Admission to IIT Guwahati is strictly determined by the JEE Advanced cutoff. Candidates participating in the JoSAA counselling process must meet the closing ranks to secure a seat. In the previous 2025 admission cycle, B.Tech (Computer Science and Engineering) was the most competitive specialization with a closing rank of 792 for General category candidates.

Factors Determining IIT Guwahati Cutoff 2026

  • Exam Difficulty Level: Harder entrance papers typically lower the overall cutoff requirement.
  • Applicant Volume: High demand for core technical branches drives up the closing ranks.
  • Seat Matrix Availability: Limited seats across General, OBC, SC, ST, and EWS categories heavily dictate the category-wise closing margins.
  • Previous Year Trends: Historical demand heavily dictates current year opening and closing patterns.
