GKCIET Malda JEE Main Expected Cutoff 2026 – Branch Wise Analysis & Trends

JEE Main 2026 cutoffs for Ghani Khan Choudhury Institute of Engineering and Technology (GKCIET), Malda are expected to remain similar to 2025, with only minor changes depending on exam difficulty and competition levels.

• Popular branches like B.Tech in Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning are likely to close between ranks 45,000 - 65,000. This is because courses like AI/ML and even some core branches are becoming more popular each year, which can push the cutoffs higher.
• Less competitive branches (Food Technology, Civil & Environmental Engineering, etc.) may go up to 1,00,000 - 1,10,000+.

If candidates are aiming for GKCIET, it’s better to target a rank slightly better than the expected closing ranks to stay on the safer side.

GKCIET JEE Main last year Cutoff Analysis:-
Home State Quote:-

• B.Tech Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning remains the most competitive branch. The closing rank improved slightly from 148,356 (2024) to 147,447 (2025), showing steady demand among students.
• B.Tech Mechanical Engineering saw a noticeable drop in cutoff from 356,960 (2024) to 288,733 (2025). This means competition increased and more students preferred this branch in 2025.
• B.Tech Electrical Engineering stayed almost stable, with closing ranks around 2.9 lakh in both years. This shows consistent but moderate demand.
• B.Tech Civil & Enviromental Engineering became less competitive, as the cutoff increased from 372,966 (2024) to 450,734 (2025). This indicates lower preference among students.
• B.Tech Food Technology had the highest closing ranks in both years (5.2 lakh+), making it the easiest branch to get into. The cutoff remained almost the same, showing stable but low demand.

Other State Quota:-

• AI & Machine Learning remains the most competitive branch, but the cutoff increased from 54,826 (2024) to 60,012 (2025), which means slightly lower competition compared to last year.
• Electrical Engineering saw improvement, with cutoff increasing from 82,676 (2024) to 74,998 (2025). This indicates higher demand and increased competition.
• Mechanical Engineering became less competitive, as the cutoff increased from 83,761 to 96,006, showing reduced preference among students.
• Civil & Environmental Engineering also saw a rise in cutoff from 96,049 to 1,02,226, indicating lower demand.
• Food Technology remained the least competitive branch, with cutoff slightly increasing from 1,05,533 to 1,06,525, showing consistently low demand.
