Which IIT can I get in 1000 rank?

With a 1000 rank in JEE Advanced, you have a great chance of getting into one of the top IITs (Indian Institutes of Technology). However, your branch choice and category will play a significant role in the admission process. Here’s a breakdown of possible options for a General category candidate with a 1000 rank and a rough idea of which IITs and branches you could target:

1. Top IITs (IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Kanpur, IIT Kharagpur, IIT Madras)

• Popular Branches (CSE, ECE, EE):

  • CSE (Computer Science Engineering) is typically one of the most competitive branches, so with a 1000 rank, it is unlikely you’ll get into CSE at these IITs.

  • However, you might be able to secure Electronics and Communication (ECE), Electrical Engineering (EE), or Mechanical Engineering (ME) depending on the exact cut-off for that year.

• Other Branches: You might have better chances with branches like Civil, Chemical, Aerospace, or Metallurgical Engineering at these top IITs.

2. IITs in the Second Tier (IIT Roorkee, IIT Guwahati, IIT BHU, IIT Indore, IIT Ropar)

• At these IITs, your chances for getting into more competitive branches like CSE or ECE will improve. With a 1000 rank, you have a good chance to get into these IITs for branches like CSE, ECE, or EE.

• Some lesser-known or newer IITs also offer good opportunities, so consider them if you’re flexible with the campus.

3. Other Branches and Preferences

• Second-choice branches such as Industrial Engineering, Design Engineering, and Environmental Engineering at top IITs might also be an option for you.

• If you are flexible with branches, you could even get into IITs like IIT Delhi, IIT Bombay, or IIT Madras for branches that are less competitive than CSE.

Category Considerations

• General Category: For a 1000 rank in the General category, you are likely to get branches like ECE, EE, Mechanical, or Civil in older IITs and CSE in some newer IITs or slightly less competitive branches in top IITs.

• OBC/SC/ST Categories: Your chances for CSE and other high-demand branches increase if you belong to any of the reserved categories due to the lower cut-off.

General Ranking Estimations:

• IIT Bombay: Likely Mechanical, Civil, or Chemical Engineering depending on the branch cut-off.

• IIT Delhi: Likely Mechanical, Chemical, or Civil for a 1000 rank.

• IIT Kanpur: Mechanical, Electrical, or Metallurgical Engineering.

• IIT Kharagpur: Electrical, Mechanical, or Metallurgical Engineering.

• IIT Madras: Electrical, Mechanical, or Civil Engineering.
