Category-Wise and Round-Wise Closing Rank Trends Across Government and University Colleges
Because HSTES allotment is based entirely on JEE Main CRL rank, the 'cutoff' here is the JEE Main rank range that historically secures a seat in a given institute-branch-category combination — not a separate HSTES-specific score. These ranks fluctuate yearly based on total JEE Main applicants, seat-matrix changes, and category-wise demand.
JC Bose YMCA — CSE (General)
Rank ~38,000-70,000
Round 1 to Round 2 range, 2025 data
DCRUST Murthal — CSE (General)
Rank ~40,000-80,000
Round 1 to Round 2 range, 2025 data
SC/BC Categories
Substantially Higher
Often 2-5x the General closing rank number
RoHC (Outside Haryana)
Rank ~70,000-100,000
For top CSE seats, 2025 indicative
| Institute — Branch | General (Home State) | SC | BC-A/BC-B | RoHC/All India |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| JC Bose YMCA Faridabad — CSE/ECE | ~38,000 - 70,000 | ~1,20,000 - 2,80,000+ | ~55,000 - 84,000 | ~52,000 - 74,000 |
| DCRUST Murthal — CSE | ~40,000 - 80,000 | ~2,20,000+ | ~60,000 - 95,000 | ~95,000 - 1,02,000 |
| University Institutes — ECE/IT | ~60,000 - 1,10,000 | Higher than CSE equivalents | Moderately higher than General | Comparable to General+margin |
| State Institutes (SIET Network) — Civil/Mechanical | ~1,50,000 and beyond | Often open-ended / all applicants eligible | Open / high accessibility | Open in most rounds |
These figures are indicative, aggregated from recent-cycle patterns reported by third-party trackers rather than a single official static table, and should be cross-verified against the official HSTES portal's own published round-wise cutoff data before being used for final decision-making.
Haryana's SC and BC category closing ranks are frequently several multiples higher (numerically) than the General category rank for the same seat, because these reserved categories draw from a comparatively smaller absolute pool of high-JEE-Main-rank candidates within that category, allowing candidates with considerably higher (weaker) all-India ranks to still secure competitive branches through their category quota.
Closing ranks typically loosen (the number increases) from Round 1 to Round 2 as higher-rank candidates who received better offers elsewhere vacate seats, and loosen further into the institute-level spot round, which often admits candidates well beyond the Round 2 closing rank for comparatively less contested branches and institutes.
It's worth noting that Lateral Entry (LEET/OCET-based direct 2nd-year entry) cutoffs are calculated on an entirely separate merit list specific to diploma-holders and are not comparable in scale to the JEE Main-based first-year cutoffs above — a Lateral Entry closing rank of '40' or '88' reflects position within that much smaller diploma-holder applicant pool, not a JEE Main rank.
Students who are also tracking JoSAA (JEE Main-based national counselling for NITs/IIITs/GFTIs) will notice that HSTES closing ranks for top branches at JC Bose YMCA or DCRUST are generally in a similar or slightly more accessible range compared to lower-tier NITs for the same branch, giving useful context for how HSTES institutes compare nationally.
Several Haryana institutes have expanded CSE-track intake in recent years to meet demand, which can cause closing ranks to loosen somewhat compared to earlier cycles even as raw applicant numbers grow — a reminder that cutoff trends should be read in the context of that year's specific seat matrix, not assumed static.
