The Indian Institute of Technology Patna (IIT Patna) holds a significant position within India's higher education system, primarily due to its recognition as an "Institute of National Importance" by the Government of India. Admission to the undergraduate B.Tech programs is primarily determined by performance in the JEE Advanced. Consequently, the institute's cutoff is expressed in terms of opening and closing ranks achieved in this highly competitive examination.
These cutoff ranks are not static and are subject to annual fluctuations, influenced by factors such as the difficulty level of the JEE Advanced exam, the total number of applicants, and the number of available seats within each engineering discipline. The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) plays a crucial role in managing the seat allocation process for IITs, including IIT Patna. Therefore, relying solely on historical data may not guarantee admission. Ultimately, securing a seat at IIT Patna requires thorough preparation, a keen understanding of the admission process, and a realistic assessment of one's performance in the relevant entrance exams.
JoSAA publishes the IIT Patna Cutoff Percentile, which provides aspiring students with a clear understanding of the required performance levels for admission. Notably, the cutoff ranks vary significantly across different categories, including General, OBC, SC, ST, and EWS, as well as among the various engineering branches offered by the institute. Typically, the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) program exhibits the highest cutoff ranks, indicating that students need exceptionally high scores to secure admission to this sought-after discipline. Other branches, such as Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Civil Engineering, have varying cutoff ranks, reflecting the relative demand for each specialisation.
Candidates require the IIT Patna cutoff for CSE of 2,985, making it one of the most competitive branches. For those considering EEE, the cutoff rank is 6,160, indicating a moderate level of competition. Candidates aiming for Mech need to achieve a rank of 9,876. Mech is relatively less competitive compared to CSE and EEE.
