IIT Bombay Cutoff and Admission Comparison 2027

IIT Bombay's B.Tech cutoff is among the tightest in India. In JoSAA 2025 Round 1, Computer Science in the OPEN category opened at rank 1 and closed at rank 66. For three years, Computer Science has stayed in the 60 to 70 rank band.

  • Chemical Engineering closed at rank 2,405 in the OPEN category in JoSAA 2025 Round 1.
  • OBC-NCL, SC and ST ranks are separate from the OPEN ranks and close much later.
  • Female-only seats usually close at a higher rank than gender-neutral seats.
  • The 2027 ranks must be checked on the JoSAA portal when that year's counselling is live.

All three IITs below admit B.Tech students through JEE Advanced and JoSAA. The differences are mainly visible in closing ranks, topper choice and design admissions.
