What Rank Do You Need for IIT CSE? (JoSAA 2025)

Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) is the highest-demand branch at every IIT, so it has the lowest (best) closing ranks. Based on JoSAA 2025 (Open, gender-neutral, final round):

• Top IITs (Bombay, Delhi, Madras, Kanpur, Kharagpur): CSE typically closes within a few hundred ranks on the JEE Advanced CRL.
• Newer IITs: CSE closing ranks are higher (more accessible), often into the low thousands.

Reserved-category closing ranks are higher (more relaxed) than Open. For your exact number at each IIT for your category, use the predictor — pick JEE Advanced, your category, and it lists every IIT CSE seat within reach with its real closing rank.
