IIT Kharagpur - Indian Institute of Technology Cut Off Details

IIT Kharagpur is one of the most prestigious engineering institutions in India, and its cut-off ranks are among the most competitive. Admission is primarily based on the JEE Advanced for undergraduate programs and GATE for postgraduate programs.

Since it is currently May 2026, the official 2026 cut-offs (JoSAA Rounds) are typically released following the JEE Advanced exam results. However, we can look at the opening and closing ranks from the previous year (2025) to understand the trends. 

JEE Advanced Cut-Off Trends (B.Tech)

The following table provides the approximate closing ranks for the General Category (Gender-Neutral) for some of the most popular 4-year B.Tech programs.

8,800 – 9,000

 M.Tech (GATE ) Cut-Offs

For postgraduate admissions, IIT Kharagpur uses GATE  scores. While these vary significantly based on the specific specialization, here are the general ranges for the General Category:

  • Computer Science (CS): 750 – 820
  • Electronics (EC): 700 – 780
  • Mechanical (ME): 650 – 750
  • Civil (CE): 600 – 700

Important Factors Influencing Cut-Offs

  • Number of Applicants: A higher number of candidates usually leads to stiffer competition.
  • Difficulty Level: If the paper is exceptionally tough, the marks required for a specific rank may drop, but the rank cut-off usually remains relatively stable year-to-year.
  • Seat Matrix: Any increase in seats (such as the introduction of EWS or Female supernumerary seats) can shift the closing ranks.
