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.

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.
