Questions students ask

Which colleges can I get with JEE Advanced rank 1,500 in the SC 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 SC candidates in All India seats. The most competitive of them were Indian Institute of Technology - [IIT], Hyderabad (Chemical Engineering, closed at 1,503), Indian Institute of Technology Patna (Mathematics & Computing (B.Tech + M.Tech Dual Degree), closed at 1,507) and Indian Institute of Technology - [IIT], Bombay (Environmental Science and Engineering, closed at 1,570).

Can I get Computer Science (CSE) with JEE Advanced rank 1,500?

Not in last year's final round: the nearest was Indian Institute of Technology Dharwad, where CSE closed at 1,484. Home-state quota and female-only seats can close later, so check those too.

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 62 more programmes open through female-only seats. Use them to shortlist, and fill your choices widely during counselling.
