About Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering is offered through JoSAA counselling at 73 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.

Frequently asked questions

How many colleges offer Mechanical Engineering through JoSAA?

73 JoSAA participating institutes offer Mechanical Engineering through the Bachelor of Technology programme — including 23 IITs and 32 NITs. Full list with the latest cutoff data is on this page.

What is the duration of a Mechanical Engineering programme?

Most institutes offer Mechanical Engineering as a 4-year Bachelor of Technology programme. A few institutes may offer dual-degree variants; check the specific institute's deep page for programme-specific details.

Which rank do I need for Mechanical Engineering at the top colleges?

Cutoffs vary dramatically by institute. The tables show Open category, Gender-Neutral closing ranks, grouped by exam. JEE Advanced and JEE Main ranks are different scales; match the year, quota and round before comparing. For a rank-based shortlist across all colleges and branches, use the RankMatrix College & Branch Predictor.

Do I need JEE Advanced for Mechanical Engineering?

IIT and IISc programmes in JoSAA use JEE Advanced. NIT, IIIT, and GFTI seats for Mechanical Engineering are allocated from the JEE Main rank list through JoSAA.

Cutoff and seat observations are compiled from JoSAA publications; NIRF figures come from NIRF. Stored coverage can be incomplete.
