IIT Madras Cutoff 2025: JEE Advanced Marks and Rank Required for IIT Madras

Dreaming of IIT Madras? Here’s Your Complete Cutoff Guide for 2025!

IIT Madras is one of India’s top engineering colleges regarding academic excellence, world-class facilities, and high placements. If you are looking to get into IIT Madras through JEE Advance 2025, you need to know what the cutoff trends are. In this article, I break down the expected JEE Advanced marks and rank you will need for each category and branch to get into IIT Madras.

 

Understanding JEE Advanced 2025 and Admission at IIT Madras

JEE Advanced is your pathway for admission into IIT Madras and other top IITs in India. JEE Advanced 2025 was held on May 18th and organized by IIT Kanpur. Admission to IIT Madras is only based on your rank in JEE Advanced.

IIT Madras only offers undergraduate programs like B.Tech, B.S., and Dual Degree (B.Tech + M.Tech), where the branch depends on your rank and category.

 

Factors Influencing IIT Madras Cutoff 2025

Several aspects can affect the IIT Madras cutoff every year: 

• Exam Difficulty Level: A more difficult exam may lower your cutoff scores. 
• Number of Applicants: Increased applicants leads to more competition and lower rankings!
• Seat Intake Consideration: Generally, branches within a limited number of seats may be more competitive and have higher closing ranks listed for applicants.
• Category Reservation Considerations: Each category (General, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS) closing ranks will differ.

General Category Cutoff Breakdown

• Lowest Rank – 10290
• Most Preferred Branch (B.Tech + M.Tech Aerospace Engineering) – 16
• B.Tech Computer Science Engineering – 171

To be in the top 500 ranks for General category students for high-demand courses, a score of 280+ marks on JEE Advanced 2025 should be the target mark.

 

OBC-NCL Category Cutoff Breakdown

IIT Madras is still a preferred destination for OBC-NCL candidates with respectable cutoffs for core branches. OBC-NCL candidates should be prepared for competitively high cutoffs for branches linked to the IT industry, as student interest is predicted to shift away from core branches and therefore leads to more competitive culture. Admission to core branches like Electrical and Mechanical however is still hard due to their strong academic values and placement results.

• Lowest Rank: 4374
• Top Branch (B.Tech CSE): Rank 87
• Second Most Preferred (B.Tech AI): Rank 165

In regards to ranking, a general score of 240+ marks is needed to adequately stay with the top 100 OBC-NCL ranks.
