JEE Advanced College Predictor for CSE 2026

Find out which IIT you can get into for Computer Science Engineering with your JEE Advanced rank

Why CSE Prediction Needs a Dedicated View

Computer Science Engineering is the single most competitive branch at nearly every IIT, with closing ranks far tighter than the institute's overall average. A generic "which IIT can I get" prediction can be misleading if you specifically want CSE — the rank that gets you into an IIT for Mechanical or Civil is often nowhere close to what CSE requires at the same campus.

Our predictor filters directly on CSE (and closely related programs like AI and Mathematics & Computing) across all 23 IITs, using each institute's own historical opening and closing ranks, so you see exactly where your rank stands for the branch you actually want.

How CSE Cutoffs Compare Across IITs

Broadly, CSE closing ranks follow the reputation tier of the institute: the older IITs (Bombay, Delhi, Madras, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Roorkee, Guwahati) close CSE at the lowest (most competitive) ranks, followed by BHU Varanasi and the newer IITs. Within a single IIT, CSE almost always has the lowest closing rank of any branch offered.

Run your exact rank through the JEE Advanced College Predictor to see a ranked list of every IIT where CSE is within reach, or check category-specific results via the category-wise predictor. Curious about placements too? See IIT Bombay CSE package data.

Frequently Asked Questions – JEE Advanced CSE Predictor

Common questions about predicting IITs for Computer Science Engineering

1
What rank is needed for CSE at a top IIT like IIT Bombay or IIT Delhi?
CSE at IIT Bombay and IIT Delhi typically closes within the top 100-250 CRL rank for General category, among the most competitive combinations in the country. These ranks shift slightly year to year based on the number of CSE seats and total applicants, so always check the current year's actual JoSAA closing ranks rather than relying on a fixed number.
2
Can I get CSE at any IIT with a rank around 5,000?
A rank around 5,000 CRL generally does not secure CSE at the older, higher-demand IITs (Bombay, Delhi, Madras, Kanpur, Kharagpur), but can realistically get CSE at some newer IITs depending on the year's cutoffs. Use the predictor to see the full ranked list for your exact rank rather than assuming based on a single data point.
3
Is it better to take CSE at a newer IIT or a non-CSE branch at an older IIT?
This depends on your career goals. CSE at any IIT generally has strong placement outcomes and is branch-change-proof if you want to go into software roles. A core branch (like Electrical or Mechanical) at an older, more established IIT may offer better brand value, research opportunities, and alumni network for non-software careers. There's no universally correct answer — weigh placement data, branch interest, and campus factors.
4
Does the CSE predictor account for Computer Science vs allied branches like AI/Data Science?
Yes, our predictor tool lists CSE alongside closely related branches such as AI, Data Science, and Mathematics & Computing separately where the IIT offers them as distinct programs, since each has its own opening and closing ranks and is often less competitive than core CSE.
5
How much do CSE cutoffs vary between General and reserved categories?
Substantially. OBC-NCL CSE cutoffs are typically 1.5-2x the General CRL for the same institute. SC and ST cutoffs can be 5-8x higher (worse number, more accessible) than General, since they're drawn from separate, smaller category-specific rank lists competing for a smaller reserved seat pool.
