Previous-year cutoff
JoSAA Previous Year Cutoff Guide
Use JoSAA previous-year cutoffs and 2025 vs 2024 movement signals without mixing rounds, quotas, categories, or gender pools.
Year-over-year movement
Use rank-lane evidence before list order
Previous-year cutoffs help only when the comparison row is the same institute, program, quota, category, gender lane, and round.
These examples use the current ChoiceFilling JoSAA cutoff and rank datasets. They are shortlist evidence, not an admission promise.
Practical checks
What to verify before acting
Movement can tighten or loosen
A branch may become harder or easier depending on demand, seats, and candidate behavior.
Compare the same row
Do not compare OPEN with OBC or HS with OS and call it a trend.
Use trends as evidence, not certainty
Final JoSAA cutoffs depend on current-year choice behavior.
Data-backed examples
