Hi there,
The closing JEE Advanced rank in IIT Madras depends on the programme and category, like for the general category, it is around 171 for Computer Science and Engineering, 5639 for Civil Engineering, 4116 for Chemical Engineering, and 3211 for Aerospace Engineering. For the reserved category, the score goes lower. The score depends on the specific course, which you can also check on the official website of IIT Madras.
Hope it helps!!!
Hi Krishna!
First of all, hats off to you getting an MTech offer from IIT Madras, especially in Artificial Intelligence, is a big achievement, regardless of how you label yourself. Even if you think you're average, you clearly did something right your GATE score, interviews, or SOP must’ve stood out.Being from an IIT, you’ll now be among top faculty and peer groups, and this can really transform your career. AI is booming whether in academia, research, or industry, and IIT Madras has direct links with top recruiters, startups, and even global collaborations.
You can use this opportunity to focus on core concepts and coding ,do research projects under professors and apply for internships in companies and research labs.
You're not average if you’ve reached here. Keep going
Thank you!
Certainly
Admission to IIT Madras, like all Indian Institutes of Technology, is highly competitive and governed by strict eligibility criteria. To qualify, candidates must clear JEE Advanced and also meet specific academic standards. The official requirements state that applicants must either achieve a minimum of 75% marks in their Class 12 examinations (65% for SC, ST, or PwD categories), or rank within the top 20 percentile of their respective board for the relevant category.
With a score of 49%, you would not meet the general marks criterion. Your eligibility now depends on whether this score places you within the top 20 percentile of your board for your category. It is advisable to check your board’s percentile cutoffs for your specific year and category to confirm this.
If you are not eligible this year, you might consider preparing to retake JEE Main and Advanced in the next cycle, provided you meet age and attempt limits. Alternatively, you could explore admission to other reputable institutions such as IIITs, NITs (if your JEE Main score is competitive), state engineering colleges, or private universities with more flexible entry requirements.
Should you wish, I can assist in identifying colleges that align with your current academic profile and category. Please let me know if you would like more tailored guidance.
