Pt. Dwarka Prasad Mishra Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design & Manufacture Jabalpur Cutoff

A cutoff belongs to a programme, round and seat category

IIITDM Jabalpur does not have one universal “cutoff.” B.Tech. seats are allocated through JEE Main rank and JoSAA counselling; the relevant closing rank depends on the academic programme, round, seat type or category, and gender pool shown in the official result. B.Des. uses UCEED and, after centralized counselling, the institute may run its own spot round if seats remain. That spot notice can state category cut-off scores rather than JoSAA closing ranks. These are different admission routes and different measures, so do not compare a UCEED score directly with a JEE Main rank.

The figures below are dated 2026-27 reference data for the 2026 batch. They are not 2027-28 admission thresholds and do not guarantee a seat.

B.Tech.: read the JoSAA rank table by filter

JoSAA’s official opening/closing-rank page is headed for the 2026-27 academic year. It requires the applicant to select a counselling round, institute type, institute name, academic programme and seat type/category. Only after all five choices match can the opening and closing ranks be interpreted. A rank in one row should not be treated as a general eligibility cutoff for every B.Tech. branch.

JoSAA explains that OPEN-seat ranks are Common Rank List (CRL) ranks. EWS, OBC-NCL, SC and ST rows use their respective category ranks. PwD rows use the PwD rank within the respective category. A rank with a “P” suffix is from the Preparatory Rank List. This matters when comparing a result with a JEE Main scorecard: compare the same rank list, seat type and gender pool rather than switching between CRL and category rank.

The JoSAA interface loaded the 2026-27 filter form but did not expose IIITDM’s selected programme rows in the accessible result view. This article therefore does not invent B.Tech. opening or closing numbers from a third-party table. Use the official JoSAA opening and closing ranks tool, select the exact 2026 round and course, and retain the row’s seat type and gender pool. The 2027-28 JoSAA table must be checked separately when published.

B.Des.: the 2026 spot round used UCEED scores

After centralized UCEED counselling, IIITDM issued an institute-level spot notice for the 2026 B.Des. batch. The notice said applicants had to be registered on the UCEED portal and not have been offered a seat. It stated that all categories would be considered on UCEED score, subject to the specified eligibility checks. Those included qualifying UCEED 2026, passing all five Class XII subjects in 2025 or 2026, and Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics at 10+2. This is historical process information for the 2026 batch, not a confirmed 2027-28 rule.

The institute’s second spot list, dated 5 August 2026, prints the following category cutoff scores for that list:

These are UCEED scores, not ranks. The institute’s page says a candidate above the category cutoff who was not in the selected list would be waitlisted and could be considered if a selected candidate did not join or confirm by the deadline. A score at or above the line did not itself guarantee admission: eligibility, category, seat availability, document verification and timely fee payment still mattered. The list is one later spot-round list, not the overall UCEED closing score across all IIITDM admission routes.

The notice described vacant seats as a snapshot that could increase after withdrawals. It also said spot admission was based on UCEED score and that candidates had to apply through the online form. These conditions explain why a spot threshold can differ from a centralized counselling rank or from an earlier list. Do not carry the OPEN and ST values to other categories or another year.

Why successive rounds can show different closing ranks

JoSAA opening and closing ranks describe the admitted-rank range for a specific row and round. A later round can close at a different rank as candidates accept, withdraw, move to another choice, or seats become available. A closing rank is not a guaranteed “safe” rank for the next year: seat demand, applicant preferences, seat matrix and counselling rules can change. The official tool’s round selector is part of the result, not optional context.

B.Des. institute-level spot selection is also vacancy-dependent. IIITDM’s notice said listed vacancies were as of its advertisement and could change due to cancellations or withdrawals; updated vacancies at result time could be considered. The second-list note describes a waitlist process tied to candidates not joining or confirming. These mechanics can move a later selection list without turning its category cutoff score into a permanent minimum for the programme.

How to compare a rank with your own result

First identify the programme and route. For B.Tech., use JEE Main and the JoSAA row. For B.Des., determine whether you are comparing UCEED centralized counselling or an institute spot notice. Then match the academic year, round, category or seat type, gender pool and rank list. Keep the number’s unit visible: a JEE Main CRL/category rank is not a UCEED mark, and neither is a percentile.

For example, the 2026 B.Des. second spot list gives an OPEN score cutoff of 162 and an ST score cutoff of 44. These values belong only to that list and spot round. They do not indicate a B.Tech. JEE rank or a general UCEED closing rank. A candidate who meets a printed spot threshold still has to satisfy the notice’s eligibility and seat-confirmation conditions.

2027-28 thresholds remain to be checked

The official 2026-27 JoSAA page and IIITDM’s 2026 B.Des. spot notice provide prior-cycle reference points. No 2027-28 JoSAA opening/closing rank or IIITDM B.Des. spot cutoff was found in the institutional and counselling sources reviewed for this page. When the next cycle opens, use its official counselling result rather than applying the 2026 figures as predictions.

Before choice filling, confirm the exact programme name, current seat matrix, category certificate rules, gender pool, route and choice of round. After each round, save the official result row and note whether the rank is CRL, category rank or PwD rank. For B.Des. spot rounds, read the institute’s notice for eligibility, score threshold, vacancies, application deadline, list status and fee confirmation. These checks make historical cutoffs useful context without turning them into a promise.
