NIT Jaipur Cutoff 2026 (Expected): Category-Wise JEE Main Cutoff Predictions

Malaviya National Institute of Technology (MNIT) Jaipur is one of the top National Institutes of Technology in India and the JEE Main cutoff is extremely competitive across all categories and branches. Given the official NIT Jaipur cutoff 2025 published on JoSAA, we have predicted 2026 cutoff ranks across General, OBC, SC, ST, EWS, and PWD under AI (All India) and HS (Home State) quotas.

The cutoff ranks mentioned below are most likely cutoff ranks based on 2025 data. JoSAA will announce official cutoff ranks for 2026 after the JEE Main 2026 counseling rounds.

NIT Jaipur Cutoff 2026 Overview

Particulars	Details
Institute	Malaviya National Institute of Technology, Jaipur (MNIT Jaipur)
Courses	B.Tech. (9 specialisations) + B.Arch.

Why Cutoff May Change in 2026

1. More JEE Main aspirants create tougher competition for top branches like CSE and AI & Data Engineering.
2. Changes in NTA scoring will impact cutoff ranks.
3. Changes in MNIT Jaipur seat Matrix will impact cutoff ranks.
4. Trends in branch popularity will impact cutoff ranks. AI & Data Engineering branch popularity is on the rise.
5. Home State (Rajasthan) demand — As more and more Rajasthani students join the competition, HS quota cutoffs may strengthen.

According to 2025 statistics, cutoffs for the CSE branch will likely rise by 3-7% for the 2026 admissions. AI and Data Engineering may follow a similar trend. Relaxations for core branches such as Civil, Mechanical, and Metallurgy may be minimal or non-existent.

Branch-Wise Trend Analysis

Branch	Demand Trend	Expected 2026 Direction
CSE	Very High	Cutoff likely to tighten
AI & Data Engineering	Rising Fast	Cutoff likely to tighten
ECE	⬆ High	Stable to slight tightening
Electrical Engineering	➡ Moderate	Stable
Mechanical Engineering	➡ Moderate	Stable to slight relaxation
Chemical Engineering	⬇ Lower	Stable to slight relaxation
Civil Engineering	⬇ Lower	Stable to slight relaxation
Metallurgical & Materials	⬇ Lowest Demand	May relax slightly

How to Use This Cutoff Data

1. After the results come out, first check your JEE Main 2026 rank.
2. Later, check your category (General / OBC / SC / ST / EWS / PWD) and decide on your quota (AI or HS).
3. Now compare your rank with the expected cutoff for your branch of choice.
4. Start making a preference list — make sure to include branches with cutoffs above your rank and some options that may be a stretch for you.
5. Once JoSAA counselling opens, register and fill your preferences.
6. Never skip counselling rounds — during a round, the seats close and some branches that were not available during Round 1 get opened in subsequent rounds.

Tips: The Home State (HS) quota is only for the students who are residents of Rajasthan. For Rajasthani students, the HS quota cutoff for MNIT Jaipur is generally slightly more favorable than the AI quota. Make sure to consider this when you fill your preferences.
