NIT Kurukshetra Cutoff

Latest matching cutoff: 2026 Round 5

JoSAA’s official Opening and Closing Ranks page currently provides the 2026-27 counselling table. For NIT Kurukshetra Computer Science and Engineering (four-year B.Tech), Round 5, OPEN category, the table returns four separate combinations of quota and gender pool. In Home State (HS), the Gender-Neutral row opened at rank 6,410 and closed at 9,766; the Female-only row opened at 7,136 and closed at 14,392. In Other State (OS), the Gender-Neutral row opened at 6,460 and closed at 8,701; the Female-only row opened at 13,219 and closed at 16,044. These are the values visible for that exact filter, not a combined CSE range. JoSAA 2026 Opening and Closing Ranks

JoSAA states that OPEN-seat opening and closing ranks represent the Common Rank List (CRL). Read each value as a rank boundary in the listed counselling result, not a score, percentile, guaranteed admission threshold or estimate for another pool. The official page lists programme, quota, seat type and gender together because each filter changes which allotment history is being described. Keep all of those dimensions attached when you record or compare a number. JoSAA 2026 Opening and Closing Ranks

This is one exact CSE example, not a complete Kurukshetra cutoff catalogue. JoSAA’s selector includes other four-year programmes, B.Arch and integrated five-year programmes. Their records should be looked up separately rather than inferred from CSE or folded into an institution-wide range. The live result table is the authority for the selected combination and may change when a different round, category, programme or year is chosen.

Keep the rank, quota and seat pool together

A closing rank is useful only after you match the applicant’s situation to the row. Start with the exact programme and duration shown in JoSAA. Then select the counselling round, seat category, quota and gender pool. For the example above, OPEN is the selected seat category and the page explicitly says OPEN ranks are CRL. The two quota labels, HS and OS, are separate results. The page also separates Gender-Neutral from Female-only seats, including supernumerary seats. A reader should not replace these distinctions with a single “CSE cutoff” figure. JoSAA 2026 Opening and Closing Ranks

The JoSAA page’s note distinguishes OPEN ranks from category-specific rank lists: EWS, OBC-NCL, SC and ST rows use their respective category ranks, while PwD rows use PwD ranks within the respective categories. A number from one of those lists cannot be compared directly with an OPEN CRL number as though both described the same applicant ranking scale. The table may also show a “P” suffix when a rank comes from a preparatory rank list. Preserve that suffix if it appears; do not turn it into an ordinary numeric rank or silently remove it. JoSAA 2026 Opening and Closing Ranks

Opening and closing ranks summarize the allotment range for the chosen result row. They do not tell an applicant where they will be placed in a future choice order, whether a seat will be available in a later cycle, or how a different gender/category/quota pool will behave. JoSAA seat allocation follows its current business rules and applicant choices; the institute points candidates to the relevant JoSAA and CSAB prospectuses for admission queries. Read those rules with the correct year rather than treating a rank table as a substitute for eligibility or counselling instructions.

Compare cycles without mixing unlike rows

A year-to-year trend requires two rows with the same institute, academic programme, counselling round, category, quota, gender pool and rank measure. If one year has a Round 5 OPEN OS Gender-Neutral row and another has a Round 1 HS Female-only row, the difference does not show that the programme became more or less competitive. It compares different applicant pools and different stages of seat allocation. Use the same JoSAA filters for each year, record the exact labels beside both values, and then compare opening with opening and closing with closing. JoSAA Opening and Closing Ranks archive

This page records one 2026-27 Round 5 CSE snapshot and does not claim a movement against 2025. No prior-year row with all the same qualifiers was collected for this packet, so a numerical trend would add false precision. Applicants can use JoSAA’s previous-year archive to repeat the query for an earlier year and build a true like-for-like series. If a programme name, category definition or seat pool changes between years, state that difference and avoid presenting the rows as directly comparable.

A closing rank is a historical outcome, not a safe/unsafe boundary for an individual. The result depends on the full set of choices and seats in that year and on which round is being considered. Applicants should treat the past row as context for planning a broad choice list, not as a promise that a rank on one side of the boundary will produce the same allotment next year. Follow the live counselling instructions and make choices using the applicable rules.

What a 2027 applicant should do

The assignment edition of this page is 2027-28, but the latest official cutoff evidence reviewed here is from JoSAA 2026-27. NIT Kurukshetra’s B.Tech admission page is labelled Admission 2026 and links the JoSAA and CSAB 2026 materials; its general admission page says B.Tech admissions use JEE (Main) scores through JoSAA. Neither page establishes a 2027 cutoff or a future counselling calendar. The four ranks above therefore remain explicitly historical 2026 Round 5 evidence. Check the institute and JoSAA for the actual 2027 notice when it is issued. NIT Kurukshetra admission process · B.Tech and B.Arch Admission 2026

To use the official table, select the counselling round, institute type, NIT Kurukshetra, exact academic programme and seat category. Read the returned quota and gender-pool labels before copying the opening and closing ranks. If you are comparing a different category, use that category’s rank scale and note JoSAA’s page explanation. If the exact course or pool has no row, leave it unreported rather than borrowing a nearby programme’s value. Recheck the table after the next relevant JoSAA update; archived tables are useful for historical comparison but cannot replace the active-year instructions.

NIT Kurukshetra directs applicants with B.Tech admission queries to the JoSAA and CSAB prospectuses and lists its academic admission help desk on the institute’s B.Tech page. For questions about current eligibility, choice filling, seat acceptance or reporting, use the notice for the operative counselling year and contact the institute or counselling authority listed there. The rank table helps frame one part of a decision; it does not answer whether a course fits your goals, whether you meet the current rules, or what costs and reporting steps apply after allocation.
