Analysis of BTech Cut-off Trends
A detailed examination of the IIT Guwahati cut-offs for 2024 and 2025 reveals varied trends across BTech programs. Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) saw its closing rank increase from 623 in 2024 to 792 in 2025. This indicates a decrease in admission competitiveness for CSE during this period.
Conversely, Data Science and Artificial Intelligence experienced a slight increase in its closing rank, moving from 995 in 2024 to 1078 in 2025. Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) also recorded a change, with its closing rank moving from 1658 to 1829. Electronics and Electrical Engineering (EEE) saw a minor shift from 2217 to 2195.
Mathematics and Computing’s closing rank moved from 1021 in 2024 to 1276 in 2025. Mechanical Engineering showed a similar trend, with its closing rank increasing from 4523 to 4892. These rank increases suggest a slightly less competitive environment for these programs compared to the previous year.
Among the core engineering branches, Chemical Engineering’s closing rank shifted from 5363 in 2024 to 6053 in 2025. Civil Engineering saw its rank increase from 7670 to 9021. Energy Engineering’s closing rank moved from 5920 to 6610. Chemical Science and Technology recorded an increase from 6834 to 7958. Engineering Physics’ closing rank changed from 5686 to 7117.
BTech Biosciences and Bioengineering consistently held the highest closing ranks, reflecting lower demand compared to other engineering disciplines. Its closing rank increased from 9178 in 2024 to 10727 in 2025. These year-over-year changes provide insights into evolving student preferences and the competitive landscape for BTech admissions at IIT Guwahati.
