JEE Advanced Rank — Calculations & Slabs for FY 2026-27

Common Rank List (CRL) Rank is your open position among all qualified candidates across India without any reservations. Category Rank is your position within your specific reservation category (like OBC-NCL, EWS, SC, or ST). Category ranks are used for seat allocation under reserved quotas during JoSAA counselling.

This rank predictor uses linear interpolation calibrated against historical JoSAA seat allotments and expert marks-vs-rank matrices. While it provides a very reliable planning range, the actual rank list depends on the final marks distribution and tie-breaker statistics compiled by the organizing IIT.

With a CRL rank around 5,000, General category candidates can get core branches (like Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, or Civil Engineering) at top-tier IITs (Kharagpur, Roorkee, Guwahati, BHU) or Computer Science (CSE) at newer IITs (Patna, Ropar, Mandi, Jammu). This ensures full compliance with the latest regulations, allowing you to estimate values correctly and avoid common filing errors.

IITs reserve 20% supernumerary seats specifically for female candidates to improve gender balance. This results in relaxed closing ranks for female applicants, typically extending by 1.5x to 2x compared to gender-neutral cutoffs for the same college and branch. This ensures full compliance with the latest regulations, allowing you to estimate values correctly and avoid common filing errors.
