These are past results, not a guarantee for future years.
Which branch at NIT Puducherry is hardest to get into?
Based on 2024 JoSAA final-round closing ranks, Computer Science and Engineering is the most competitive branch at NIT Puducherry, closing at JEE Main rank 18,515 for Open category, gender-neutral seats under Other State quota.
Has NIT Puducherry Computer Science and Engineering become harder to get into?
Comparing JoSAA final-round closing ranks, Computer Science and Engineering at NIT Puducherry went from rank 12,990 in 2016 to 18,515 in 2024. A lower closing rank means tougher competition, so it has become about 43% less competitive over that period, for Open category gender-neutral seats.
What is the category-wise cutoff for Computer Science and Engineering at NIT Puducherry?
For Computer Science and Engineering at NIT Puducherry in 2024 (Other State quota, gender-neutral seats), the JoSAA final-round closing ranks by category were: OPEN 18,515, EWS 3,108, OBC-NCL 6,550, SC 3,195, ST 792. 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.
