JoSAA (Joint Seat Allocation Authority) controls the entire admission procedure. A total of 7 rounds of admissions and counseling take place each year.
The cutoff is released in the form of opening and closing ranks. It is further divided into categories and each category is further divided on the basis of gender.
Usually, students with an All India Rank below 1600 get admission into CSE at IIT Gandhinagar. CSE is the most sought after course among engineering aspirants. The lowest rank for getting admission in IIT Gandhinagar in 2019 was 9291 in Materials Science and Engineering.
Courses | 2019 Closing Rank | 2018 Closing Rank |
---|---|---|
Chemical Engineering | 6671 | 6180 |
Civil Engineering | 8122 | 7542 |
Computer Science and Engineering | 1548 | 1447 |
Electrical Engineering | 3299 | 3099 |
Materials Science and Engineering | 9291 | 8532 |
Mechanical Engineering | 4476 | 4229 |
It is quite evident from the above comparison table that the cutoffs for this year were lower than those for the last year. Students with relatively lower ranks in the final JEE Advanced merit list also managed to get admission into IIT Gandhinagar for a B.Tech. degree in one of the programs offered. The difficulty level of the 2019 JEE Advanced question paper could be a reason for the drop in the closing ranks for admission.
Students usually prefer other IITs like IIT Delhi, IIT Bombay, and IIT Kharagpur over IIT Gandhinagar and thus the cutoffs for these colleges are often much higher.
Here is a comparison of cutoffs between a few other IITs :
Courses | IIT Hyderabad | IIT Gandhinagar | IIT Indore |
---|---|---|---|
Computer Science and Engineering | 203-613 | 1047-1548 | 640-1020 |
Electrical Engineering | 808-1774 | 1564-3299 | 1868-3295 |
