What is TJEE 2026 NIT Agartala Cutoff?
The TJEE NIT Agartala cutoff is the last rank at which a seat in a specific branch is allotted to a student in a given category during TBJEE counselling. It is published after each round of seat allotment as part of the TJEE 2026 merit list process.
NIT Agartala participates in TJEE counselling for its state-quota seats — approximately 15% of the total intake — reserved exclusively for students with Tripura domicile. The cutoff rank is determined by the number of applicants, available seats per branch and category-wise reservation norms under OBC, SC, ST and EWS policies.
- The cutoff refers to the closing rank — the highest (weakest) rank at which a seat was filled in a given counselling round.
- Separate cutoffs are published for each branch and each category.
- Students whose TJEE rank is equal to or better than the closing rank are eligible for that branch and category combination.

Category-Wise Cutoff Analysis for TJEE 2026 NIT Agartala
Category-wise seat reservation significantly shapes the TJEE 2026 NIT Agartala cutoffs. The table below breaks down how closing ranks vary across reservation categories for the most competitive branch — CSE:
| Category | Reservation | CSE Expected Closing Rank 2026 | Relaxation vs General |
|---|---|---|---|
| General (UR) | ~40.5% | 80–120 | — |
| OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) | 27% | 220–260 | ~2x relaxed |
| SC | 15% | 400–450 | ~4x relaxed |
| ST | 7.5% | 80–100 | Comparable to General |
| EWS | 10% | 160–200 | ~1.5–2x relaxed |
A critical insight for TJEE 2026 is that ST category closing ranks at NIT Agartala are often comparable to General category ranks. Tripura has a proportionally large Scheduled Tribe population, which increases competition within the ST reservation pool itself. Students in the OBC and SC categories can expect a relaxation of roughly 2–4 times the General category closing rank across all branches.
Factors Affecting TJEE 2026 NIT Agartala Cutoff
The TJEE 2026 NIT Agartala cutoff may shift compared to 2025 based on these key variables:
- Total TJEE 2026 applicants: Higher participation raises competition and typically tightens the closing rank across all branches.
- Difficulty level of TJEE 2026 paper: A harder paper compresses the score distribution and can ease the rank requirement for a given raw score.
- Seat intake at NIT Agartala: Any AICTE-approved increase in branch intake directly relaxes the closing rank for that branch.
- Number of counselling rounds: Cutoffs relax progressively with each round; the final round typically has the most relaxed closing rank.
- Branch popularity trends: CSE, IT and ECE consistently attract the highest demand and carry tighter cutoffs year after year; Chemical Engineering and Production Engineering attract fewer applicants.
TJEE 2026 NIT Agartala Cutoff FAQs
Ques. What is the expected TJEE 2026 closing rank for CSE at NIT Agartala in the General category?
Ans. Based on 2025 trends, the expected TJEE 2026 NIT Agartala closing rank for CSE in the General category is approximately 80–120. Official cutoffs will be published on tbjee.tripura.gov.in after counselling rounds are completed.
Ques. When will the official TJEE 2026 NIT Agartala cutoff be released?
Ans. The official TJEE 2026 NIT Agartala cutoff will be released after each counselling round by TBJEE. The result and merit list are expected by mid-July 2026 on the official TBJEE portal at tbjee.tripura.gov.in.
Ques. Which NIT Agartala branch has the most relaxed TJEE closing rank?
Ans. Production Engineering typically has the most relaxed closing rank at NIT Agartala through TJEE. Based on 2025 data, the General category closing rank was approximately 1,282. Chemical Engineering is the second least competitive branch with a General closing rank of around 1,052.
Ques. Can OBC students get CSE at NIT Agartala through TJEE 2026?
Ans. Yes. OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) students can expect the CSE closing rank at NIT Agartala through TJEE 2026 to be approximately 220–260 based on 2025 trends — roughly 2 times more relaxed than the General category closing rank of 80–120.
Ques. Is the TJEE NIT Agartala cutoff the same as the JEE Main cutoff for NIT Agartala?
Ans. No. NIT Agartala fills seats through two separate routes: JoSAA counselling uses JEE Main ranks for All India quota seats and TBJEE counselling uses TJEE ranks for state-quota seats reserved for Tripura domicile students. The two cutoffs are entirely separate and not comparable.
Ques. Why is the ST category cutoff at NIT Agartala often as competitive as the General category?
Ans. Tripura has a large Scheduled Tribe population, meaning more students compete for a relatively small pool of ST-reserved seats at NIT Agartala. This drives ST closing ranks to levels comparable to General category ranks — unlike most other NITs where ST cutoffs are far more relaxed.
