The SVNIT Surat cutoff for Computer Science and Engineering in 2026 was JEE Main rank 9,517 (Other State OPEN category, gender-neutral, final round of JoSAA 2026). Among other key branches, Electrical Engineering closed at 20,241, Electronics and Communication Engg at 14,985, Mechanical Engineering at 28,905 and Civil Engineering at 44,740.
In 2026, every SVNIT Surat program had closed by JEE Main rank 61,319 for Other State OPEN seats. Students from Gujarat compete separately for Home State seats, which close at different ranks (table below). Below is the SVNIT Surat branch-wise cutoff for all 15 programs and every category, from the official JoSAA opening and closing ranks, with the trend since 2023.
These are the final-round (Round 5) closing ranks from JoSAA 2026: the last JEE Main rank that got a seat in each program. Programs are sorted from hardest to easiest.

Source: JoSAA 2026 Opening and Closing Ranks, Round 5 (final), josaa.admissions.nic.in. Ranks are JEE Main 2026 Common Rank List (CRL) ranks. Female-only seats include supernumerary seats. B.Arch is left out because it uses the JEE Main Paper 2 rank list.
Female-only seats are easier. SVNIT Surat CSE closed at 15,659 in the female-only pool against 9,517 gender-neutral. Girls are considered for both pools, so include both in your list.
NITs keep half of their seats for students whose state code of eligibility is the NIT's own state. For SVNIT Surat that state is Gujarat. Your state code of eligibility is the state where you first took the Class 12 exam, not where you live (JoSAA 2026 Business Rules, clause 8).
In 2026, the Home State closing rank was higher (easier) than the Other State one for 14 of the 15 programs. For CSE, Gujarat students got a seat up to rank 9,327, while students from other states needed 9,517. If you are from Gujarat, SVNIT Surat is one of your strongest options; if not, also compare the NIT in your own state.
For reserved categories, JoSAA uses your category rank, not your CRL rank. These are Other State gender-neutral seats in the final round.

The biggest moves were Chemistry (5-yr dual/integrated) (from 50,122 to 61,319), Civil Engineering (from 37,819 to 44,740) and Industrial Chemistry (from 39,352 to 46,051). If your rank is just outside a program that moved a lot, choosing Float or Slide and waiting for later rounds can pay off. If it barely moved, a later round is unlikely to change your result.
Based on the 2026 final-round closing ranks (Other State OPEN, gender-neutral). Find your rank's row: you could get each program in it whose closing rank is larger than your rank, plus every program in the rows below.
| Your JEE Main rank (CRL) | Programs that closed in this range in 2026 |
|---|---|
| 1 to 11,626 | Computer Science and Engineering (9,517), Mathematics and Computing (11,626) |
| 11,627 to 14,785 | Artificial Intelligence (12,657), Artificial Intelligence (5-yr dual/integrated) (14,785) |
| 14,786 to 16,256 | Electronics and Communication Engg (14,985), Electronics and VLSI Engineering (16,256) |

| 46,052 to 61,319 | Chemistry (5-yr dual/integrated) (61,319) |
| Beyond 61,319 | No Other State OPEN gender-neutral seat in 2026. |
Cutoffs change every year, so treat a rank within about 5% of a closing rank as borderline. Our Smart List marks every option as Safe, Likely or Reach, tested on four years of official JoSAA results.
Which rank counts: NIT seats use your JEE Main rank (CRL, or category rank for reserved categories). JEE Advanced is not needed for NITs.
