SRMJEEE 2026 Phase 3 CSE expected closing ranks range from approximately 12,000 at SRM Kattankulathur to over 1,20,000 at SRM Modinagar — Phase 3 exams concluded on July 5, 2026, and seat allotment is expected within 2–3 weeks.
SRM Institute of Science and Technology conducts SRMJEEE in three phases each year. Phase 3 — the final cycle — concluded on July 5, 2026, and students now await rank cards and seat allotment. Seats available in Phase 3 are those not filled in earlier rounds, so the cutoff landscape differs from Phase 1. This article compares expected Phase 3 CSE closing ranks across all six major SRM campuses for 2026 and covers CSE specialisation trends at SRM Kattankulathur.
- Phase 3 closing ranks are typically 10–15% more relaxed than Phase 1 as competitive pressure eases with each cycle.
- SRM Kattankulathur remains the most competitive campus — expected Phase 3 CSE closing rank is around 12,000–15,000.
- SRM Amaravati, Sonepat and Modinagar have far more relaxed closing ranks, accessible to students with ranks above 60,000.
- CSE specialisations (AI/ML, Data Science, Cyber Security) at SRM KTR close at higher rank numbers than core CSE, giving students ranked 15,000–30,000 more options.
- SRM does not publish official closing ranks — all figures here are expected estimates based on 2024–2025 trend analysis.

SRMJEEE Phase 3 Cutoff Overview
SRMJEEE Phase 3 2026 concluded on July 5, 2026. Students who appeared will receive rank cards shortly and seat allotment is expected within two to three weeks. SRM does not publish official closing rank tables — unlike centrally regulated exams, SRMJEEE counselling is conducted by the university directly. Closing ranks emerge from allotment data that is not released publicly.
This article derives expected closing ranks from observable signals: officially released Phase 1 and Phase 2 scholarship rank bands, year-on-year competitiveness trends, and total seat intake per campus and branch.

Campus-wise Expected CSE Closing Ranks — Phase 3 2026
The table below shows expected Phase 3 closing ranks for CSE (core) at each SRM campus for 2026, based on trend analysis. A lower rank number means the campus is more competitive. Students with ranks above the expected closing rank are unlikely to secure CSE at that campus in Phase 3.
| SRM Campus | Expected Phase 3 Opening Rank | Expected Phase 3 Closing Rank |
|---|---|---|
| SRM Kattankulathur (KTR), Chennai | ~500 | ~12,000–15,000 |
| SRM Ramapuram, Chennai | ~8,000 | ~28,000–32,000 |
| SRM Vadapalani, Chennai | ~12,000 | ~38,000–45,000 |
| SRM Amaravati, Andhra Pradesh | ~22,000 | ~65,000–75,000 |
| SRM NCR Sonepat, Haryana | ~40,000 | ~90,000–1,00,000 |
| SRM NCR Modinagar, Uttar Pradesh | ~60,000 | ~1,10,000–1,25,000 |
All figures are expected estimates based on 2024–2025 trend analysis. Actual 2026 closing ranks will be determined after Phase 3 seat allotment is complete.
Historical Cutoff Trends: 2024 and 2025
Since SRM does not release official closing rank tables, the figures below are trend-based estimates for 2024 and 2025 derived from scholarship rank bands, applicant volume data and allotment reports. They provide a directional view of how Phase 3 cutoffs have evolved at key campuses.
| Campus — Branch | Est. Closing Rank 2024 (Phase 3) | Est. Closing Rank 2025 (Phase 3) | Expected 2026 (Phase 3) |
|---|---|---|---|
| SRM KTR — CSE | ~10,000–12,000 | ~11,000–13,500 | ~12,000–15,000 |
| SRM Ramapuram — CSE | ~24,000–28,000 | ~26,000–30,000 | ~28,000–32,000 |
| SRM Vadapalani — CSE | ~32,000–38,000 | ~35,000–42,000 | ~38,000–45,000 |
| SRM Amaravati — CSE | ~55,000–65,000 | ~60,000–70,000 | ~65,000–75,000 |
The trend shows a year-on-year tightening of 5–10% at established campuses like KTR and Ramapuram. This is driven by rising applicant volumes and increasing student preference for SRM engineering programmes. Phase 3 closing ranks consistently stay 15–20% above Phase 1 rank numbers because fewer seats remain and the student pool is smaller.
CSE Specialisation Cutoff Comparison — SRM Kattankulathur
SRM Kattankulathur offers five CSE specialisations alongside core CSE. These programmes typically close at higher rank numbers (more relaxed) than core CSE because their seat intake is smaller and student preference for specialisations varies. The table below shows expected Phase 3 closing ranks per programme at SRM KTR for 2026.
| Programme | Expected Phase 3 Closing Rank — SRM KTR 2026 |
|---|---|
| B.Tech CSE (Core) | ~12,000–15,000 |
| B.Tech CSE with AI and Machine Learning | ~16,000–20,000 |
| B.Tech CSE with Data Science | ~20,000–25,000 |
| B.Tech CSE with Cyber Security | ~22,000–28,000 |
| B.Tech CSE with Cloud Computing | ~28,000–35,000 |
| B.Tech CSE with Internet of Things | ~30,000–38,000 |
Students with ranks in the 15,000–30,000 range who narrowly miss core CSE at SRM KTR will find CSE (AI/ML) and CSE (Data Science) strong alternatives — both programmes are industry-aligned and report comparable placement outcomes to core CSE at the same campus.
Factors Affecting SRMJEEE 2026 Phase 3 Cutoff
Several variables determine where Phase 3 closing ranks finally land. Understanding them helps students gauge their own chances before allotment.
- Seats remaining after Phase 2: Fewer leftover seats in high-demand branches mean a tighter Phase 3 closing rank for that course.
- Phase 3 applicant volume: A higher count of students in the July exam window pushes closing ranks upward across all campuses.
- Withdrawal rate from earlier phases: Students who accepted seats but did not pay fees release those seats back. A high withdrawal rate slightly eases Phase 3 seat availability.
- JEE Main direct admissions: SRM accepts valid JEE Main 2026 scores for direct B.Tech admission. Students joining this route reduce the seat pool for SRMJEEE rank holders in Phase 3.
- Campus preference shifts: Growing interest in Amaravati and Sonepat gradually tightens their cutoffs while easing pressure on KTR and Ramapuram.
- Seat matrix revisions: Additional seats mid-cycle push the closing rank higher — more seats filled means a higher rank number at the last allotted position.
SRMJEEE 2026 CSE Phase 3 Cutoff FAQs
Ques. What is the expected SRMJEEE 2026 Phase 3 CSE closing rank at SRM Kattankulathur?
Ans. Based on 2024–2025 trend analysis, the expected Phase 3 CSE closing rank at SRM Kattankulathur is approximately 12,000–15,000. Actual figures will be determined after Phase 3 seat allotment is published.
Ques. Does SRM officially publish SRMJEEE branch-wise closing ranks?
Ans. No. SRM Institute does not release official branch-wise closing rank tables. Unlike centrally regulated exams, SRMJEEE counselling is conducted internally and allotment data is not made public. Expected cutoff estimates are based on scholarship band data and trend analysis.
Ques. Is SRMJEEE Phase 3 cutoff easier to clear than Phase 1?
Ans. Generally yes. Phase 3 closing ranks are typically 10–15% higher in number (more relaxed) than Phase 1 because fewer seats remain and the student pool is smaller. This varies by campus and branch.
Ques. Which SRM campus has the most relaxed CSE Phase 3 cutoff?
Ans. SRM NCR Modinagar typically has the most relaxed CSE Phase 3 closing rank, expected around 1,10,000–1,25,000 for 2026. SRM NCR Sonepat and SRM Amaravati also have comparatively lenient closing ranks.
Ques. Can I get CSE at SRM KTR with an SRMJEEE rank of 18,000?
Ans. Based on expected trends, a rank of 18,000 falls within the Phase 3 closing range for CSE (AI/ML) at SRM KTR (~16,000–20,000) but likely exceeds the core CSE closing (~12,000–15,000). Core CSE at SRM Ramapuram is also a strong option at this rank.
Ques. When will SRMJEEE 2026 Phase 3 allotment results be declared?
Ans. SRMJEEE Phase 3 exams concluded on July 5, 2026. Rank cards and seat allotment results are typically released within two to three weeks of the exam. Students can track updates on the official portal at srmist.edu.in/srmjeee.
