These are JoSAA 2026 opening and closing ranks for OPEN-category seats, Rounds 1–5, on the JEE Advanced Common Rank List (CRL). Closing rank is the last rank that got a seat in that round; a lower number is harder to get. "R5 Open" is the first rank admitted in Round 5; "R1 Close" is Round 1's closing rank, and so on. Female-only seats include supernumerary seats. A dash means no seat was allotted in that round. JoSAA also publishes EWS, OBC-NCL, SC, ST and PwD cutoffs. 2027 cutoffs will differ; confirm on the JoSAA website. Updated .
