Category-Wise GFTI CSE Round 2 Cutoff 2026
The cutoff varies across reservation categories. The table below highlights the closing ranks for major reservation categories under the All India quota.
Note: OPEN category closing ranks shown below are CRL (Common Rank List) ranks. EWS, OBC-NCL, SC, and ST closing ranks are Category Ranks, not CRL ranks. JoSAA allots reserved seats against a candidate's category-specific rank, not their CRL rank, so a candidate with CRL 4,079 does not necessarily hold EWS rank 4,079. These are two separate ranking lists.
Institute | OPEN | EWS | OBC-NCL | SC | ST |
BIT Mesra | 23,347 | 4,079 | 10,951 | 7,047 | 3,723 |
Assam University, Silchar | 54,588 | 9,106 | 21,186 | 10,931 | 4,461 |
NIELIT Aurangabad | 55,085 | 9,439 | 20,058 | 10,696 | 4,138 |
NIAMT Ranchi | 55,172 | 8,701 | 19,799 | 10,547 | 4,465 |
SLIET | 62,705 | 10,173 | 22,794 | 11,630 | 6,098 |
Guru Ghasidas Vishwavidyalaya | 74,635 | 11,438 | 27,142 | 12,639 | 6,287 |
