice filling are free. Use the Smart List to get your choices in the right order before you start.
There is no fee to register or fill choices. When you accept a seat, you pay the seat acceptance fee: in 2026 it was Rs 30,000 for General, EWS and OBC-NCL candidates and Rs 15,000 for SC, ST and PwD candidates. Candidates with an NIT, IIIT or GFTI seat also paid a partial admission fee after the last round: Rs 45,000 (General, EWS, OBC-NCL) or Rs 20,000 (SC, ST). Check the JoSAA 2027 brochure for this year's amounts.
JoSAA publishes its official information brochure and business rules as PDFs on josaa.nic.in, usually in late May or early June. For your own college list as a PDF, open the Smart List and use "Print or save as PDF".
Right on this page. Use the cutoff explorer above to see the official JoSAA 2026 opening and closing ranks for every institute, branch, category, quota and gender, for every round, with 2025 final-round ranks for comparison.
Every number comes from the official JoSAA Opening and Closing Rank tables published on josaa.admissions.nic.in: 2026, all rounds, plus the final rounds of 2023, 2024 and 2025.
Each option in the Smart List shows your chance of getting it. Safe (90% or better) are your backup seats. Likely (60 to 89%) are strong options you should expect to get. Reach (20 to 59%) are better colleges you have a real shot at. We tested this on official JoSAA results from 2023 to 2026, nearly 21,000 seat results: every simulated student got a seat from their list, Safe choices came true 98% of the time, and every chance we showed matched the real result within 1 point. A Reach choice costs you nothing, because JoSAA gives you the highest choice your rank can get and your Likely and Safe choices stay below it. Seats that swing a lot and new seats with only one year of data are marked Safe only when your rank is far inside the closing rank. Fill Reach choices first, then Likely, then Safe.
Most predictors compare your rank with last year's closing rank only. Ours uses three years of official closing ranks, compares your rank with the tougher of the last two, flags seats that swing a lot and new seats, uses the right rank for every seat type and quota, and puts IITs and NITs in one list in the order you should fill them. We tested it on official JoSAA results from 2023 to 2026 and publish the results: Safe options came true 98% of the time.
For IITs and IISc, enter your JEE Advanced ranks. For NITs, IIITs and GFTIs, enter your JEE Main ranks. If you have both, choose Both and enter both: JoSAA takes one choice list for all of them, and the checker merges them into one list. If you are EWS, OBC-NCL, SC or ST, also enter your category rank.
Yes. For JoSAA, your home state is the state where you passed Class 12, not where you live. Choose it and the checker uses Home State closing ranks for the NIT in your state and Other State ranks for the rest. Compare the two in the cutoff explorer.
Yes. Add your name and WhatsApp number and you can see your top 150 options and every official cutoff for free. The Smart List adds the right order, your chance for each option, branch and city preferences, and download or print. Premium adds a one-on-one review of your list by our counselling expert, guided by an IITian, and WhatsApp support.
Vacant NIT, IIIT and GFTI seats go to CSAB special rounds. Premium WhatsApp support continues through the CSAB rounds.
We use the official JoSAA final closing ranks for 2026, 2025 and 2024, the latest available. Your chance is based on the tougher of the 2025 and 2026 closing ranks. We tested this method by predicting 2025 from 2023 and 2024, and 2026 from 2024 and 2025: options marked Safe came true 98% of the time.
As often as you like until November 2027, which covers all JoSAA and CSAB 2027 rounds.
The Smart List can't be refunded once you have opened it. Premium is fully refunded if you cancel before our expert starts reviewing your list.
