Questions students ask

Which colleges can I get with JEE Main rank 25,000 in the OBC-NCL category?

Going by JoSAA 2026 final round (round 5) closing ranks, 46 colleges had at least one programme that closed at or after rank 25,000 for OBC-NCL candidates in All India and Other State seats. The most competitive of them were Assam University, Silchar (Electronics and Communication Engineering, closed at 25,183), Puducherry Technological University (Electronics and Communication Engineering, closed at 25,190) and Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering and Technology (Computer Science and Engineering, closed at 25,580).

Can I get Computer Science (CSE) with JEE Main rank 25,000?

Yes, at 12 colleges last year, including Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering and Technology (closed at 25,580), Birla Institute of Technology Extension Centre - [BIT], Deoghar (closed at 26,099) and Central University of Haryana (closed at 26,105).

Which NITs can I get with JEE Main rank 25,000?

None in other-state seats in last year's final round. Your own state's NIT reserves half its seats for home-state candidates, and those often close later, so check its cutoff page.

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