JoSAA College Predictor for IITs 2026

Predict which IIT and branch you can get using your JEE Advanced rank and category

Predicting IIT Seats Through JoSAA

All 23 IITs allot seats through JoSAA, but exclusively using JEE Advanced rank, never JEE Main rank directly. If you're targeting an IIT, the correct tool is our JEE Advanced College Predictor, which uses previous years' opening and closing ranks across all IITs and branches to show your realistic shortlist.

IIT cutoffs vary enormously by branch and institute — Computer Science at IIT Bombay or IIT Delhi can close within the first few hundred ranks, while core branches at newer IITs may be available well into five-digit ranks. Category (OBC-NCL/SC/ST/EWS) and gender (female supernumerary seats) both shift your effective rank requirement substantially.

Frequently Asked Questions – JoSAA Predictor for IITs

Common questions about predicting IIT admission through JoSAA

1
Can I predict IIT admission using my JEE Main rank?
No. IIT seats in JoSAA are allotted purely on JEE Advanced rank (Common Rank List and category ranks), not JEE Main rank. You must qualify JEE Main, clear the JEE Advanced cutoff, and then your JEE Advanced rank determines IIT eligibility. Use the JEE Advanced College Predictor, not the JEE Main one, for IIT predictions.
2
How many IITs participate in JoSAA?
All 23 IITs participate in JoSAA counselling. IISc Bangalore also participates for specific B.S. programs. Seat allotment across all IITs happens in the same 5 JoSAA rounds alongside NITs, IIITs and GFTIs.
3
Does home state quota apply to IITs?
No. Unlike NITs, IITs do not have a home-state quota — all IIT seats are effectively open to candidates from any state, with reservation only along category lines (OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS, PwD) and gender (female supernumerary seats).
4
How accurate are IIT branch predictions?
Branch-level predictions for IITs are generally reliable for popular combinations (CSE at older IITs, for instance) because cutoffs there are stable year to year. Newer IITs and less popular branches can see more year-to-year variation, so always check a range around your rank rather than a single cutoff number.
5
What if my JEE Advanced rank doesn't get me any IIT?
If your rank falls outside all IIT closing ranks, you remain eligible for NITs, IIITs and GFTIs through your JEE Main rank in the same JoSAA process — these are evaluated and allotted separately from IIT seats.
