If your JEE Main rank is somewhere between 70,000 and 1,50,000 and you’re trying to figure out whether MAIT CSE is possible, or if MSIT IT is your best bet, or whether BPIT even makes sense at your rank — you’re in the right place.
This page gives you the actual IPU B.Tech cutoff data from 2025 GGSIPU counselling — round-wise, branch-wise, college-wise — so you can build a realistic college list before counselling starts rather than guessing your way through choice filling.
Quick Answer — Which College Can You Get at Your JEE Main Rank?
| JEE Main Rank (AIR) | Realistic IPU B.Tech Options (General, Delhi Quota) |
|---|---|
| Under 40,000 | USICT Dwarka CSE/IT/ECE (Dual Degree) |
| 40,000 – 75,000 | MAIT CSE (Shift I), USICT ECE |
| 75,000 – 1,00,000 | MAIT IT/ECE, MSIT CSE |
| 1,00,000 – 1,35,000 | MSIT IT/ECE, BVCOE CSE |
| 1,35,000 – 1,65,000 | BPIT CSE/IT, BVCOE IT |
| 1,65,000 – 2,30,000 | VIPS CSE, BPIT ECE, GTBIT CSE |
| Above 2,30,000 | ADGITM, GTBIT IT/ECE, later rounds at BPIT/VIPS |
Important note on Delhi vs Outside Delhi quota: If you are a Delhi resident, your cutoff is significantly more relaxed. A rank of 85,000 that doesn’t get you MAIT CSE as an outside-Delhi student might comfortably get you in if you have Delhi domicile. This distinction matters enormously and most students underestimate it during choice filling.
What is IPU CET Cutoff and How Is It Calculated?
IPU no longer conducts its own entrance exam for B.Tech admissions. Since 2022, admission to all GGSIPU-affiliated engineering colleges is based on your JEE Main All India Rank (AIR). The cutoff is simply the closing rank at which the last available seat gets filled in each counselling round.
Cutoffs change every year based on three factors: how many students registered for GGSIPU counselling, how competitive that year’s JEE Main paper was, and whether any colleges added or removed seats. That is why looking at round-wise data from 2025 gives you the most reliable estimate for 2026 — it reflects real allotment patterns, not just headline numbers.
IPU B.Tech CSE Cutoff 2025 — Round-wise Closing Ranks (Delhi Quota, General Category)
CSE is the most competitive branch across every IPU college. Round 1 ranks are the tightest — as students vacate seats to upgrade or join other universities, Round 2 and 3 cutoffs relax by roughly 20–30%.
| College | Round 1 Closing Rank | Round 2 Closing Rank | Round 3 Closing Rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| USICT Dwarka (Dual Degree CSE) | 38,638 | 43,969 | 51,798 |
| MAIT Rohini (Shift I) | 70,889 | 76,685 | 85,429 |
| MSIT Janakpuri (Shift I) | 96,135 | 1,07,944 | 1,17,485 |
| BVCOE Paschim Vihar | 1,32,350 | 1,45,948 | 1,59,959 |
| BPIT Rohini | 1,42,454 | 1,60,820 | 1,79,114 |
| VIPS Pitampura | 1,94,876 | 2,10,223 | 2,30,736 |
| GTBIT Rajouri Garden (Shift I) | 1,75,885 | 2,01,756 | 2,23,597 |
| ADGITM Shastri Park (Shift I) | 2,21,076 | 2,48,953 | 2,87,513 |
What this tells you practically: if your JEE Main rank is 90,000, MAIT CSE is out of reach in Round 1 but MSIT CSE is right in your zone. If your rank is 1,40,000, BPIT CSE is your realistic target — not MSIT. Many students waste choice slots on colleges that are far above their rank and then miss better options in the middle.

IPU B.Tech IT Cutoff 2025 — Round-wise Closing Ranks (Delhi Quota, General Category)
IT branch cutoffs run approximately 10–25% higher rank numbers than CSE at the same college — meaning IT is slightly easier to get into. If CSE is out of reach at your target college, IT is a credible alternative that feeds into similar careers and recruiters.
| College | Round 1 Closing Rank | Round 2 Closing Rank | Round 3 Closing Rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| USICT Dwarka (Dual Degree IT) | 48,858 | 53,991 | 61,607 |
| MAIT Rohini | 1,07,346 | 1,18,807 | 1,35,548 |
| MSIT Janakpuri (Shift I) | 1,18,049 | 1,30,968 | 1,49,164 |
| BVCOE Paschim Vihar | 1,51,132 | 1,67,082 | 1,88,921 |
| BPIT Rohini | 1,64,525 | 1,86,009 | 2,15,269 |
| GTBIT Rajouri Garden (Shift I) | 2,08,789 | 2,32,502 | 2,71,460 |
| ADGITM Shastri Park (Shift I) | 2,90,104 | 3,20,284 | 4,06,567 |
IPU B.Tech ECE Cutoff 2025 — Round-wise Closing Ranks (Delhi Quota, General Category)
ECE is the third most competitive branch and a strong backup for students in the 1,00,000–2,00,000 rank range. For students interested in embedded systems, VLSI, or telecom careers, ECE at MAIT or MSIT is a genuine career path — not just a fallback.
| College | Round 1 Closing Rank | Round 2 Closing Rank | Round 3 Closing Rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| USICT Dwarka (Dual Degree ECE) | 62,058 | 62,662 | 73,324 |
| MAIT Rohini | 1,13,602 | 1,26,754 | 1,38,006 |
| MSIT Janakpuri (Shift I) | 1,59,917 | 1,74,632 | 1,99,561 |
| BVCOE Paschim Vihar | 1,99,005 | 2,14,297 | 2,57,480 |
| BPIT Rohini | 2,15,304 | 2,32,328 | 2,86,487 |
| GTBIT Rajouri Garden | 2,58,223 | 2,80,353 | 3,58,743 |
| ADGITM Shastri Park (Shift I) | 3,04,071 | 3,35,103 | 4,31,522 |

What if Your Rank Is Above the Cutoff? — Direct Admission Options
If your rank falls above the closing rank for your target college and branch — meaning the cutoff is tighter than your rank — counselling alone may not get you there. Each GGSIPU-affiliated private college reserves 10% of its seats for management quota direct admission, which is merit-based and processed separately from counselling.
For MAIT, the management quota threshold for CSE is approximately 90%+ PCM in Class 12. For MSIT it’s around 85%. These aren’t guaranteed numbers — they vary by year and seat availability — but they give you a realistic benchmark. If your 12th marks are strong even if your JEE rank isn’t, the direct admission route is worth exploring.

Counselling Strategy — How to Use Cutoff Data for Choice Filling
The biggest mistake students make during GGSIPU counselling is filling choices based on college reputation rather than rank data. Here is a practical framework based on how seats actually get allotted:
Step 1 — Identify your realistic zone. Find all colleges where your rank falls between the Round 1 and Round 3 closing ranks. These are your most likely allotments depending on which round the seat falls free.
Step 2 — Add two aspirational choices first. Colleges where your rank is just above the Round 1 cutoff — meaning if even a few students vacate in Round 2, you get in. MAIT CSE Round 1 closed at 70,889 in 2025; if your rank is 73,000, it’s not unreasonable to list it.
Step 3 — Use Float wisely, don’t Freeze too early. If you get BPIT CSE in Round 1 but your real target is MSIT CSE, keeping Float means you’ll automatically upgrade if a seat opens in Round 2. Freezing locks your seat and closes that possibility.
Step 4 — Never skip safe backups. Students with ranks around 1,50,000 often skip VIPS because they only want MSIT or BVCOE — then end up with nothing in the final round because they didn’t list enough options below their rank.
Delhi Quota vs Outside Delhi — Why It Matters More Than Most Students Realise
GGSIPU reserves approximately 85% of seats for Delhi Home State candidates and 15% for outside Delhi. The practical effect is significant — Delhi quota closing ranks are consistently 40–60% more relaxed than outside Delhi.
In real terms: a JEE Main rank of 1,00,000 might not get you MSIT CSE as an outside-Delhi student but comfortably qualifies for Delhi quota. If you have Delhi domicile, list colleges based on Delhi quota cutoffs, not the general national figures you often see on aggregator sites which mix both quotas.
Expected IPU Cutoff Trends for 2026
Based on 2021–2025 patterns, here is what to expect for the 2026 counselling season:
- CSE and AI/ML branches will tighten further as student preference continues shifting toward CS-oriented programs
- IT branch cutoffs remain relatively stable — good option for students 20,000–30,000 ranks below the CSE threshold at the same college
- ECE and EEE cutoffs may relax slightly as fewer students prefer core branches, which means better allotment chances in later rounds
- Round 3 and Spot Round cutoffs typically relax 25–35% from Round 1 — students who missed Round 1 allotments should not withdraw prematurely
FAQs — IPU CET B.Tech Cutoff 2026
My JEE Main rank is 80,000. Can I get MAIT CSE in 2026?
Based on 2025 data where MAIT CSE closed at 70,889 in Round 1 and 85,429 in Round 3, a rank of 80,000 puts you in a reasonable zone for Round 2 or Round 3 allotment — if you have Delhi domicile. Without Delhi domicile, the outside-Delhi cutoff is considerably tighter and 80,000 may not be sufficient. List MAIT CSE in your choices but also include MSIT CSE and MAIT IT as realistic backups.
What is the difference between MAIT Shift I and Shift II cutoffs?
Shift II cutoffs at MAIT are generally 20–30% more relaxed than Shift I. The degree and syllabus are identical — recruiters do not differentiate between shifts during campus placements. If your rank doesn’t get you Shift I, Shift II is a genuinely viable option at the same college rather than dropping to a lower-tier institution.
BPIT CSE closed at 1,79,000 in Round 3 in 2025. Will 2026 be similar?
Expect a variation of ±10–15% from 2025 figures. If anything, CSE cutoffs tend to tighten slightly year-on-year as demand increases. Planning your strategy around the Round 3 2025 cutoff as a baseline is reasonable, but give yourself a buffer of 10,000–15,000 ranks when deciding which colleges to list.
Is there management quota in MAIT and MSIT for B.Tech?
Yes — both MAIT and MSIT reserve 10% of seats for management quota under the Delhi Professional Colleges Act 2007. Selection is merit-based using Class 12 PCM marks, not JEE rank. For MAIT CSE, the approximate threshold is 90%+ PCM; for MSIT it is around 85%. See our detailed guides: Direct Admission in MAIT | Direct Admission in MSIT.
Which IPU college can I get with a rank of 1,50,000?
At 1,50,000 with Delhi domicile, your realistic options include BVCOE IT/ECE, BPIT CSE (Round 2 or 3), and VIPS CSE comfortably. Without Delhi domicile, the options narrow significantly — VIPS becomes more relevant as a target. Also consider Shift II options at MAIT and MSIT, where cutoffs are considerably more relaxed.
How many counselling rounds does GGSIPU conduct for B.Tech?
GGSIPU typically conducts 3 regular counselling rounds followed by a Spot Round for remaining vacant seats. Most top college seats — especially MAIT and MSIT CSE — fill in Rounds 1 or 2. Round 3 and Spot Rounds are where mid-tier colleges and less popular branches become available. Always participate through the final round even if your initial allotment isn’t ideal.
Conclusion
The cutoff data tells you one essential thing: stop guessing and start planning. With a rank of 70,000–85,000, MAIT CSE is your real target — not a dream. With 1,00,000–1,20,000, MSIT CSE is where your energy should go. With 1,40,000–1,80,000, BPIT CSE and BVCOE IT deserve to be at the top of your list — not MAIT, which is simply out of range at that rank.
Build your choices around data, not around what people in your colony say about college reputations. The counselling system rewards students who plan their preference list with actual numbers rather than vague impressions of which college sounds better.
If your rank is above the cutoff and counselling isn’t a realistic path to your preferred college, explore the direct admission route through management quota — it is legal, merit-based, and available at every IPU-affiliated private college.
