Punjab Engineering College Chandigarh — The Top GFTI for CSE

Across every JoSAA 2026 round, Punjab Engineering College (PEC), Chandigarh recorded the best (most competitive / lowest) closing rank for CSE among all GFTIs — starting at 13,499 in Round 1 and rising only gradually to 14,116 by Round 4. This consistency reflects PEC's strong reputation, central location, and status as a Deemed-to-be-University with a long engineering legacy, making it the most sought-after GFTI for Computer Science applicants.

In contrast, GFTIs at the other end of the spectrum — such as GKCIET Malda — see CSE closing ranks 3-4x higher, illustrating the wide variation in demand across the 31 GFTI institutes.

Frequently Asked Questions – GFTI CSE Cutoff 2026

Common questions about GFTI CSE closing ranks in JoSAA 2026

1
What is the GFTI CSE cutoff (closing rank) in JoSAA 2026?
GFTI CSE closing ranks across JoSAA 2026 rounds were: Round 1 best 13,499, Round 2 best 13,889, Round 3 best 14,020, Round 4 best 14,116. The average GFTI CSE closing rank moved from 21,622 in Round 1 to 24,437 by Round 4.
2
Which GFTI has the best (most competitive) CSE cutoff?
Punjab Engineering College (PEC), Chandigarh consistently had the best (lowest, most competitive) CSE closing rank among GFTIs across all tracked rounds in JoSAA 2026 — from 13,499 in Round 1 to 14,116 in Round 4. PEC Chandigarh is generally regarded as the top GFTI for Computer Science.
3
Which GFTI has the highest (least competitive) CSE cutoff?
GKCIET Malda (Ghani Khan Choudhary Institute of Engineering and Technology) had the worst (highest) CSE closing rank among tracked GFTIs, ranging from 47,890 in Round 1 to 59,264 in Round 4 — meaning candidates with much higher rank numbers could still secure CSE seats there.
4
How does GFTI CSE cutoff compare to NIT CSE cutoff?
GFTI CSE cutoffs (best ~13,499-14,116 at PEC Chandigarh) are considerably higher (less competitive) than top NIT CSE cutoffs (best ~1,317-1,373 at NIT Trichy), reflecting GFTIs generally being a notch below NITs in the JoSAA institute hierarchy, though PEC Chandigarh is a strong exception often compared favorably to lower-tier NITs.
5
Does GFTI CSE cutoff increase significantly across rounds?
The increase is relatively gradual: from 13,499 (Round 1) to 13,889 (Round 2) to 14,020 (Round 3) to 14,116 (Round 4) at the best-performing GFTI. This modest movement suggests PEC Chandigarh CSE seats are consistently in high demand throughout JoSAA rounds.
