Hello Aspirant,

Congratulations! You have multiple admission options!! Here is a short comparison to help you decide:

• SRM Ramapuram : Good brand value for placement opportunities - placement is the most positive area for the university. Ramapuram is a smaller campus and typically, has more of an industry focus compared to the Kattankulathur campus.
• LPU Jalandhar: Modern campus with national diversity, they boast good placements in CSE/IT, moderate ECE, and not as core focused. Fees are heavier than your other options and Jalandhar is also more distance from Tamil Nadu.
• Rajalakshmi Engineering College (REC) : Good name in Tamil Nadu as a part of Anna University. More geared to ECE core learning with affordable fees, better placement at the local level, and less distance.  Probably represents a more stable option for you if you are likely to be TNEA based and expect a long-term outcome.

If you value core ECE, want to be in Tamil Nadu, then Rajalakshmi Engineering College is a solid options. If however, you have an interest in attending a private university with more academics that are flexible and prepared to relocate: SRM Ramapuram is also an option.

With a cutoff of 196 and belonging to the MBC category, you have a fair chance of getting into MIT for branches like IT or ECE, and possibly Mechanical. At CEG Guindy, chances for CSE or ECE are slightly tough since their cutoffs for MBC are usually above 197, but it’s not impossible depending on this year’s trends and vacancies in later rounds. Your score is strong, so you should definitely list CEG and MIT as top preferences in your choice filling. Keep participating in all counselling rounds, including sliding and mop-up, to increase your chances.

With a TNEA score of 185 in the BC category, you have a strong chance of securing admission to the Chemical Engineering program at CIT Coimbatore. In the last two years, the cutoff marks for BC students in this branch hovered around 180 to 186, and since your score meets or slightly exceeds those figures, you’re in a good position—especially in later counselling rounds.
