ECE cutoff: frequently asked questions
Which NIT has the lowest ECE cutoff in Round 1 2026?
For OPEN Other State gender-neutral seats, NIT Tiruchirappalli had the lowest ECE closing rank at CRL 2,938. A lower closing rank means the seat was harder to get. NIT Nagaland had the highest at CRL 42,859.
How many NITs offer Electronics and Communication Engineering in this data?
31 institutes list Electronics and Communication Engineering with Round 1 cutoffs in this dataset.
Is the ECE 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.
