Questions students ask
Which colleges can I get with JEE Advanced rank 1,500 in the ST category?
Going by JoSAA 2026 final round (round 5) closing ranks, 14 colleges had at least one programme that closed at or after rank 1,500 for ST candidates in All India seats. The most competitive of them were Indian Institute of Technology - [IIT ISM], Dhanbad (Geological Engineering, closed at 1,501), Indian Institute of Technology - [IIT BHU], Varanasi (Ceramic Engineering, closed at 1,506) and Indian Institute of Technology - [IIT], Kharagpur (Physics (Bachelor of Science), closed at 1,515).
Can I get Computer Science (CSE) with JEE Advanced rank 1,500?
No college's CSE closed at or after rank 1,500 in last year's final round. Related branches such as IT or ECE often close later.
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 48 more programmes open through female-only seats. Use them to shortlist, and fill your choices widely during counselling.
