The IIT Hyderabad cutoff for Computer Science and Engineering in 2026 was JEE Advanced rank 680 (OPEN category, gender-neutral, final round of JoSAA 2026). Among other key branches, Electrical Engineering closed at 1,714, Mechanical Engineering at 4,767 and Civil Engineering at 8,928.
In 2026, every IIT Hyderabad program had closed by JEE Advanced rank 9,123 for OPEN gender-neutral seats. All its JoSAA seats are All India quota, so there is no home-state advantage. Below is the IIT Hyderabad 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 Advanced rank that got a seat in each program. Programs are sorted from hardest to easiest.

Female-only seats are easier. IIT Hyderabad CSE closed at 2,220 in the female-only pool against 680 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 Materials Science and Metallurgical Engg (from 6,735 to 7,582), Engineering Physics (from 3,574 to 4,208) and Biotechnology and Bioinformatics (from 8,496 to 9,123). 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 Hyderabad Computer Science and Engineering closed at JEE Advanced rank 680 for OPEN gender-neutral seats in the final round of JoSAA 2026. The female-only seats closed at 2,220, OBC-NCL at category rank 299, EWS at 86, SC at 168 and ST at 70.
