Questions students ask
Which colleges can I get with JEE Advanced rank 1,500 in the OBC-NCL category?
Going by JoSAA 2026 final round (round 5) closing ranks, 23 colleges had at least one programme that closed at or after rank 1,500 for OBC-NCL candidates in All India seats. The most competitive of them were Indian Institute of Technology - [IIT], Indore (Electrical Engineering, closed at 1,522), Indian Institute of Technology - [IIT BHU], Varanasi (Electrical Engineering, closed at 1,529) and Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur (Computer Science and Engineering, closed at 1,536).
Can I get Computer Science (CSE) with JEE Advanced rank 1,500?
Yes, at 8 colleges last year, including Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur (closed at 1,536), Indian Institute of Technology - [IIT], Bhubaneswar (closed at 1,551) and Indian Institute of Technology Tirupati (closed at 1,971).
Will these cutoffs be the same this year?
No list can promise a seat: closing ranks move a little every year with the number of candidates and seats. These are JoSAA 2026 final round (round 5) closing ranks; female candidates also had 46 more programmes open through female-only seats. Use them to shortlist, and fill your choices widely during counselling.
