JEE Main college predictor

Enter your rank. The tool checks every seat group from JoSAA 2026, round 5, and lists the programs whose closing rank was at or after your rank.

A prediction, not a guarantee. It is based on last year's official JoSAA closing ranks (2026, final round 5, copied 2026-10-11). This year's closing ranks will be different.

How the groups work

Only programs where your rank is at or before last year's closing rank are shown. Your rank divided by the closing rank puts each one in a group.

  • Safe: Your rank is 80% of the closing rank or less. There was plenty of room last year.
  • Moderate: Your rank is between 80% and 95% of the closing rank. A small change this year can matter.
  • Reach: Your rank is between 95% and 100% of the closing rank. You got in last year only just. This year you might not.

Frequently asked questions

How does this college predictor work?

It compares your rank with the official JoSAA 2026 final-round closing ranks. It keeps only the seats you can apply for (your category, gender and home state). Then it lists every program whose closing rank was at or after your rank.

What do safe, moderate and reach mean?

Safe: your rank is 80% of last year's closing rank or less. Moderate: between 80% and 95%. Reach: between 95% and 100%. Closing ranks change every year, so even a safe result is not a promise.

Which rank should I enter?

Enter your Common Rank List (CRL) rank for OPEN seats. If you are EWS, OBC-NCL, SC or ST, also enter your category rank: JoSAA uses it for your category seats. Use your JEE Advanced ranks for IITs and your JEE Main ranks for everything else.

What is my home state for JoSAA?

Your home state is the state or union territory where you FIRST appeared for the Class 12 exam. It does not depend on where you live or where your family comes from. A few places without an NIT are linked to another NIT: Chandigarh to NIT Delhi, Andaman and Nicobar to NIT Puducherry, Ladakh to NIT Srinagar, and Lakshadweep, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu to NIT Goa (JoSAA Business Rules 2026).

Can I get an NIT with a JEE Main rank of 50,000?

In JoSAA 2026, 57 NIT seat groups (OPEN, Gender-Neutral, Other State quota) closed at or after rank 50,000. Home-state seats often close much later, so enter your home state in the tool to see them. At rank 10,000 the number was 294.

Does it include PwD seats?

No. PwD seats are filled by PwD ranks inside each category, which this tool does not ask for. You can see PwD closing ranks in the JoSAA opening and closing ranks table.

Why are B.Arch and B.Planning programs missing?

Admission to these programs uses a different paper (JEE Main Paper 2), or an extra aptitude test at IITs. Your Paper 1 rank does not apply, so the predictor leaves them out.

I only know my marks or percentile. What should I do?

First find your expected rank with the JEE Main rank predictor on this site. Then enter that rank here.
