A 140 is a genuinely workable cutoff — you're near the heart of the distribution, not the tail. Context from 2025 averages: the average OC closing cutoff was about 147.5 for CSE, 145.4 for AI & DS, 144.8 for IT, and 142.4 for ECE — so at 140 you're a few marks below the computing averages, meaning roughly the lower-middle band of computing colleges is your realistic zone. For Mechanical (avg 126.7) and Civil (avg 130.0) you're comfortably above average and can aim at solid core-branch colleges. Schedule-wise, 140 places you in Round 2 (aggregate 171 to 135.75, choice filling Aug 3–5). Build a list that pairs mid-band computing choices with strong core-branch options — check which specific colleges closed near 140 using the free TNEAhelp College-Finder.
