Ques. Can I get an IIT with 4000 JEE Advanced Rank?

● Top Answer By Shivam Ranjan on 29 May 24

I recently completed my Graduation from IIT BHU. Securing a rank of 4000 in JEE Advanced is a commendable achievement, and it opens up several opportunities for admission into the Indian Institutes of Technology. However, whether you can get admission into a specific IIT with this rank depends on various factors including: Some branches are more competitive than others, so the cutoff ranks may vary accordingly. Each IIT has a different number of seats available for each branch, and the cutoff ranks can fluctuate based on this. Reservation quotas may affect the cutoff ranks for different categories (General, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, etc.). The difficulty level of the exam can influence the cutoff ranks. Here are the cutoff trends for B.Tech Admissions at various IITs (for CSE and Civil Engineering branches, Open Category seats)- B.Tech cutoff trend at the IITs through JEE Advanced (Open Category) College Name B.Tech CSE B.Tech Civil Engineering IIT Madras 148 6132 IIT Delhi 118 4472 IIT Bombay 67 4371 IIT Kanpur 238 6116 IIT Roorkee 412 7100 IIT Kharagpur 279 7177 IIT Guwahati 654 8453 IIT Hyderabad 674 9303 IIT Indore 1385 10994 IIT BHU 1079 10232 I hope this gives you a basic idea of the JEE Advanced cutoff at various IITs across India.
