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

• GATE (M.Tech): GATE cutoff scores for IIT Indore rose in 2025. CSE General cutoff moved from approximately 600 (2024) to 630 (2025). As a newer IIT, IIT Indore's GATE cutoffs are competitive but slightly lower than the older IITs, making it an attractive option for M.Tech aspirants.
• IIT JAM (M.Sc): JAM cutoffs remained relatively stable. Physics moved from 30 (2024) to 32 (2025), Chemistry from 27 to 28, and Mathematics from 24 to 26. IIT Indore's science programmes are strengthening as the institute invests in research infrastructure.

Key Factors Affecting IIT Indore Cutoffs

• JEE Advanced Difficulty: Harder papers push overall qualifying marks down, potentially widening closing ranks for lower-demand branches.
• Seat Matrix: IIT Indore 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 Indore for document verification.
