Jodhpur
The toughest entry at IIT Jodhpur in 2026 was Computer Science and Engineering, which closed at All India Rank 3755 for open, gender-neutral seats in JoSAA Round 5. The loosest of the 13 programmes was the B.S. in Engineering Chemistry at 18643, and the loosest B.Tech was Bio Engineering at 17195. Every open-seat figure here is a Common Rank List rank. Every EWS, OBC-NCL, SC and ST figure is a rank inside that category's own list.
For B.Tech and B.S. admission, the cutoff is a JoSAA closing rank, and JoSAA 2026 ran five rounds. JoSAA publishes opening and closing ranks by institute, programme, seat type and round (source: josaa.admissions.nic.in). Round 5 was the final round for IITs, with allotment on 16 July 2026. IIT Jodhpur had 750 seats across 13 programmes.
🎯CRLOpen SeatsRanks are Common Rank List ranks. 314 of the 750 seats are in the open pool.📋EWS, OBC, SC, STCategory SeatsEWS, OBC-NCL, SC and ST ranks are inside each category's own list and are not comparable with open ranks.👩🎓150 seatsFemale-Only Seats150 supernumerary seats, 20% of the 750, are a separate pool and close at a looser rank.Check the closing rank for your branch, your category and your gender pool, in the last round. A female candidate in the open category is eligible for two pools at once. In 2026 the female-only pool closed between 1.4 and 2.1 times the gender-neutral rank, depending on the branch.
Take Computer Science and Engineering in Round 5. The open gender-neutral pool closed at 3755, and the open female-only pool closed at 7847.
For M.Tech and M.Sc, entry depends on GATE or JAM scores and the department's shortlist. A fixed score cutoff is not published on the institute's M.Tech and M.Sc pages, so this page covers JoSAA ranks only.
The opening rank is the best-ranked student allotted a seat in that round. The closing rank is the last student allotted. You are in the running when your rank is at or below the closing rank for your branch, category and pool.
No. They show last year's pattern. JoSAA fixes new ranks every year, and JEE Advanced 2027 dates are not published on jeeadv.ac.in yet.

Computer Science and Engineering, at an open gender-neutral closing rank of 3755. Artificial Intelligence and Data Science follows at 5082 and Mathematics and Computing at 5718. Those are the only three programmes that closed inside 6,000. Aerospace Engineering, in its first JoSAA cycle, closed at 10981, just behind Mechanical Engineering at 10844.
By 251 ranks at the least and 2,601 ranks at the most between Round 1 and Round 5, with a median of 14.4%. Artificial Intelligence and Data Science moved 251 ranks (5.2%). Computer Science and Engineering moved 363 ranks (10.7%). Engineering Chemistry moved 2,601 ranks, and Engineering Physics moved the most in percentage, at 20.7%.
The pattern is simple. The most-wanted branches barely move, because almost nobody gives those seats up. The others move more as students upgrade in later rounds and free up seats.
Take a candidate at rank 11,500 who missed Chemical Engineering in Round 1, where it closed at 11482. By Round 5 it closed at 13579, so that candidate was in range. A candidate at rank 4,500 waiting for Computer Science and Engineering to reach them was not, since it closed at 3755.
Bio Engineering closed at 17195 in Round 5, the loosest of the ten B.Tech branches. Civil and Infrastructure Engineering (15583) and Materials Engineering (15534) followed.
It has one cycle behind it. Aerospace Engineering started in 2026, so its 2026 closing rank rests on a single set of choices and may move in 2027.
Pick your category tab. Each table lists JoSAA 2026 Round 5 opening and closing ranks for gender-neutral seats, sorted by open closing rank. The OPEN tab is a Common Rank List rank. The other tabs are ranks inside that category's list.

Not always. In the open category Mechanical Engineering (10844) closed far tighter than Civil and Infrastructure Engineering (15583). In the ST category the order reverses: Civil closed at 1115 and Mechanical at 1141. In the SC category Aerospace Engineering (2209) closed tighter than Mechanical Engineering (2342), though the open ranks sit the other way.
Each category closes on its own last admitted candidate. Read your own tab rather than assuming the open ordering holds. For PwD seats, Computer Science and Engineering closed at 111 on the open PwD list and Artificial Intelligence and Data Science at 242. The open PwD list for Electronics Engineering shows a preparatory rank of 139.
Female-only seats closed looser than gender-neutral open seats in every programme. The gap ranged from 4,092 ranks at Computer Science and Engineering to 10,800 ranks at Engineering Chemistry.

A female candidate is eligible for both pools, so check both columns. At Computer Science and Engineering the female-only pool also had EWS, OBC-NCL, SC and ST rows in Round 5, closing at 1359, 3880, 1588 and 494 respectively.
JoSAA adds them on top of the gender-neutral seats, so they do not reduce the seats open to everyone. IIT Jodhpur had 150 such seats in 2026, along with 600 gender-neutral seats.
This is an expectation, not a published cutoff
JoSAA has not opened its 2027 cycle and JEE Advanced 2027 dates are not published on jeeadv.ac.in. Nothing in this section is an official figure.
The only firm basis is what JoSAA published for 2026 and how much it loosened between rounds. Use it as a planning line.
| Programme | 2026 Round 5 Open Closing | Seats in 2026 and What Could Move It |
|---|---|---|
| Computer Science and Engineering | 3755 | 90 seats. Moved least between rounds |
| Artificial Intelligence and Data Science | 5082 | 90 seats. Moved only 5.2% |
| Mathematics and Computing | 5718 | 40 seats. B.S. degree in its first cycle |
| Electrical Engineering | 7713 | 60 seats. Moved 14.4% |
| Aerospace Engineering | 10981 | 50 seats. First cycle, least predictable |
Compare your rank with the Round 1 closing rank first. Every programme loosened by at least 5.2% by Round 5, and the median was 14.4%. So a branch whose Round 1 closing rank is within about 15% beyond your rank can still reach you, and it belongs on your list. A branch where your rank is far beyond the Round 5 closing rank, such as Computer Science and Engineering at 6,000 for a gender-neutral open seat, will not.
Any figure presented as a published IIT Jodhpur 2027 cutoff is not from JoSAA.
More seats usually push the closing rank later. IIT Jodhpur offered 750 JoSAA seats in 2026. Its NIRF 2026 submission shows an undergraduate intake of 606 in 2024-25.
Six documented things move an IIT Jodhpur closing rank, and exam difficulty is only one.
1. The number of seats. Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, and Mechanical Engineering have 90 seats each. Engineering Physics and Engineering Chemistry have 30 each (source: josaa.admissions.nic.in seat matrix). A 30-seat programme closes on a few candidates' decisions.
2. The counselling round. Closing ranks loosened on all 13 programmes between Round 1 and Round 5. Reading only Round 1 would make you write off programmes you could still get.
3. The category and the pool. Open, EWS, OBC-NCL, SC and ST each close on their own last admitted candidate, and the order of branches differs across them.
4. The gender pool. The female-only pool closed 4,092 to 10,800 ranks looser than the gender-neutral open pool.
5. Growth in intake. The NIRF 2026 submission shows undergraduate intake of 490 in 2021-22, 530, 510 and 606 in 2024-25. JoSAA 2026 offered 750 seats, which is 144 more (23.8%) than 606, though the two figures may not count the same programmes.
6. New programmes. Aerospace Engineering and the three B.S. degrees had their first JoSAA cycle in 2026. Electronics Engineering is in its second. Their closing ranks rest on very little history.
You accept the seat and pay within the JoSAA deadline, then report to the campus. For 2026, Round 5 fee payment closed on 20 July, and IIT Jodhpur asked new students to report at 9 AM on 27 July 2026. The institute's FAQ says branch change is not available, and the JoSAA institute profile says it is not permitted from AY 2026-27, so your first branch is the one you should want. The sequence is on the IIT Jodhpur admission page, and the first-semester bill is on the IIT Jodhpur fees.
JoSAA 2026 lists IIT Jodhpur seats in the All India quota, with no home-state quota rows in the ranks used here.
Programme-wise seats and fee are on the IIT Jodhpur courses page, and placement outcomes by branch are on the IIT Jodhpur placement page.
