Questions students ask

Which colleges can I get with JEE Advanced rank 3,000 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 3,000 for OBC-NCL candidates in All India seats. The most competitive of them were Indian Institute of Technology Mandi (Electrical Engineering, closed at 3,005), Indian Institute of Technology - [IIT], Roorkee (Production and Industrial Engineering, closed at 3,027) and Indian Institute of Technology - [IIT], Delhi (Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering, closed at 3,035).

Can I get Computer Science (CSE) with JEE Advanced rank 3,000?

Not in last year's final round: the nearest was Indian Institute of Technology Bhilai, where CSE closed at 2,815. 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 90 more programmes open through female-only seats. Use them to shortlist, and fill your choices widely during counselling.
