JEE Advanced 2025: BTech chemical engineering closing cut-offs in IITs for open category

New Delhi • June 2025
The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) has released the closing cut-off ranks for BTech in Chemical Engineering across various Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) for the Open (gender-neutral) category. The data shows moderate competitiveness in comparison to top branches like Computer Science or Electrical Engineering but remains a popular choice among core engineering aspirants.
🎯 Closing Ranks for BTech Chemical Engineering – Open Category (Gender-Neutral)
Institute Name | Closing Rank (Open) |
---|---|
IIT Delhi | 2211 – 2231 |
IIT Bombay | ~2545 |
IIT Kanpur | ~4000 – 4200 |
🔬 Key Highlights:
IIT Delhi had the most competitive closing rank in Chemical Engineering this year, with the final allotment going up to AIR 2231.
IIT Bombay followed closely, closing at around 2545.
IIT Kanpur, known for its strong chemical research facilities, admitted students up to a rank of ~4200, offering slightly more flexibility.
📉 Trend Analysis
While Computer Science and Engineering continues to dominate the top ranks, Chemical Engineering holds a strong position among students aiming for careers in the petrochemical, materials, R&D, and manufacturing sectors.
The cut-offs suggest that candidates with a rank under 2,500 have a realistic chance at top IITs like Bombay and Delhi for this branch.
Mid-tier IITs (e.g., IIT Guwahati, IIT Roorkee) are likely to have even higher cut-offs (up to 6,000–7,000), making them viable for aspirants slightly beyond the top tier.
📌 What Aspirants Should Know
Ensure your JoSAA counselling choices reflect realistic cut-off expectations.
Prepare backups at newer IITs or parallel branches like Metallurgy, Biochemical, or Material Science if your rank is above 5,000.
Stay updated with round-wise counselling data, as ranks often fluctuate in later rounds due to seat withdrawals or branch upgrades.
