The IIT BHU cutoff for Computer Science and Engineering in 2026 was JEE Advanced rank 1,439 (OPEN category, gender-neutral, final round of JoSAA 2026). Among other key branches, Electrical Engineering closed at 3,879, Mechanical Engineering at 8,010 and Civil Engineering at 12,331.
In 2026, every IIT BHU program had closed by JEE Advanced rank 15,894 for OPEN gender-neutral seats. All its JoSAA seats are All India quota, so there is no home-state advantage. Below is the IIT BHU branch-wise cutoff for all 16 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 Advanced 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 Advanced 2026 Common Rank List (CRL) ranks. Female-only seats include supernumerary seats.
Female-only seats are easier. IIT BHU CSE closed at 4,270 in the female-only pool against 1,439 gender-neutral. Girls are considered for both pools, so include both in your list.
For reserved categories, JoSAA uses your category rank, not your CRL rank. These are gender-neutral seats in the final round.

The biggest moves were Pharmaceutical Engineering & Technology (from 13,991 to 15,894), Biomedical Engineering (from 11,524 to 13,196) and Ceramic Engineering (from 12,902 to 14,562). 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.

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: It is your JEE Advanced rank that counts, not your JEE Main rank or percentile. JEE Main only decides whether you can sit JEE Advanced.
IIT BHU Computer Science and Engineering closed at JEE Advanced rank 1,439 for OPEN gender-neutral seats in the final round of JoSAA 2026. The female-only seats closed at 4,270, OBC-NCL at category rank 601, EWS at 245, SC at 373 and ST at 170.
In 2026, OPEN gender-neutral seats at IIT BHU closed between JEE Advanced rank 1,439 (Computer Science and Engineering) and 15,894 (Pharmaceutical Engineering & Technology).
Electrical Engineering closed at JEE Advanced rank 3,879 for OPEN gender-neutral seats and 8,959 for female-only seats in the 2026 final round. It closed at 3,534 in 2023.
Mechanical Engineering closed at JEE Advanced rank 8,010 for OPEN gender-neutral seats and 16,502 for female-only seats in the 2026 final round. It closed at 6,694 in 2023.
Civil Engineering closed at JEE Advanced rank 12,331 for OPEN gender-neutral seats and 20,902 for female-only seats in the 2026 final round. It closed at 10,232 in 2023.
No. IIT seats are allotted on JEE Advanced ranks. JEE Main decides whether you can sit JEE Advanced; in 2026 that needed 93.4123549 percentile in the OPEN category.
In 2026, Pharmaceutical Engineering & Technology closed last, at JEE Advanced rank 15,894 (OPEN, gender-neutral).
