IIIT Trichy Cutoff 2026 JEE Mains and GATE Ranks

The IIIT Trichy cutoff 2026 for JoSAA has now been finalised, with Round 5. In the final round, Computer Science and Engineering remained the most competitive branch, with the OPEN Gender-Neutral closing rank settling at 27,913. CSE with Artificial Intelligence and Data Science closed at 29,390 for OPEN Gender-Neutral candidates, and Electronics and Communication Engineering closed at 37,110.

The final IIIT Trichy cutoff 2026 confirms that CSE and AI-related courses saw the strongest demand at IIIT Trichy this year. Compared with Round 1, closing ranks moved up across every branch as seats vacated through the Freeze/Float/Slide process. CSE moved from 24,193 in Round 1 to 27,913 in the final round, while ECE moved from 29,339 to 37,110.

Since JoSAA 2026 ran only 5 rounds (against 6 rounds in 2025), Round 5 is the definitive, non-appealable end of the standard counselling cycle; there is no Round 6. Candidates who did not receive a seat can now look at CSAB Special Rounds for any remaining vacant seats.

IIIT Trichy JEE Main Cutoff 2026 Highlights

The IIIT Trichy cutoff 2026 final round (Round 5) gives a complete picture of branch-wise competition for the year. CSE had the lowest OPEN closing rank among all branches, confirming it as the most sought-after course. ECE and ECE VLSI had considerably higher closing ranks by the final round, making them comparatively more accessible than CSE and CSE AI & DS.

Round 5 was the last round of JoSAA counselling 2026, and its closing ranks are the most relaxed and the most reliable of the entire cycle since they reflect the final competitive equilibrium after all upgrades, freezes, and withdrawals. In the OPEN Gender-Neutral category, CSE closed at 27,913, CSE AI & DS closed at 29,390, ECE closed at 37,110, and ECE VLSI closed at 38,767.

IIIT Trichy Cutoff Branch Wise Analysis

The branch-wise IIIT Trichy cutoff confirms that CSE stayed the top preference all the way through to the final round, though every branch saw its closing rank move up substantially between Round 1 and Round 5. ECE and ECE VLSI saw the sharpest movement, since a large share of candidates originally holding ECE and ECE VLSI seats floated toward CSE and CSE AI & DS in later rounds, freeing up ECE/ECE VLSI seats for lower-ranked candidates.

The table below compares the Round 1, final Round 5, and 2025 final round closing ranks for major branches (OPEN Gender-Neutral):

This year's final CSE closing rank (27,913) landed almost exactly where 2025's final round settled (28,335), and ECE's final closing rank (37,110) is close to last year's 38,827, showing that IIIT Trichy's competitiveness has stayed broadly consistent year-on-year.

ECE VLSI moved higher than in 2025, closing at 38,767 versus 32,763 last year, meaning candidates with somewhat higher ranks had a better shot at ECE VLSI in 2026 than in 2025.

IIIT Trichy CSE Cutoff 2026

The IIIT Trichy CSE cutoff 2026 remained the toughest among all B.Tech branches right through to the final round. For the OPEN Gender-Neutral category, CSE opened at 13,647 and closed at 27,913 in Round 5. For the OPEN Female-only quota, the final closing rank was 38,981.

For reserved categories in the final round, CSE closed at 4,592 for EWS, 11,378 for OBC-NCL, 5,026 for SC, and 2,721 for ST under the Gender-Neutral quota. Under the Female-only quota, the final closing rank was 6,945 for EWS, 16,043 for OBC-NCL, 8,730 for SC, and 3,754 for ST.

Compared with Round 1, the CSE Gender-Neutral OPEN closing rank moved up by 3,720 ranks by the final round (from 24,193 to 27,913), broadly in line with how the branch behaved in the 2025 cycle, when CSE closed at 28,335 in the final round.
