Data coverage: JoSAA 2026 · By Divyansh Agarwal
About Data Science and Artificial Intelligence
Data Science and Artificial Intelligence is offered through JoSAA counselling at 6 participating institutes in the stored catalogue. Admission is merit-based — IIT and IISc seats are allocated from the JEE Advanced rank list; NIT, IIIT, and GFTI seats use JEE Main. Every institute below takes the branch through the Bachelor of Technology, 4-year programme.
The tables show the latest stored JoSAA year's Open category, Gender-Neutral cutoffs, grouped by admission exam and listed alphabetically within each group. JEE Advanced and JEE Main ranks are different scales and must not be compared numerically. Even within one exam, match the year, rank list, quota and round before comparing. Each quota shows its own latest available round. A lower closing rank does not by itself establish that a college is better.
