IIIT Allahabad Cuoff 2026: What Is the Opening and Closing Rank for IT and IT-BI (All Rounds)

IIIT Admission 2026: Securing a seat at the Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) Allahabad is no easy feat. The institute consistently attracts top JEE Main scorers, and the qualifying ranks from the previous years makes it clear just how competitive the process can be. In the previous year, the OPEN category gender-neutral can have an opening rank of around 2055 in Round 1 and can have a closing rank of 6094 by Round 6. Similarly, the specialised Information Technology-Business Informatics course at IIIT Allahabad can see Round 1 opening ranks around 1783, can close round 6150 in the final round.

The core IT programme remains the most sought-after course at IIIT Allahabad. For general category (OPEN) students, the gender-neutral seat opened at rank 2055 in Round 1 last year and closed at 6094 by the final round. This gap of nearly 4,000 ranks tells you something important: a significant number of seats do open up in later rounds as students who secured better colleges drop out of the process. So if your rank falls in the 5,000–6,000 range, waiting through all six rounds is very much worth it.

For female candidates in the OPEN category, the closing rank extends to 11,465, reflecting both the female-only seat pool and the relatively lower number of girl applicants in this rank range.
Reserved category students see tighter but still competitive ranges. OBC-NCL gender-neutral seats closed at rank 2531, while SC candidates could get in up to rank 1,738. EWS seats, though limited, closed at 941 for gender-neutral applicants.

IIIT Allahabad Information Technology - Business Informatics Admission Ranks

Last year, in the Business Informatics specialisation, the OPEN gender-neutral opening rank stayed locked at 1783 across all six rounds — meaning the top students who picked this branch never left. The closing rank for this programme eventually reaches 6150, making it slightly more accessible than core IT at the tail end of the general pool.

What stands out about IT-BI is its stability in reserved categories. ST gender-neutral seats saw zero movement across all rounds, with opening and closing ranks holding steady at 494 and 609 respectively. This suggests extremely limited seat availability in this category. EWS seats closed at 952, reflecting high demand even among economically weaker section applicants for this specialised degree.

IIIT Admission 2026 for Reserved Categories and Female Quotas

For SC female candidates in the IT programme, seats closed at rank 2,999 that barely moved from the Round 1 closing rank of 2,975. This near-zero movement signals very few vacancies in this seat pool, so candidates near this rank should fill their preferences carefully and not bank on late-round openings.
OBC-NCL female candidates have more room to work with. In core IT, this category closed at rank 5,444, while in IT-BI it went up to 5,695. The IT-BI EWS female category is an interesting case — with a single seat likely in play, the opening and closing rank were identical (1,938) by Round 6, showing it fills in one go.
