How to Use This Data
Compare 3-5 year trends
A single year's cutoff can be misleading. Look at trends across multiple years to estimate your realistic chances.
Check category-specific data
Open, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS, and PwD cutoffs vary significantly. Always check your specific category.
Don't treat cutoffs as guarantees
Cutoffs shift based on exam difficulty, number of candidates, and seat changes. Use them as planning ranges.
Don't ignore round-wise movement
Later rounds often have lower cutoffs. If you're borderline, keep your options open through all rounds.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I find official JoSAA cutoff data?
Official cutoff data is published on josaa.nic.in after each counselling round. JEEVisionary compiles and organizes this data for easy comparison across years and categories.
How do cutoffs change across JoSAA rounds?
Cutoffs generally decrease (ranks go higher numerically) from Round 1 to later rounds as students withdraw or freeze seats. However, popular branches at top institutes may see little movement.
Should I use cutoff data from previous years for planning?
Yes, but treat them as planning ranges, not guarantees. Look at 3-5 year trends rather than a single year. Factor in seat changes, exam difficulty variation, and category-specific movement.
