    What this means for you

    If you aim for CSE, expect the steepest competition — closing ranks stayed around 28k in 2025. ECE options became more accessible in 2025, so they may be easier targets if your rank falls outside the CSE window.

    All projections assume you have a valid JEE Main rank and are participating through JoSAA counselling. Category reservations and round-wise choice filling will affect final closing ranks.
