2024 closing rank by category

All India quota, gender-neutral seats, final round. Columns are not directly comparable — Open is a Common Rank List rank, while EWS, OBC-NCL, SC and ST are ranks within each category's own list, so a smaller number in a reserved column does not mean it was harder to get in.

IIT Bombay cutoff — frequently asked questions

What was the Computer Science and Engineering cutoff at IIT Bombay in 2024?
In 2024, Computer Science and Engineering (Bachelor of Technology) at IIT Bombay closed at JEE Advanced rank 68 in the final JoSAA round, for All India quota, Open category, gender-neutral seats. The opening rank that year was 1.
What rank do I need for IIT Bombay?
It depends entirely on the branch. In 2024, the most competitive branch at IIT Bombay was Computer Science and Engineering, closing at JEE Advanced rank 68, while Chemistry closed at 7,430 — so the realistic range across 15 branches was roughly 68 to 7,430 (All India quota, Open category, gender-neutral). These are past results, not a guarantee for future years.
Which branch at IIT Bombay is hardest to get into?
Based on 2024 JoSAA final-round closing ranks, Computer Science and Engineering is the most competitive branch at IIT Bombay, closing at JEE Advanced rank 68 for Open category, gender-neutral seats under All India quota.
Has IIT Bombay Computer Science and Engineering become harder to get into?
Comparing JoSAA final-round closing ranks, Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Bombay went from rank 60 in 2016 to 68 in 2024. A lower closing rank means tougher competition, so it has become about 13% less competitive over that period, for Open category gender-neutral seats.
What is the category-wise cutoff for Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Bombay?
For Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Bombay in 2024 (All India quota, gender-neutral seats), the JoSAA final-round closing ranks by category were: OPEN 68, EWS 23, OBC-NCL 50, SC 32, ST 13. Note these are not directly comparable: the Open figure is a Common Rank List rank, while EWS, OBC-NCL, SC and ST figures are ranks within each category's own list, so a smaller reserved-category number does not mean that category was harder to get into.

About this data

Ranks are final-round JoSAA seat-allotment opening and closing ranks, sourced from the official JoSAA Opening & Closing Rank tables. IIT ranks are JEE Advanced ranks; NIT, IIIT and GFTI ranks are JEE Main ranks.

Data currently runs through 2024. Years before 2018 predate the female-supernumerary split, so those figures reflect a single combined pool rather than a separate gender-neutral one.

These are historical results, not predictions. Cutoffs shift every year with paper difficulty, seat matrix and applicant numbers — always confirm against JoSAA or CSAB before making an admission decision.
