Questions students ask

Which colleges can I get with JEE Advanced rank 500 in the ST category?

Going by JoSAA 2026 final round (round 5) closing ranks, 23 colleges had at least one programme that closed at or after rank 500 for ST candidates in All India seats. The most competitive of them were Indian Institute of Technology - [IIT], Kanpur (Mechanical Engineering, closed at 504), Indian Institute of Technology - [IIT], Madras (Aerospace Engineering (B.Tech + M.Tech Dual Degree), closed at 507) and Indian Institute of Technology - [IIT], Delhi (Energy Engineering, closed at 524).

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

Yes, at 4 colleges last year, including Indian Institute of Technology Palakkad (closed at 550), Indian Institute of Technology Dharwad (closed at 589) and Indian Institute of Technology Bhilai (closed at 758).

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