The Opening Rank denotes the top JEE rank that secured a seat in a specific program, while the Closing Rank marks the final rank allotted in that category. Applicants whose rank falls between these two figures in the released data were successful in the first round. Admissions are determined by a combination of the candidate's rank, category, gender, and the quota associated with the institution.
