As of June 2026, here are the most recent admission developments at Indian Institute of Technology Bombay across its B.Tech, M.Tech and M.Sc routes.

Indian Institute of Technology Bombay Admission 2026: Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility at Indian Institute of Technology Bombay is programme-specific and tied to a national entrance exam in every case. The table below answers the single most common question aspirants ask: "Am I eligible to apply to IIT Bombay for my chosen degree?" Read each row as a complete checklist - you must satisfy the qualifying degree, the marks threshold and clear the listed exam. For the flagship B.Tech, simply qualifying JEE Advanced is not enough; you must first be among the top 2,50,000 rankers in JEE Main 2026 to even sit the Advanced paper.

The key takeaway is that Indian Institute of Technology Bombay enforces the 75% Class 12 aggregate (relaxed to 65% for SC/ST/PwD) for B.Tech entrants in addition to a strong JEE Advanced rank. For M.Tech, the 60% / 6.0 CGPA floor is firm, and a valid 2026 GATE score is mandatory. B.Des aspirants must clear UCEED, while M.Sc. seekers route through JAM 2026, which IIT Bombay itself organises this cycle. Confirm your category relaxation against the official 2026 brochure before applying.

Course-Wise Admission Status

This section tells you, programme by programme, whether the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay application window is open, how many seats are at stake, and the admission mode. It directly answers "Can I still apply to IIT Bombay in June 2026?" As of June 2026, B.Tech admission has moved into the JoSAA counselling and reporting stage, while the M.Tech and M.Sc. application windows have already closed and are in their allotment phases. Use the seats column to gauge competition before you firm up your choices.

The practical takeaway for June 2026: only B.Tech aspirants have live action left through JoSAA, and they must complete online reporting before 26 June 2026. With just 1,368 B.Tech and Dual Degree seats, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay is among the most competitive IITs, so lock your branch preferences carefully across the five JoSAA rounds. M.Tech, B.Des and M.Sc. candidates should track their respective COAP, UCEED and JAM allotment portals for any subsequent rounds.

Application Fees

This table separates each category onto its own row so you pay exactly the right amount when applying for Indian Institute of Technology Bombay programmes. It answers "How much does it cost to apply?" and, crucially, distinguishes the exam/application fee (paid to the conducting body) from the institute's tuition. For B.Tech, the fee shown is the JEE Advanced 2026 registration fee paid to the IIT system; for M.Tech, it is the application fee paid directly to IIT Bombay. Note that female candidates across all categories pay the concessional JEE Advanced rate.

To be clear, these application fees are entirely separate from tuition. Once admitted, B.Tech students at Indian Institute of Technology Bombay pay a tuition fee of ₹8,00,000 for the full four-year course (roughly ₹2,00,000 per year before hostel and other charges), while the M.Tech programme tuition is ₹2,00,000 for the two-year course. SC/ST/PwD students and those from lower family-income brackets are eligible for substantial tuition waivers under the institute's fee remission scheme. JEE Advanced application fees were broadly stable between 2025 and 2026, so budget the same amounts if you are reapplying.

Entrance Exam Requirements

Indian Institute of Technology Bombay does not run its own admission test for degree programmes; it accepts national exams, and each degree maps to exactly one. This table answers "Which exam do I need, when is it, and what score gets me in?" so you can target the right paper. The competitive benchmark matters most for B.Tech: at IIT Bombay, a JEE Advanced All India Rank inside the mid-60s is needed for Computer Science, while many other branches close several thousand ranks later. Read the qualifying-score column as the realistic IIT Bombay bar, not just the exam's pass mark.

The headline takeaway is that JEE Advanced 2026 (held 17 May 2026) is the decisive exam for the vast majority of aspirants targeting Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. To stand a real chance at the flagship CSE branch you need a General-category rank around 66, whereas core engineering branches remain accessible up to roughly rank 4,345 in the General category based on 2025 closing data. M.Tech, B.Des and M.Sc. seekers should align their preparation with GATE, UCEED and JAM respectively, since IIT Bombay accepts no substitute exams for these routes.

Cutoff Analysis (2024-2026)

This is the table aspirants study hardest: the category-wise JEE Advanced closing ranks that decide who gets into Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. It answers "What rank do I need for my category?" The figures below are 2025 closing ranks for the most competitive (CSE-level) programme by category, followed by the realistic spread across all B.Tech branches. Lower-population reserved categories naturally close at sharper ranks for the top branch. Treat these as the ceiling you must beat, then read the trend discussion underneath.

The flagship Computer Science closing rank at Indian Institute of Technology Bombay has tightened steadily over three years: the General-category figure moved from 68 in 2024 to 66 in 2025 and further to 65 in 2026 (Round 1). This gradual fall reflects rising demand and the institute's status as the most preferred IIT for CSE, meaning the rank bar keeps inching upward in difficulty. Across other B.Tech branches the General closing rank stretched to about 4,345 in 2025, so candidates with four-figure ranks still have strong options in core engineering disciplines. Reserved-category aspirants should note the sharp top-branch ranks (ST 19, EWS 20, SC 31, OBC-NCL 54 in 2025) and aim well inside these to secure CSE, while broader branches close much later. For B.Des, the UCEED 2025 EWS closing rank stood near 250, indicating a tight design-stream intake.

Counselling Process

Admission to Indian Institute of Technology Bombay B.Tech is handled centrally through JoSAA, not by the institute directly. Follow these steps in order:

1. JEE Advanced result (1 June 2026): Confirm your All India Rank and category rank on jeeadv.ac.in.
2. JoSAA registration and choice filling (from 2 June 2026): Register on josaa.nic.in and lock your branch and institute preferences, placing IIT Bombay choices in priority order.
3. Mock allotments: Review the mock seat allotment results and adjust your choice order if needed before the lock deadline.
4. Seat allotment (Round 1 on 13 June 2026): Seats are allotted by rank, category and preference across the five JoSAA rounds.
5. Seat acceptance and fee payment: Pay the seat acceptance fee of ₹30,000 (₹15,000 for SC/ST/PwD) to confirm your allotted seat.
6. Document verification and online reporting (until 26 June 2026): Upload and verify your documents for the allotted IIT Bombay seat.
7. Reporting to IIT Bombay: Complete final admission formalities at the institute as per the joining schedule.

M.Tech aspirants follow a parallel flow through COAP (organised by IIT Roorkee for 2026-27) using GATE scores, while M.Sc. candidates use the JOAPS portal where IIT Bombay, as JAM 2026 organiser, releases successive admission lists.

Important Dates (2026)

This master calendar consolidates every milestone on the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay B.Tech admission timeline, anchored to the JEE Advanced 2026 and JoSAA schedule. It answers "What are all the deadlines I must not miss?" in one place. Each row carries a status so you can instantly see what is done and what is still live as of June 2026. The single most important upcoming deadline for allotted candidates is the JoSAA online reporting cut-off of 26 June 2026.

The clear action point: if you hold an Indian Institute of Technology Bombay seat from JoSAA Round 1, complete online reporting and document verification before 26 June 2026 or risk forfeiting the allotment. Because JEE Advanced offers no correction window, any data errors had to be avoided at submission, so double-check your candidate profile during JoSAA itself. Subsequent JoSAA rounds (the cycle runs five rounds) may still open seats, so candidates on the margin should stay registered and keep their choices active.
