Non-JEE Cutoff Trends (Year-over-Year)

• GATE (M.Tech): GATE cutoff scores for IIT Guwahati rose moderately in 2025. CSE General cutoff moved from approximately 650 (2024) to 680 (2025). Electrical and Mechanical cutoffs also increased by 10-20 points, reflecting higher competition as IIT Guwahati strengthens its M.Tech research infrastructure.
• IIT JAM (M.Sc): JAM cutoffs remained stable. Physics moved from 36 (2024) to 38 (2025), Chemistry held at 32-34, and Mathematics at 28-30. The marginal increases reflect growing applicant interest in IIT Guwahati's science programmes.
• UCEED (B.Des): UCEED closing rank for B.Des tightened from 520 (2024) to 480 (2025), reflecting increased demand for IIT Guwahati's Design programme which is offered through the Department of Design.
• CEED (M.Des): CEED qualifying scores rose by 2-3 points across specialisations, with Industrial Design at 38 (General) in 2025 compared to 35 in 2024.
• CAT (MBA): CAT percentile cutoff for IIT Guwahati MBA held steady at 90 for General category. Selection also weighs group discussion, personal interview, and academic record.

Key Factors Affecting IIT Guwahati Cutoffs

• JEE Advanced Difficulty: Harder papers push overall qualifying marks down, potentially widening closing ranks for lower-demand branches.
• Seat Matrix: IIT Guwahati offers a specific number of seats per branch. Branches with fewer seats (especially CSE) see tighter competition.
• Reservation Policy: Government-mandated reservations - OBC-NCL (27%), SC (15%), ST (7.5%), EWS (10%) - create separate merit lists with category-specific cutoffs.
• JoSAA Counselling Rounds: Cutoff ranks typically relax through rounds 1-6 as candidates shuffle preferences and vacate seats.
• Branch Preference Shifts: Growing industry demand for tech and AI has made CSE and related branches increasingly competitive year over year, while traditional branches see gradual cutoff relaxation.

Admission Process Overview

• Step 1: Qualify JEE Main (top 2.5 lakh candidates) to become eligible for JEE Advanced.
• Step 2: Appear for JEE Advanced and secure an All India Rank (AIR).
• Step 3: Register on the JoSAA portal, fill branch and institute preferences.
• Step 4: Seat allocation happens across 6 rounds based on AIR, category, and preference order.
• Step 5: Accept the allocated seat, pay fees, and report to IIT Guwahati for document verification.
