These are 2025 closes from the last general round. Both branches got easier to enter in 2025 as TNEA seats grew, so a rank a little past the close can still clear in the supplementary round. ST is left out because AI&DS had no ST close in 2025.
Figures use the AI&DS fee and count the one biggest waiver you qualify for.
