How Much Does the NIT Trichy Cutoff Move Between Rounds?

The NIT Trichy cutoff loosens in every branch from round 1 to round 5. Candidates who hold two offers release one, and the next rank moves in. Civil moved the most, by 3,911 ranks at Home State and 4,227 at Other State. At Home State, ECE moved the least, by 87 ranks. At Other State, CSE moved the least, by 56.

What Was the NIT Trichy Cutoff in the CSAB Special Rounds 2026?

The NIT Trichy CSAB special round cutoff for 2026 closed looser than JoSAA round 5 in all nine B.Tech branches. CSAB fills the seats that JoSAA leaves empty. The table shows the looser of the two special-round closing ranks for Open, gender-neutral seats. The move runs from 98 ranks for CSE at Other State to 7,588 ranks for Civil at Home State. The full list is on the CSAB opening and closing ranks page.

Round 2 made no Open gender-neutral allotment in CSE, ECE or Architecture, so their figures come from round 1. Architecture had no Open Home State allotment at all in the special rounds. Special-round ranks depend on which seats are left after JoSAA. Use the JoSAA round 5 rank as your main guide.

What Is the NIT Trichy Cutoff for CSE?

The NIT Trichy cutoff for CSE in 2026 was rank 4,015 at Home State and rank 1,373 at Other State. CSE has 119 seats: 60 Home State and 59 Other State. Only 19 Home State and 18 Other State seats are Open and gender-neutral. That small pool is one reason CSE closes first.

The CSE gap between the two quotas is the widest in the college. The Home State rank is 2.92 times the Other State rank. For Production, the gap is only 1.22 times, so quota matters little for Production.

Can You Get NIT Trichy at 5000 Rank?

Yes, a rank of 5,000 can get you NIT Trichy, but not CSE. At Home State, 5,000 is inside the 2026 ECE cutoff of 5,142, and every branch below ECE closed looser. At Other State, 5,000 is inside EEE at 5,432 and all branches below it. CSE closed at 4,015 and 1,373, so rank 5,000 misses it in both quotas.

Treat this as a guide. The NIT Trichy cutoff changes each year and each round.

NIT Trichy fills each quota in two pools, and the NIT Trichy cutoff differs for each pool. They are gender-neutral seats and female-only seats. Of 1,038 seats in JoSAA 2026, 211 were female-only. That is 20.3 percent. JoSAA creates them to lift female enrolment, under its Business Rules 2026.

The table gives the NIT Trichy cutoff for girls on Open female-only seats in round 5.

Do Girls Get a Lower NIT Trichy Cutoff?

Yes, girls see a looser NIT Trichy cutoff on female-only seats. The closing rank is a bigger number, so a weaker rank can still get in. For CSE, the Home State cutoff was 5,732 for female-only seats. For gender-neutral seats it was 4,015. At Other State the gap was larger: 3,545 against 1,373.

Female candidates can also compete for gender-neutral seats. Women fill female-only seats on the same rank list, so the extra seats widen the choice. They do not need a separate rank.

Each reserved category has its own rank list, so the NIT Trichy category wise cutoff differs by category. The ranks below are category ranks, not All India Ranks. The values read EWS, then OBC-NCL, then SC, then ST. They are closing ranks for gender-neutral seats in round 5 of 2026.

Can You Compare a Category Rank With an Open Rank?

No, a category rank and an Open rank sit on different lists, so the two NIT Trichy cutoff figures differ. An OBC-NCL rank of 1,262 for CSE at Home State is not the same as an Open rank of 1,262. Use your category rank for category seats. Use your Common Rank List rank for Open seats. A candidate with a category rank may compete on both lists.
