Closing rank — 5-year trend
JoSAA final-round closing ranks for OPEN · Gender-Neutral. Toggle branches to compare. Rising cutoffs are normal for newer branches; a sharp fall usually signals growing demand (e.g. CSE everywhere post-2020).
Closing rank by yearLower rank = more competitive
Y-axis inverted so rank 1 sits at the top. A line sloping upward means the closing rank is falling — the branch is becoming harder to get into.

Round-by-round: CSE in 2025
JoSAA runs up to 6 rounds of counselling. The closing rank climbs each round as students upgrade or withdraw. If you're banking on R1 data, you're under-estimating your chances.
| Round | Opening rank | Closing rank | Δ vs R1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| R1 | 5,317 | 18,868 | baseline |
| R2 | 5,317 | 18,868 | +0 ranks |
| R3 | 5,317 | 19,402 | +534 ranks |
| R4 | 5,317 | 19,402 | +534 ranks |
| R5 | 5,317 | 19,402 | +534 ranks |

How much does the closing rank drift between rounds at PEC Chandigarh?+
For CSE in 2025, Round 1 closed at rank 18,868 while the final round (R6) closed at 19,702. Students further from the cutoff still get in if they hold out through later rounds, so R1 data alone underestimates the real admit line.
Where does this cutoff data come from?+
Closing ranks shown here are from the official JoSAA Opening-Closing Rank (OR-CR) reports, consolidated across all rounds from 2022 through 2025. PEC Chandigarh has 4 years of data in our database. The predictor uses the final round of each year to avoid over-optimistic Round 1 projections.
