Closing ranks by branch
Each number is the last JEE Main rank that got a seat. Open and female-only columns use the Common Rank List; EWS, OBC-NCL, SC and ST columns use category ranks. All columns are gender-neutral seats unless marked female.

Questions students ask
What is the CSE cutoff at NIT Agartala?
In JoSAA 2026 round 5, CSE at NIT Agartala closed at JEE Main rank 24,527 for General, gender-neutral seats: 24,527 for other-state students and 81,209 for home-state students.
What rank is needed for NIT Agartala?
For General students, the last open seat (other-state quota, gender-neutral) closed at JEE Main rank 68,753 in JoSAA 2026. The top branches need a much better rank; see the table.
Does NIT Agartala have a home-state quota?
Yes. About half the seats are for students who passed Class 12 in Tripura. Home-state seats close at different ranks, often much later for in-demand branches.
Is NIT Agartala admission through JEE Main or JEE Advanced?
JEE Main, through JoSAA counselling. You also need 75% in Class 12 (65% for SC, ST, PwD) or a top-20-percentile board result.
