College of Engineering, Guindy Reviews on Infrastructure, Campus, Placement, Facilities & Faculty

Dear Shivani,

Thank you for your query.

With an approximate score of 176.15 out of 200 in the TNEA (Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions), your chances of getting admission to College of Engineering, Guindy (CEG) or Madras Institute of Technology (MIT), Chennai depend on a few critical factors:

1. Normalisation: TNEA uses a normalisation method to equate marks from different state boards, so your actual rank may vary once normalisation is applied.

2. Category and Quota: As you mentioned you are an out-of-state candidate, you would fall under the open category (general) in the other state quota, which typically has very high cutoffs for premier colleges like CEG and MIT.

3. Previous Year Trends:

In past years, the closing cut-off for top branches like CSE, ECE in CEG and MIT for general/open candidates (especially out-of-state) was often above 198.

For non-core branches, chances slightly increase, but even then, a score above 190 was generally preferred.

Conclusion:

With a score of 176.15, it is highly unlikely to get admission in CEG or MIT Chennai, especially in top branches and under out-of-state quota. However, you may consider other good engineering colleges in Tamil Nadu under management or open quota based on your preference and budget.

You are advised to participate in the counselling and explore:

Tier-2 government colleges in TN

Private deemed universities like SRM, VIT, or SASTRA (if applicable)

Your home state counselling for better chances.

Best of luck for your future admissions!

Having scored approx 176.15 out of 200 in KCET, without normalization, that is a extremely high score, more so as an out of state applicant. So out of state seats are less and more competitive, though you have a good chance in the Karnataka top ranked engineering colleges, more so in Computer Science, ECE or IT branch, depending upon the individual cutoff trends. But admission in the very popular government colleges such as UVCE or RVCE may be a squeeze under open category as there are few seats available to non-Karnataka students.

You can get into other state, Kota with the score of 176.1 5 out of 200 but in CEG CSE, ECE, IT are  unlike branch that you will get similarly you will get civil and industrial in CEG campus, as a borderline in MIT CSE,Aero, ECE, you will not get whereas you will get rubber and production at MIT
