IIIT Una Cutoff 2025 for General AI Category
These are the Round 1 and last-round closing ranks for General category applicants. Use these to set realistic expectations when you choose preferences.
| Course | Round 1 (Closing Rank) | Last Round (Closing Rank) |
|---|---|---|
| B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) | 29642 | 42692 |
| B.Tech. in CSE (Cyber Security) | 31192 | 47183 |
| B.Tech. in CSE (Data Science) | 30961 | 45713 |
| B.Tech. in Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) | 35148 | 60792 |
IIIT Una Cutoff 2025 for OBC AI Category
| Course | Round 1 (Closing Rank) | Last Round (Closing Rank) |
|---|---|---|
| B.Tech. in CSE | 11776 | 59699 |
| B.Tech. in ECE | 14238 | 79526 |
| B.Tech. in CSE (Cyber Security) | 12868 | 63851 |
| B.Tech. in CSE (Data Science) | 12405 | 63037 |
The OBC last-round ranks show a wide spread from early-round demand (low Round 1 ranks) to much later allotments — this suggests significant movement during counselling and vacancy filling.
IIIT Una Cutoff 2025 for SC AI Category
| Course | Round 1 (Closing Rank) | Last Round (Closing Rank) |
|---|---|---|
| B.Tech. in CSE | 7232 | 200387 |
| B.Tech. in ECE | 8583 | 227809 |
| B.Tech. in CSE (Cyber Security) | 7321 | 192210 |
| B.Tech. in CSE (Data Science) | 7359 | 171572 |
SC category figures show that some seats were filled early while many vacancies pushed closing ranks very high in later rounds.
IIIT Una Cutoff 2025 for ST AI Category
| Course | Round 1 (Closing Rank) | Last Round (Closing Rank) |
|---|---|---|
| B.Tech. in CSE | 3805 | 390461 |
| B.Tech. in ECE | 4368 | 554969 |
| B.Tech. in CSE (Cyber Security) | 3555 | 415932 |
| B.Tech. in CSE (Data Science) | 3943 | 401583 |
ST last-round ranks are extremely high — this usually happens when initial demand is low and later rounds fill seats using wider rank pools.
IIIT Una Cutoff 2025 for EWS AI Category
| Course | Round 1 (Closing Rank) | Last Round (Closing Rank) |
|---|---|---|
| B.Tech. in CSE | 4725 | 55304 |
| B.Tech. in ECE | 5633 | 77644 |
| B.Tech. in CSE (Cyber Security) | 4865 | 56683 |
| B.Tech. in CSE (Data Science) | 4764 | 56009 |
EWS shows a large swing between Round 1 and the last round, reflecting the two-tier movement common in counselling.
IIIT Una Cutoff 2025 for PWD AI Category
| Course | Round 1 (Closing Rank) | Last Round (Closing Rank) |
|---|---|---|
| B.Tech. in CSE | 925 | 723399 |
| B.Tech. in ECE | 1670 | 1218130 |
| B.Tech. in CSE (Cyber Security) | 1413 | 1296720 |
PWD ranks start very low in Round 1 but the last-round ranks are extremely high. That usually reflects few initial applicants and many vacant seats being allocated from much lower-ranked pools later.
Round-wise trends: opening vs last closing highlights
- General CSE: Round 1 29642 → Last 42692 . Demand stayed high; CSE remained the top choice.
- OBC CSE: Round 1 11776 → Last 59699 . A big jump shows heavy reshuffling and acceptance movement across rounds.
- EWS and PWD categories showed wide swings between Round 1 and the final rounds, signalling later-stage vacancy filling.
Interpretation: early-round closing ranks show where top preference landed. Last-round ranks reveal how far down the seat allotment process went to fill seats. If you are below the Round 1 rank but above the last-round rank, you had a chance in later rounds — depending on category and withdrawals.
Branch competitiveness explained (IIIT Una Cutoff 2025)
CSE was the most competitive branch across categories in 2025. That means more applicants listed CSE higher in their choices than other branches.
Why CSE? Demand comes from perceived better placements and broader career options (software, data science, cybersecurity). The specialised CSE streams (Data Science, Cyber Security) showed slightly higher closing ranks than plain CSE in some categories, but overall CSE variants stayed competitive.
ECE had the highest last-round ranks in several categories. That makes ECE the least competitive at IIIT Una by these closing ranks. If your JEE Main rank is borderline, ECE raises your chance of getting an IIIT Una BTech seat.
Sub-specialisations: Data Science vs Cyber Security
- Data Science often attracts students targeting analytics and ML roles. Its last-round ranks are close to general CSE in many categories.
- Cyber Security attracts niche interest; its last-round ranks sometimes sit between CSE and ECE.
Use these patterns when you arrange preferences: if you strongly want CSE, list it high. If you want to maximise the chance of an IIIT seat, keep ECE and the CSE specialisations as backup choices.
How seat allotment worked in 2025: JoSAA and CSAB process
Seat allotments for IIIT Una in 2025 were managed through the standard counselling process. JoSAA handled up to six rounds. After that, CSAB conducted three additional rounds to fill vacant seats.
What does a "last round closing rank" mean? It is the rank of the lowest-ranked candidate who got a seat in that branch/category at the end of the process shown. If your rank is better (numerically lower) than that closing rank, you would have been eligible in that final allotment.
Implication for waiting/upgrade decisions
- If you accepted an earlier JoSAA seat and then got an upgrade in a later round, you had to follow the counselling rules to freeze or float.
- If you were waiting for CSAB, know that vacancy-filling in CSAB can push closing ranks very deep — especially for reserved categories.
Who is eligible and how ranks translate to admission chances
Admission to IIIT Una BTech in 2025 was based on JEE Main ranks under the All-India quota. Category-wise JEE Main ranks determine your eligibility for each branch.
How to use closing ranks:
- If your JEE Main rank is numerically lower than a branch's last-round closing rank for your category, you likely would have received a seat there.
- Compare both Round 1 and last-round ranks to see how predictable a branch is. Narrow ranges mean stable demand; wide ranges mean lot of movement across counselling.
Limitations in the published data:
- The published ranks do not show state/home-quota differences. These are AI-quota figures only.
- The data does not convert ranks to percentiles or marks.
Practical advice for applicants and future aspirants
1) Build a realistic preference list
Keep CSE variants on top if you strongly prefer them. But include ECE and other specialisations as backups if your rank is near the last-round closing ranks in your category.
2) Monitor JoSAA rounds closely
Early rounds tell you where top demand lies. If you miss a preferred branch in Round 1, look at trends before deciding whether to wait for upgrades.
3) Know when to wait for CSAB
If you’re just below the last JoSAA closing rank, waiting for CSAB is often sensible — especially in categories where last-round ranks jumped a lot. But understand this is a risk: seats can be few and competition unpredictable.
4) Document & prepare for admission formalities
Keep your category/PGC/Caste certificates, disability certificates (for PWD), and class 12 mark sheet ready. Documentation requirements follow JoSAA/CSAB rules; be ready to upload or produce originals at reporting.
5) Use the numbers to plan backups
If your rank is above the last-round rank for CSE in your category, consider IIIT Una’s other branches or similar colleges where closing ranks were closer to your score.
Data gaps and what additional information to look for
The published cutoff ranks are useful, but several gaps remain:
- No fee structure or tuition details for IIIT Una BTech programs were published with the cutoffs. Check the institute website for fee schedules.
- Seat matrix and intake numbers per branch and category were not included here. Intake counts help you judge how many seats were actually available.
- No historical trend comparison across years was attached. Trends (2019–2025) show whether a branch is becoming more or less competitive.
- No counselling schedule dates (JoSAA/CSAB 2025 exact dates) were published with these ranks. Refer to official JoSAA/CSAB releases for schedules.
- No conversion of ranks to percentile or minimum qualifying marks was provided.
- No placement or salary statistics were included; those numbers matter if you choose branches based on ROI.
- Tie-breaking rules and exact document checklists were not part of the cutoff release.
Suggested actions for you:
- Check the IIIT Una official website and JoSAA/CSAB portals for seat matrices, fee details and counselling calendars.
- Contact the institute directly for placement reports and branch-wise intake if you need them for decision-making.

Notes on extremely high PWD/ST last-round ranks: these reflect vacancy-filling dynamics where few candidates applied or accepted early, and counselling had to go deep into lower-ranked pools to fill seats.
FAQs (IIIT Una Cutoff 2025)
Q1: Which branch was most competitive at IIIT Una in 2025?
A: Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) — including its Data Science and Cyber Security specialisations — was the most competitive across categories.
Q2: What was the General category CSE last round closing rank in 2025?
A: The General category CSE last-round closing rank was 42692 .
Q3: Who managed seat allotments for IIIT Una in 2025?
A: JoSAA managed seat allotments up to six rounds. After JoSAA, CSAB conducted three additional rounds to fill vacant seats.
Q4: Do these ranks include state or home-quota seats?
A: No. The published figures are for the All-India (AI) quota. Home state or state quota variations are not shown here.
Q5: Where can I find the IIIT Una fee structure and seat matrix?
A: The institute website (https://iiitu.ac.in/) and the official JoSAA/CSAB portals are the best places to check for fee schedules and detailed seat matrices.
Q6: If my rank is worse than the Round 1 closing rank but better than the last-round closing rank, do I have a chance?
A: Yes. That situation means the seat was eventually filled by candidates with ranks down to the last-round rank — so you may have had a chance in later rounds depending on withdrawals and category-specific movement.
Q7: Why are PWD and ST last-round ranks so high for some branches?
A: High last-round ranks usually mean few initial applicants accepted seats in early rounds. Counselling then filled remaining seats from a much larger rank range.
Q8: Should I wait for CSAB if I miss a JoSAA seat at IIIT Una?
A: Waiting for CSAB can make sense if IIIT Una is a priority and last-round ranks show deep vacancy filling. But balance that choice with the risk of losing an already confirmed seat elsewhere.
