Chemical cutoff: frequently asked questions
Which NIT has the lowest Chemical cutoff in Round 1 2026?
For OPEN Other State gender-neutral seats, NIT Tiruchirappalli had the lowest Chemical closing rank at CRL 11,645. A lower closing rank means the seat was harder to get. NIT Srinagar had the highest at CRL 45,177.
How many NITs offer Chemical Engineering in this data?
17 institutes list Chemical Engineering with Round 1 cutoffs in this dataset.
Is the Chemical cutoff the same for every category?
No. OPEN seats use CRL rank, while EWS, OBC-NCL, SC and ST seats use their own category ranks, so the numbers in each column are not directly comparable. Home State (HS) ranks are only for candidates from that NIT's state.
