CSE cutoff: frequently asked questions
Which NIT has the lowest CSE cutoff in Round 5 2026?
For OPEN Other State gender-neutral seats, NIT Tiruchirappalli had the lowest CSE closing rank at CRL 1,317. A lower closing rank means the seat was harder to get. NIT Manipur had the highest at CRL 43,239.
How many NITs offer Computer Science and Engineering in this data?
32 institutes list Computer Science and Engineering with Round 5 cutoffs in this dataset.
Is the CSE cutoff the same for every category?
No. OPEN seats use CRL rank, while EWS, OBC-NCL, SC and ST seats use their own category ranks, so the numbers in each column are not directly comparable. Home State (HS) ranks are only for candidates from that NIT's state.
