Yeshwantrao Chavan College of Engineering (YCCE), Nagpur accepts JEE Main scores for B.Tech admission through the Maharashtra admission process. For the 2026-27 admission cycle, the YCCE JEE Main cutoff has not been released yet. The latest confirmed cutoff data is from 2025, which can be used to understand the likely rank range for different B.Tech programmes.

For JEE Main 2025, the Maharashtra JEE Main closing rank for YCCE ranged from 11,943 for B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering to 40,504 for Mechanical Engineering in Round 1 for the General category. CSE, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, Information Technology, AI & Data Science and Computer Technology were among the more competitive programmes.

YCCE also accepts JEE Main percentile for its Institute Level Quota (ILQ). The institute states that 80% of B.Tech seats are filled through CAP rounds, while 20% are available under the Institute Level Quota, subject to Maharashtra admission rules. Candidates seeking ILQ or vacant seats after CAP must complete the required registration and obtain a merit number from the Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test Cell.

YCCE JEE Main Cutoff 2026: Latest Update

The YCCE JEE Main Cutoff 2026 is yet to be released. The cutoff will become available after the relevant 2026 admission/allotment rounds are conducted.

For candidates planning admission through JEE Main, the 2025 cutoff is the most useful confirmed benchmark. The cutoff is reported as an All India closing rank for JEE Main-based admission, while Maharashtra-specific JEE Main data is reported separately for candidates considered through the Maharashtra admission framework.

YCCE JEE Main Cutoff 2025

The 2025 YCCE JEE Main cutoff varied significantly by B.Tech specialisation. For the Maharashtra JEE Main General category, the Round 1 closing rank ranged from 11,943 for CSE to 40,504 for Mechanical Engineering.

The above figures represent the reported Maharashtra JEE Main Round 1 closing ranks for the General category and should not be mixed with the separate All India quota figures.

YCCE JEE Main Cutoff 2025: Round-Wise

The YCCE JEE Main cutoff changed across the counselling rounds. In several programmes, closing ranks moved to higher numbers in later rounds as seats remained available.

Round-wise figures reported for YCCE's JEE Main cutoff can vary across databases because some datasets distinguish Maharashtra-specific admissions from All India quota data. Candidates should therefore compare the quota, category and round before using a cutoff rank as an admission benchmark.

YCCE JEE Main Cutoff 2025: All India Quota

YCCE also has JEE Main-based All India admission data. The reported Round 1 General-category closing ranks were considerably higher than the Maharashtra-specific JEE Main ranks because these represent a different admission pool.

These figures are specifically reported as General-category All India quota closing ranks and should not be compared directly with Maharashtra JEE Main ranks without considering the admission quota.

YCCE JEE Main Cutoff: Previous Year Trend

The YCCE JEE Main cutoff has varied across years depending on the course, quota and counselling round. For example, the reported All India General-category closing rank for CSE was 155,179 in 2025, compared with 139,021 in 2024 in one published dataset.

For the Maharashtra JEE Main admission pool, CSE closed at 11,943 in Round 1 in 2025 compared with 9,405 in 2024. AI & ML closed at 13,585 in 2025 compared with 11,058 in 2024.

YCCE JEE Main Cutoff 2026: Expected Rank

The final YCCE JEE Main cutoff 2026 cannot be stated until the 2026 allotment results are released. However, the 2025 cutoff provides a useful benchmark for candidates preparing their college preferences.

Based on the latest available trend, candidates with a Maharashtra JEE Main rank around 12,000 or better were competitive for CSE in the first round, while ranks in the 13,000–20,000 range were relevant for AI/ML, IT, AI & Data Science, Computer Technology and CSE & Design. Candidates with ranks above 20,000 could still find options in Electronics, Electrical, Civil and Mechanical Engineering, depending on the counselling round.

These are trend-based benchmarks, not guaranteed 2026 cutoffs.

YCCE JEE Main Cutoff vs MHT CET Cutoff

YCCE accepts both JEE Main and MHT-CET for B.Tech admission. The two examinations should not be compared using the same numerical cutoff because MHT-CET admissions are generally represented through percentiles/ranks within the Maharashtra admission system, whereas JEE Main data can be presented as All India or Maharashtra-specific ranks depending on the admission pool.

For example, the 2025 Maharashtra CAP Round 1 cutoff for CSE through MHT-CET was reported at 95.31 percentile, while the Maharashtra JEE Main Round 1 closing rank for CSE was 11,943 for the General category.
