The MANIT Bhopal cutoff for Computer Science and Engineering in 2026 was JEE Main rank 10,512 (Other State OPEN category, gender-neutral, final round of JoSAA 2026). Among other key branches, Electrical Engineering closed at 21,581, Electronics and Communication Engg at 15,284, Mechanical Engineering at 31,290 and Civil Engineering at 44,428.
In 2026, every MANIT Bhopal program had closed by JEE Main rank 45,802 for Other State OPEN seats. Students from Madhya Pradesh compete separately for Home State seats, which close at different ranks (table below). Below is the MANIT Bhopal branch-wise cutoff for all 11 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.
| Program | Other State (OPEN) | Home State: Madhya Pradesh (OPEN) | Other State, female-only |
|---|---|---|---|
| Computer Science and Engineering | 10,512 | 11,922 | 17,679 |
| Mathematics and Data Science (5-yr dual/integrated) | 14,597 | 15,538 | 20,189 |
| Electronics and Communication Engg | 15,284 | 18,263 | 22,733 |

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. MANIT Bhopal CSE closed at 17,679 in the female-only pool against 10,512 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 MANIT Bhopal that state is Madhya Pradesh. 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 11 of the 11 programs. For CSE, Madhya Pradesh students got a seat up to rank 11,922, while students from other states needed 10,512. If you are from Madhya Pradesh, MANIT Bhopal 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 Civil Engineering (from 36,291 to 44,428), Energy and Electrical Vehicle Engg (from 23,510 to 28,857) and Chemical Engineering (from 32,146 to 36,844). 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 14,597 | Computer Science and Engineering (10,512), Mathematics and Data Science (5-yr dual/integrated) (14,597) |
| 14,598 to 21,581 | Electronics and Communication Engg (15,284), Electrical Engineering (21,581) |
| 21,582 to 22,650 | Electrical Engineering with E Mobility (21,998), B. Tech. and M. Tech. in Engg and Computational Mechanics (Dual Degree) (5-yr dual/integrated) (22,650) |
| 22,651 to 31,290 | Energy and Electrical Vehicle Engg (28,857), Mechanical Engineering (31,290) |
| 31,291 to 44,428 | Chemical Engineering (36,844), Civil Engineering (44,428) |
| 44,429 to 45,802 | Materials and Metallurgical Engineering (45,802) |
| Beyond 45,802 | 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.
