Opening Rank is the highest JEE Advanced All India Rank (AIR) at which a seat was allotted in Round 1 for a specific branch and category. Closing Rank is the lowest rank (highest number) at which the last seat was filled in the final round. The Round 6 closing rank is the definitive cutoff — it tells candidates the worst-case rank that secured admission after all seat shuffling across 6 rounds.
Cutoffs are published for each combination of IIT × Branch × Category × Gender pool. Opening Rank is the best rank allotted in Round 1; Closing Rank is the last rank allotted in Round 6.
IIT Roorkee cutoffs are determined by four key factors:

Understanding how cutoffs move across rounds helps candidates decide when to freeze an allotment and when to float for a better seat.
In round 1, 2, and round 3, CSE cutoff was 271 (opening rank). In round 4 and 5, the closing rank was 555 and 562 respectively. In round 6, the IIT Roorkee CSE cutoff was 592.
| Round | CSE Opening Rank | CSE Closing Rank | Movement |
| Round 1 | 271 | 535 | — |
| Round 2 | 271 | 545 | +10 |
| Round 3 | 271 | 550 | +5 |
| Round 4 | 271 | 555 | +5 |
| Round 5 | 271 | 562 | +7 |
| Round 6 (Final) | 271 | 592 | +30 |
Key Insight: For high-demand branches like CSE and DS&AI, the closing rank moves only 50–60 ranks between Round 1 and Round 6. The seat fills almost instantly in Round 1 and barely relaxes. For branches like Civil Engineering and Metallurgy, the relaxation can be 300–500 ranks across 6 rounds — worth waiting for if your rank is borderline.

The JEE Advanced cutoff for IIT Roorkee for Computer Science Engineering shifted from 412 in 2023 to 592 in 2025, indicating a mild relaxation.
For 2026, the IIT Roorkee B.Tech cutoff (JEE Advanced, Open, All India, gender-neutral) is expected to remain broadly in line with the 2025 Round 6 trends, with only marginal tightening or relaxation of closing ranks depending on exam difficulty, seat matrix, and competition.
| Branch | 2025 Closing Rank | Expected 2026 Range | Direction |
| CSE | 592 | 550–620 | Stable |
| DS & AI | 845 | 800–880 | Stable |
| ECE | 1,394 | 1,350–1,500 | Stable |

Candidates aiming for CSE should generally target a rank around 550–620. Emerging branches like Data Science and Artificial Intelligence are likely to remain highly competitive just after CSE, with closing ranks expected to stay below 860 in 2026.
These are estimates based on 2025 data and trend analysis. Official 2026 cutoffs will be released by JoSAA after each counselling round. Check josaa.nic.in for confirmed figures.
Female candidates at IIT Roorkee have access to both Gender-Neutral seats and Female-only Supernumerary seats. Female-only seats have significantly higher (more relaxed) closing ranks.
| Branch | Male/Gender-Neutral CR 2025 | Female-only CR 2025 | Rank Advantage |
| CSE | 592 | 2,013 | ~1,421 ranks |
| DS & AI | 845 | ~2,400 | ~1,555 ranks |
| ECE | 1,394 | ~3,600 | ~2,206 ranks |
| Electrical Engineering | 2,091 | ~5,100 | ~3,009 ranks |
| Mechanical Engineering | 3,897 | ~8,500 | ~4,603 ranks |
The IIT Roorkee CSE cutoff female for JEE Advanced 2025 is 1,331 (opening rank) and 2,013 (closing rank) under general category.
Female candidates should always fill both Gender-Neutral choices and Female-only choices for the same branch in JoSAA. Female-only seats are additional/supernumerary — they do not reduce the seats available for Gender-Neutral pool.
| JEE Advanced AIR (General) | Best Realistic Branch at IIT Roorkee |
| Under 300 | CSE — safe; DS&AI guaranteed |
| 300–600 | CSE — borderline; DS&AI safe |
| 600–900 | DS&AI — safe; ECE/MnC possible |
| 900–1,500 | ECE — safe; Electrical possible |
| 1,500–2,200 | Electrical Engineering |
| 2,200–4,000 | Mechanical Engineering |
| 4,000–6,500 | Chemical Engineering / Civil Engineering |
| 6,500–8,000 | Metallurgical & Materials / Geological Technology |
| 8,000–12,000 | Integrated programs, Biosciences, Chemistry |
| 12,000–17,665 | B.Arch (Architecture) |
The IIT Roorkee cutoff is determined by the following factors: number of applications (higher demand = higher cutoffs), exam difficulty (a harder JEE Advanced produces higher closing ranks as more candidates score lower), seat availability (any change in total seats shifts the cutoff), and reservation policies (which create separate merit lists for each category).
For 2026 specifically, the following variables will determine final cutoffs:
Identify branches where the 2025 Round 6 closing rank is at least 100–200 ranks higher (worse) than your JEE Advanced AIR. These are your safe choices.
Branches where the 2025 closing rank is 0–100 ranks better than your AIR are borderline. Add these as higher-preference choices — closing ranks can relax in later rounds.
Always fill Gender-Neutral choices and Female-only Supernumerary choices for the same branch. Don't assume Round 1 cutoffs are final — cutoffs relax in later rounds as candidates withdraw. For popular IIT branches (CSE at old IITs), cutoffs barely move between rounds — often only 5–20 rank positions. For less popular branches, cutoffs can relax by 500–2,000 ranks in later rounds.
Never fill fewer than 25 choices. Include a mix of stretch choices (5–8), realistic choices (10–15), and safe backup choices (8–12) across different branches and different IITs.
Use the Float option in JoSAA if allotted a lower-preference branch — it automatically upgrades to a higher-preference allotment if a seat opens up in later rounds.

Opening Rank is the highest (best) JEE Advanced AIR at which a seat was allotted in Round 1 for a specific branch, category, and gender pool. Closing Rank is the lowest (worst) AIR at which the last available seat was filled in the final round (Round 6). Closing Rank determines the realistic cutoff — it tells candidates the worst-case rank that secured admission after all seat shuffling.
For popular IIT branches (like CSE), cutoffs barely move between rounds — often only 5–20 rank positions as demand is so high seats fill almost immediately in Round 1. For less popular branches (Metallurgy, Chemical), cutoffs can relax by 500–2,000 ranks in later rounds. At IIT Roorkee, CSE moved only from 535 (Round 1) to 592 (Round 6) in 2025 — a shift of just 57 ranks.
The Round 6 closing rank for Civil Engineering at IIT Roorkee in JEE Advanced 2025 was approximately 6,361 for the General category. A rank of 6,500 is borderline — it falls within the Round 5–6 closing range. Candidates at this rank should fill Civil Engineering as a choice and participate in all rounds, as relaxation in later rounds may create an opening.
B.Tech Computer Science Engineering was the most preferred course for EWS candidates in 2025 with the lowest rank of 98, followed by B.Tech Data Science and Artificial Intelligence with a cutoff of 119. EWS closing rank for CSE was approximately 98 in 2025 (this refers to EWS category rank, not CRL).
