The IIT Guwahati cutoff for Computer Science and Engineering in 2026 was JEE Advanced rank 822 (OPEN category, gender-neutral, final round of JoSAA 2026). Among other key branches, Electronics and Communication Engg closed at 1,988, Mechanical Engineering at 5,642 and Civil Engineering at 9,883.
In 2026, every IIT Guwahati program had closed by JEE Advanced rank 12,170 for OPEN gender-neutral seats. All its JoSAA seats are All India quota, so there is no home-state advantage. Below is the IIT Guwahati branch-wise cutoff for all 12 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.

|---|---|---|
| Computer Science and Engineering | 822 | 2,903 |
| Data Science and Artificial Intelligence | 1,286 | 3,291 |
| Mathematics and Computing | 1,366 | 4,299 |

Female-only seats are easier. IIT Guwahati CSE closed at 2,903 in the female-only pool against 822 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 Biosciences and Bioengineering (from 10,525 to 12,170), Chemical Science and Technology (from 8,138 to 9,262) and Civil Engineering (from 8,836 to 9,883). 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.
