PMEC Berhampur All Questions

Dear Candidate,
With a JEE Main 2025 rank of 500,00 and belonging to the OBC category , securing admission to Parala Maharaja Engineering College ( PMEC ) , Berhampur is unlikely, especially for core branches like CSE or ECE .
PMEC JEE Main cutoff trends ( 2024)
-CSE - 200,975
-ECE - 374,629
-Electrical Engineering - 1,507,148
-Mechanical Engineering- 1,505,104.

With a 9 lakh rank in JEE Main 2025 and OBC category , it is not likely to get admission in Government colleges like PMEC (Parala Maharaja Engineering College, Berhampur, Odisha) through JoSAA or CSAB counselling , as their cutoffs are much lower (typically within 2–3 lakh rank for OBC).

Why It’s Difficult:

• PMEC is a state government college and primarily admits through OJEE or JEE Main ranks .

• For Electrical Engineering , even under OBC category, the closing ranks are typically under 2.5 lakh (CRL) .

• A 9 lakh CRL rank is too high for any government engineering seat .

Your Best Options:

1. Apply through OJEE or state-level counseling (if you're from Odisha) — sometimes diploma/spot seats are available.

2. Look at private engineering colleges in Odisha or nearby states that accept high ranks or direct admission.

3. Consider diploma-to-degree (lateral entry) route if you’ve done a diploma.

4. Explore colleges offering management quota or fee-waiver schemes for OBC or low-income students.

Hy,

With an SC category rank of 48,000 and a general rank of 600,000 in the AP EAPCET , your chances of securing a seat in PMEC (Peddagantyada Municipal Engineering College) will depend on several factors, including previous cut-off trends, the number of available seats, and the specific branch you are interested in.

Factors Influencing Admission

1. Previous Year Cut-offs:

   • SC Category: Generally, colleges have different cut-offs for reserved categories, and your SC rank of 48,000 may allow you to secure admission, especially if the college has a good number of reserved seats.
   • For PMEC and similar colleges, previous cut-offs for SC category students might be in the range of 40,000 to 60,000 , but this can vary by year and the specific branch.

2. Girl Quota:

   • Many engineering colleges in Andhra Pradesh have a girl quota or may offer some additional considerations for female candidates. This may enhance your chances of getting a seat.

3. Counseling Rounds:

   • The admission process typically involves multiple rounds of counseling. If there are seats available after the first round, you might have better chances in subsequent rounds.

4. Branch Preferences:

   • If you are open to branches other than the most sought-after ones (like CSE or ECE), you may find it easier to secure a seat. Less popular branches often have higher cut-off ranks.

Recommendations

1. Check Previous Year Cut-offs:

   • Review the previous year’s cut-off data for PMEC specifically, focusing on both SC and general category ranks. This will give you an idea of your chances.

2. Participate in Counseling:

   • Make sure to actively participate in the counseling process and choose your preferred colleges and branches wisely.

3. Consider Other Options:

   • Be flexible with your choices and consider applying to other colleges as well, in case you do not secure a seat at PMEC.

4. Stay Informed:

   • Keep checking the official AP EAPCET counseling website for updates regarding seat allotments, counseling schedules, and any announcements.

Hello student,

With an EWS rank of 100,000 , getting admission to the Electronics and Communication (ECE) branch at PMEC Brahmapur (Parala Maharaja Engineering College) may be challenging, especially during the initial rounds of counseling. However, there might still be a chance in later rounds or spot counseling, depending on seat availability and the cutoff for that year.

Cutoffs for ECE can fluctuate based on the number of applicants, category reservations, and seat vacancies. It's advisable to participate in the counseling process and keep track of spot rounds, as seats sometimes become available due to other candidates withdrawing.

Hii There,

The cutoff for admissions varies annually based on factors such as the difficulty level of the entrance exam and the number of applicants. However, with your percentile, it's unlikely that you'll be able to secure admission to any government college if you belong to the EWS category. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Good luck!

Hii There,

The chances of getting this is rare. So I will suggest you to choose different state government colleges like Government college of Engineering Keonjhar and Government College of Engineering Kalahandi for CSE branch. However, your chances also depends on which category you belongs to.

I hope this answers your question.
