What is meant by opening and closing rank for jee main

Hello Pranav

Welcome to careers360!

Opening and closing rank means college opens it's admission from rank 'X' and it's admission closes at rank 'Y'.

It means if you have obtained any rank between X and Y . You can get admission in that college.

You can have better raank than X to get admission that college.

Let NIT 'A' opening rank was 2000 last year and closing rank was 10,000.

So if you have rank    0<x <10,000  . Then you have chances of getting admission in this college.
