SRMJEEE 2026 Phase 3 Round 1 expected closing ranks for SRM Kattankulathur range from approximately 4,000 for CSE to 62,000 for Civil Engineering, based on 2025 counselling trends.
SRM Kattankulathur is the flagship campus of SRM Institute of Science and Technology and records the highest demand across all SRMJEEE counselling phases. Phase 3 Round 1 — expected in July 2026 — is the last major round before a spot round, offering seats surrendered or left unfilled after Phase 2. Students who missed an allotment in earlier phases, or who want to upgrade their branch, can participate in Phase 3. Knowing branch-wise expected closing ranks helps you set realistic preferences before the choice-filling window opens.
- Phase 3 Round 1 offers only seats surrendered after Phase 1 and Phase 2; high-demand branches like CSE may have very limited availability.
- Expected CSE closing rank at SRM Kattankulathur in Phase 3 Round 1: approximately 4,000 (based on 2025 data).
- CSE specializations in AI and ML, Data Science, and Cyber Security see expected closing ranks between 5,000 and 7,500.
- Civil and Chemical Engineering remain accessible for students with ranks up to 55,000–62,000 in Phase 3.
- All rank figures in this article are expected estimates based on 2025 trends; official 2026 closing ranks will be released on the SRM portal post-allotment.
SRMJEEE 2026 Phase 3 Round 1 Overview
SRMJEEE 2026 seat allocation for SRM Kattankulathur follows a multi-phase counselling structure. By Phase 3 Round 1, most high-demand seats in core CSE and IT are already filled. This round caters to two groups: students who did not receive an allotment in Phases 1 or 2, and students who want to upgrade their branch if a preferred seat becomes available. The Phase 3 seat matrix is built entirely from surrendered and unfilled seats after Phase 2.

Branch-Wise Expected Cutoff Ranks for SRM Kattankulathur
The table below shows expected opening and closing ranks for Phase 3 Round 1 at SRM Kattankulathur, based on 2025 counselling data. A lower (smaller number) closing rank indicates a more competitive branch; a higher closing rank means more students can secure admission in that branch.
| Branch | Expected Opening Rank | Expected Closing Rank |
|---|---|---|
| Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) | 1 | ~4,000 |
| Information Technology (IT) | 1 | ~7,500 |
| Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) | 1 | ~13,000 |
| Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) | 1 | ~22,000 |
| Mechanical Engineering | 1 | ~35,000 |
| Biomedical Engineering | 1 | ~42,000 |
| Chemical Engineering | 1 | ~55,000 |
| Civil Engineering | 1 | ~62,000 |
All figures are expected estimates based on 2025 Phase 3 Round 1 closing ranks. The 2026 actual cutoffs will be published after the allotment result is declared on the official portal.
CSE Specialization Cutoff Ranks at SRM Kattankulathur
SRM Kattankulathur offers multiple CSE specializations that have seen growing demand since 2023. Students with ranks beyond 4,000 who cannot secure core CSE should strongly consider these programmes — placement outcomes and curriculum depth are comparable to the core CSE programme.
| CSE Specialization | Expected Closing Rank — Phase 3 Round 1 |
|---|---|
| CSE (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning) | ~5,000 |
| CSE (Data Science) | ~5,500 |
| CSE (Cyber Security) | ~6,000 |
| CSE (Internet of Things) | ~7,000 |
| CSE (Cloud Computing) | ~7,500 |
These figures are based on 2025 Phase 3 trends and may shift slightly in 2026 depending on how many seats remain after Phase 2.
Previous Year Closing Rank Trends — Phase 3 Round 1
Comparing 2024 and 2025 Phase 3 Round 1 closing ranks shows a consistent 5–8% tightening each year at SRM Kattankulathur. This trend is driven by growing SRMJEEE applicant numbers and increased preference for the main campus over other SRM campuses.
| Branch | 2024 Closing Rank | 2025 Closing Rank | 2026 Expected Closing Rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| CSE | ~3,500 | ~3,800 | ~4,000 |
| IT | ~6,800 | ~7,200 | ~7,500 |
| ECE | ~11,500 | ~12,500 | ~13,000 |
| EEE | ~19,000 | ~21,000 | ~22,000 |
| Mechanical Engineering | ~30,000 | ~33,000 | ~35,000 |
| Civil Engineering | ~55,000 | ~59,000 | ~62,000 |
Use the 2024–2025 trend to estimate your probability of securing a specific branch in Phase 3 Round 1. Students should plan for the possibility that 2026 cutoffs may be 3–5% tighter than 2025.
Factors Affecting SRMJEEE 2026 Phase 3 Cutoff
Several variables determine how tight Phase 3 Round 1 closing ranks become at SRM Kattankulathur. Understanding these helps you decide whether to wait for Phase 3 or accept a Phase 2 allotment in a less-preferred branch.
- Remaining seats after Phase 2: Fewer Phase 3 seats in popular branches mean more competitive (lower number) closing ranks.
- Total SRMJEEE 2026 applicant pool: A larger applicant base pushes closing ranks lower (numerically tighter) across all branches.
- Seat surrender rate after Phase 2: Students opting out after Phase 2 free up seats, creating more availability in Phase 3 for certain branches.
- Branch-wise demand shifts: Growing interest in AI and ML and Cyber Security specializations tightens their cutoffs each year relative to Mechanical or Civil Engineering.
- Merit scholarship eligibility: SRM links fee concessions to rank bands, which influences student choice and can shift demand for borderline rank holders in Phase 3.
SRMJEEE 2026 SRM Kattankulathur Cutoff FAQs
Ques. What is the expected CSE closing rank at SRM Kattankulathur for SRMJEEE 2026 Phase 3 Round 1?
Ans. Based on 2025 Phase 3 Round 1 data, the expected CSE closing rank at SRM Kattankulathur is approximately 4,000. This is an estimate; the official 2026 figure will be published after allotment results are declared on the SRM portal.
Ques. Does Phase 3 at SRM Kattankulathur have more seats than Phase 1?
Ans. No. Phase 3 has fewer total seats as most are filled in earlier phases. It only covers surrendered or unfilled seats from Phase 2. Students should not rely on Phase 3 as a primary strategy for high-demand branches like CSE.
Ques. My SRMJEEE 2026 rank is 10,000. What branches can I target at SRM Kattankulathur in Phase 3?
Ans. With a rank of 10,000, you can target ECE (expected closing rank ~13,000), EEE (~22,000), Mechanical, Biomedical, Chemical, and Civil Engineering at SRM Kattankulathur in Phase 3 Round 1 based on expected 2026 trends.
Ques. Are Phase 3 cutoffs at SRM Kattankulathur tighter than Phase 1 cutoffs?
Ans. For high-demand branches like CSE, Phase 3 closing ranks are generally tighter because fewer seats remain. For less-popular branches like Civil or Chemical Engineering, Phase 3 closing ranks may be similar to or higher than Phase 1 since some seats go unfilled in early phases.
Ques. Which CSE specialization has the most relaxed cutoff at SRM Kattankulathur in Phase 3?
Ans. CSE (Cloud Computing) typically has the most relaxed cutoff among CSE specializations, with an expected closing rank of approximately 7,500 in Phase 3 Round 1. CSE (AI and ML) is the most competitive specialization with an expected closing rank around 5,000.
Ques. Where can I check the official SRMJEEE 2026 Phase 3 Round 1 seat allotment result?
Ans. You can check the official Phase 3 Round 1 seat allotment result at srmist.edu.in/srmjeee/ by logging in with your application number and password. Results are typically published within 2–3 days of the choice-filling window closing.
