Coaching professionals said that even though there was an equilibrium in chemistry papers, physics papers were conceptual in nature, while mathematics was tough for many candidates.
As per academic experts, there has not been any change in the overall cutoff as the levels of difficulty in the paper have changed. Many experts felt that the normalization procedure and the performance of candidates had a crucial role to play in deciding the final cutoff marks.
As compared to last year, the cut-off in Common Rank List is not expected to show much change; however, category-wise rankings might experience some variations.
IIT officials have also released the list of best performing candidates who ranked among the topmost in the Common Rank List. Top positions have been occupied by candidates from coaching centers like Kota, Hyderabad, Delhi, Chennai, and Pune.
A number of candidates considered themselves lucky to score well due to consistent performance, mock tests analysis, and concept clarity. Candidates also felt that NCERT fundamentals and proper revision were crucial while preparing for the examination.

The most popular streams include:
It is expected that there would be extremely high closing ranks in Computer Science Engineering programs at IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Madras, and IIT Kanpur.
Those candidates who fail to get admission into IIT can always consider admissions to NITs, IIITs, and other renowned engineering colleges based on JEE Mains rank and their own counselling procedure.
Career counsellors recommend that candidates should take interest rather than fame of the institution into account while choosing their branch. Newer courses such as Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Data Sciences, and Semiconductors Technology courses will increasingly attract candidates.
