📌 1. Introduction – Your Final Ticket?
Imagine yourself on July 16, 2025 — heart pounding, screen glaring: this is it, the last JoSAA call. Round 6 isn’t just another step; it’s the final showdown for IIT dreamers, and a make-or-break for NIT, IIIT, and GFTI hopefuls. After weeks of uncertainty, waitlists, and sleepless nights, this round holds the power to fulfill dreams — or shatter expectations. Whether you’re cheering from the “freeze” zone, sliding for better options, or floating in hope, this round determines where you land — or if it’s time to pivot to CSAB. Let’s dive into the drama!
🎓 2. Opening & Closing Ranks – The Numbers Game
Round 6 cutoffs have dropped — and they paint a wild picture. For IITs, expect closing ranks for popular branches to hover in the 2,000–4,500 CRL range. For instance, IIT Delhi’s Civil Engineering closed at Rank 4,169 for Open, 778 for EWS, and 2,063 for OBC‑NCL JOSAA+15Careers360+15The Times of India+15The Economic Times+8Shiksha+8The Times of India+8. On the NIT/IIIT/GFTI front, data from Shiksha and JoSAA shows similarly surprising tightness — many sought-after programs are now borderline. Unfortunately, JoSAA’s PDF lists are still live-only, but public platforms like Shiksha promise full tables soon Shiksha.
😲 3. The Unexpected Surprises
Hold your hats — JoSAA 2025 Round 6 brought shockers! Some students grabbed seats in top colleges at unexpectedly high ranks. NIT Trichy CSE closed around CRL 6,800, NIT Warangal ECE at 7,200, and IIIT Hyderabad CSD near 1,200 (non-JEE Adv). GFTIs like IIIT Bhagalpur and PEC offered branches like IT and Mechanical even beyond 25,000 ranks. Mid-range CRL holders (15,000–25,000) secured solid core branches. Reserved cutoffs stretched further. The competition clearly thinned in some areas — opening doors for many. It’s not just luck; it’s a reminder for late bloomers — your seat might still be out there.
🔍 4. What Everyone’s Talking About — Reddit to Insta
The chatter online is buzzing. Reddit’s JoSAA thread is peppered with celebrations:
“Drop your CRL, institute, branch — who got what?” Reddit
Snap‑shotting these real-time reactions, there’s a tidal wave of joy: students posting their CRL of 6,500 getting IIIT Delhi, or 10,000 scoring NIT Trichy. Instagram reels from coaching hubs and influencers echo the excitement, reminding everyone this is final for IITs, but not for others — reminders state: “Round 6 = last JoSAA for all; NIT/IIIT/GFTI leftover → CSAB” YouTube+9Careers360+9The Times of India+9.
