Category-Wise, Quota-Wise, and Round-Wise Closing Rank Trends at PEC, UIET, CCET & SSBUICET
Because admission runs purely on JEE Main rank, 'cutoff' here means the JEE Main closing rank range that historically secures a seat in a given institute-branch-category-quota combination.
PEC — CSE (Other State)
Rank ~11,500 - 20,000
2025 pattern, General category
PEC — CSE (AI/Data Science)
Rank ~20,000 - 24,500
2025 pattern, General category
CCET — CSE (Home State)
Rank ~48,000 - 1,90,000+
Varies sharply by round
PEC — EWS/SC/ST (Other State)
Rank ~1,700 - 3,100
Much tighter reserved-category ranks
| Category — Quota | Branch | Indicative Closing Rank |
|---|---|---|
| General — Home State | CSE | ~18,900 - 19,700 |
| General — Other State | CSE | ~11,600 - 15,400 |
| EWS — Other State | CSE | ~2,000 |
| SC — Other State | CSE | ~3,100 |
| ST — Other State | CSE | ~1,700 |
| General — Other State | CSE (Artificial Intelligence) | ~20,000 |
| General — Other State | CSE (Data Science) | ~24,400 |
| Round | Branch — Quota | Indicative Closing Rank |
|---|---|---|
| Round 1 | CSE — Home State | ~48,000 - 88,000 |
| Round 2 | CSE — Home State | ~1,48,000 - 1,91,000 |
| Round 3 | CSE — Home State | ~92,000 - 1,06,000 |
| Special Round | CSE — Home State | ~95,000 - 1,49,000 |
These figures reflect recent-cycle (2025) third-party aggregated reporting and should be cross-verified against JAC Chandigarh's own officially published round-wise cutoff data, since exact figures shift annually based on applicant volume and seat-matrix changes.
Because PEC's reserved-category applicant pool (EWS, SC, ST) is considerably smaller than the General category pool, closing ranks for these categories can appear numerically much lower (i.e., more competitive-looking) even though a much wider range of actual candidates within that category secure admission — this reflects the smaller absolute number of reserved-category JEE Main candidates nationwide, not necessarily higher difficulty.
UIET's single-merit-pool structure (without a Chandigarh-specific quota split) means its cutoff reporting is sometimes less granular in third-party aggregator data compared to PEC and CCET; students specifically targeting UIET should check JAC Chandigarh's own official cutoff PDFs directly for the most reliable figures.
