The MNNIT Allahabad cutoff for Computer Science and Engineering in 2026 was JEE Main rank 5,375 (Other State OPEN category, gender-neutral, final round of JoSAA 2026). Among other key branches, Electrical Engineering closed at 11,845, Electronics and Communication Engg at 8,904, Mechanical Engineering at 22,289 and Civil Engineering at 34,311.
In 2026, every MNNIT Allahabad program had closed by JEE Main rank 42,249 for Other State OPEN seats. Students from Uttar Pradesh compete separately for Home State seats, which close at different ranks (table below). Below is the MNNIT Allahabad branch-wise cutoff for all 10 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: Uttar Pradesh (OPEN) | Other State, female-only |
|---|---|---|---|
| Computer Science and Engineering | 5,375 | 6,770 | 11,805 |
| Mathematics and Computing | 6,553 | 8,226 | 10,247 |
| Electronics and Communication Engg | 8,904 | 10,605 | 15,704 |

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. MNNIT Allahabad CSE closed at 11,805 in the female-only pool against 5,375 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 MNNIT Allahabad that state is Uttar 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 7 of the 10 programs. For CSE, Uttar Pradesh students got a seat up to rank 6,770, while students from other states needed 5,375. If you are from Uttar Pradesh, MNNIT Allahabad 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.

How far MNNIT Allahabad closing ranks moved between Round 1 and the final round of JoSAA 2026 (Other State OPEN, gender-neutral).

The biggest moves were Bio Technology (from 34,223 to 42,249), Civil Engineering (from 28,909 to 34,311) and Chemical Engineering (from 20,828 to 25,089). 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.

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.
