The National Institute of Technology Patna (NIT Patna) has emerged as a premier engineering institution in Bihar, attracting a large number of aspirants. With the JEE Main results now available, students are keenly analyzing the previous year's cutoff ranks to estimate their chances for admission in various B.Tech programs. The competition has intensified, particularly for high-demand fields such as Computer Science and Engineering, where the required ranks have risen significantly due to the increasing number of candidates.

For the 2026 admission cycle, the cutoff ranks for NIT Patna have been detailed, showcasing the round-wise closing ranks for various programs. For instance, candidates from Bihar may secure a seat in Civil Engineering with a rank around 51,000, while out-of-state candidates typically need to be under 42,000. The admission process is structured through the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA), where candidates must register, fill their preferences, and participate in multiple rounds of seat allotment. Special rounds by the Central Seat Allocation Board (CSAB) may offer additional opportunities for those with slightly lower ranks. Students must complete document verification and fee payment to confirm their admission once a seat is allotted.
