Questions students ask

Which colleges can I get with JEE Main rank 8,000 in the ST category?

Going by JoSAA 2026 final round (round 5) closing ranks, 21 colleges had at least one programme that closed at or after rank 8,000 for ST candidates in All India and Other State seats. The most competitive of them were National Institute of Food Technology Entrepreneurship and Management, Thanjavur (Food Technology, closed at 8,090), Central University of Jammu (Computer Science and Engineering with specialization in Cyber Security, closed at 8,105) and Guru Ghasidas Vishwavidyalaya, Bilaspur (Electronics and Communication Engineering, closed at 8,145).

Can I get Computer Science (CSE) with JEE Main rank 8,000?

Not in last year's final round: the nearest was Institute of Engineering and Technology, Dr. Harisingh Gour Vishwavidyalaya, Sagar, where CSE closed at 7,853. Home-state quota and female-only seats can close later, so check those too.

Which NITs can I get with JEE Main rank 8,000?

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