Based on the previous year's WBJEE cutoff ranks for the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) branch at Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College (JGEC), scoring 65 marks might make it challenging but not entirely impossible to secure a seat.

Looking at the 2024 cutoff data, the closing ranks for the General category (Home State) in the three rounds of counselling for CSE were quite low, ranging from 1747 to 2157 . These ranks typically correspond to significantly higher marks than 65 in the WBJEE.

However, the actual rank you secure with 65 marks in WBJEE 2025 will be crucial. The marks vs. rank correlation can vary each year depending on the overall performance of the candidates and the difficulty level of the exam. Generally, a score of 60-79 in WBJEE tends to correspond to a rank somewhere in the range of 15,750 to 16,250 based on some estimations.

Given this estimated rank range, admission to the CSE branch at JGEC, which typically closes within the top few thousand ranks for the general category, appears difficult.

Therefore, while getting a CSE seat at JGEC with 65 marks in the general category seems difficult based on past trends, your category and performance relative to others will be the deciding factors. You should aim to score as high as possible in WBJEE 2025 and then check the official cutoff ranks released by WBJEEB after the results. Keep an eye on the counselling process and participate in all relevant rounds.

KCET marks = 84/180 → ~46.67%

Board marks (PCM) = 270/300 → 90%

Normalized average = (46.67 + 90) ÷ 2 = 68.33%

Now, based on previous years' data and trends:

Students with around 68–70% normalized score usually get a KCET engineering rank between 8,000 and 14,000.

If competition is slightly higher this year, it could stretch to around 15,000.

If you belong to a reserved category (like OBC, SC, ST, etc.), your effective rank for seat allotment will be even better because of category reservation.

Since you’ve qualified JEE Mains Paper 2 but not Paper 1, you cannot apply for JEE Advanced directly, as the eligibility for JEE Advanced requires candidates to have qualified JEE Mains Paper 1 .

Important Points:

1. Eligibility for JEE Advanced : You must qualify Paper 1 of JEE Mains, which is the entrance exam for JEE Advanced . Paper 2 is for B.Arch aspirants and does not affect eligibility for JEE Advanced.

2. Which Score is Counted : For JEE Advanced , only the Paper 1 score is considered, and it’s used to determine your eligibility for the exam.

What to Do Next:

• You may be able to apply for other B.Arch colleges based on your Paper 2 result, but for JEE Advanced, you would need to clear Paper 1 in a future attempt.

AUEET (Alliance University Engineering Entrance Test) marks and rank needed for CSE and ECE branches.

CSE (Computer Science and Engineering):

Marks: Try to score above 80–85% of the total marks.

Rank: Be within Top 200–250 ranks to be very safe for CSE (since it's the most in-demand branch).

ECE (Electronics and Communication Engineering):

Marks: Around 70–75% of the total marks should be good.

Rank: Within Top 400–500 ranks usually gets you ECE easily.

Hello,

According to medical education site, if you want to get into a reputable government medical college under the 15% all India quota, you should aim for a score between 510 and 540 on the NEET 2025 exam as a BC A applicant. It is generally advised to have a score above 161, and ideally above 500, in order to gain admission to a Government Medical College.However, a medical education website state that the precise cut off may change depending on variables such as the exams difficulty level and the volume of a students taking it.

Hello there,

With a 24 percentile in JEE Mains , and considering your 12th score of 76% and 10th score of 82% , it may be challenging to secure a seat in top-tier colleges for B.Tech in IT or ECE . However, you can still explore lower-tier government and private colleges with affordable fees . Here are a few options to consider:

Government Colleges:

1. State Government Colleges (State Quota)

   • Engineering Colleges in UP, MP, Odisha, Rajasthan

   • Govt. Engineering Colleges in Bihar (like BCE Patna, MIT Muzaffarpur)

   • Govt. Engineering Colleges in Tamil Nadu (if applying through the state quota)
     
     

2. Lower Tier NITs or IIITs

   • NIT Manipur

   • NIT Mizoram

   • NIT Nagaland
     
     Private Colleges:

1. Shiv Nadar University (Greater Noida)

2. KIIT University (Bhubaneswar)

3. UPES (Dehradun)

4. SRM University (Chennai)

5. Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University (Katra)

6. Amity University (Noida)

7. VIT Bhopal

8. Graphic Era University (Dehradun)

These colleges offer good infrastructure and affordable fees. Private colleges might have moderate fees but offer scholarship programs that can reduce the cost.

Alright, let's go through it carefully:

You have:

• TANCET M.Tech (CSE) Percentile : 94 in CSE, 93 overall.

Now, for TANCET M.Tech Admissions:

• In Anna University (CEG Campus, MIT Campus) , CSE branches generally close around 95 to 98 percentile for Open/General category .
  So with 94 percentile , it is a little borderline — you might just miss CEG Campus CSE in open category, but MIT Campus or other Anna University regional campuses are still very much possible .

• PSG Tech Coimbatore is even tougher — CSE closes around 96–98 percentile .
  It’s one of the top colleges, so your chance for direct CSE admission in PSG is slightly low at 94 percentile.

Realistic chances:

• Anna University Affiliated Colleges (like ACTech, MIT, or regional Anna campuses): Good chance .

• Other top private colleges like:

  1. SSN College of Engineering (Chennai)

  2. Kumaraguru College of Technology (Coimbatore)

  3. Sri Sairam Engineering College

  4. RMK Engineering College
     — You have very good chances here with 94 percentile.

• PSG Tech : Difficult for CSE, but you might get allied branches like Software Engineering , Information Technology , etc., if you prefer.

In Short:

• Anna University main CEG campus CSE : Slightly difficult but apply — sometimes cutoff changes!

• MIT Campus and Anna University affiliated colleges : Good chance .

• PSG Tech for pure CSE: Hard , but try for related IT/Software branches if open.

Hi Adhya! Congratulations on clearing JEE Advanced !

Based on your JEE Advanced scores:

• CRL Rank : 304880

• OBC-NCL Rank : 107412

Admission Possibilities in NITs and IIITs :

With your OBC-NCL rank of 107412 , here’s what you can expect:

• Top NITs (like NIT Trichy, Warangal, Surathkal, etc.) and IIITs (like IIIT Hyderabad) will likely be out of reach for branches like CSE , as they typically require a much lower rank.

• However, for lower-ranked NITs and IIITs , you may have a chance for branches like:

Information Technology (IT)

Software Engineering

Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE)

Some NITs that might still offer you a seat in IT or related branches are:

• NIT Durgapur

• NIT Goa

• NIT Sikkim

• NIT Mizoram

• NIT Nagaland

• NIT Puducherry

IIITs :

For IIITs , the competition is high for CSE , but you may still have a chance in newer IIITs like:

• IIIT Kota

• IIIT Bhagalpur

• IIIT Nagpur

• IIIT Kalyani

Other Good Options:

If you are interested in CSE or related branches , here are a few private universities that offer strong computer science programs:

• VIT Vellore

• SRM Institute of Science and Technology

• Shiv Nadar University

• Amrita University

• Manipal University

These institutions offer CSE , Software Engineering , and related branches and have a high reputation, with good campus placements.

Summary:

• Top NITs and IIITs : Unlikely for CSE with your rank, but branches like IT, Software Engineering, and ECE may be possible in lower-ranked institutions.

• Private Universities : You have a strong chance in institutions like VIT , SRM , Shiv Nadar , and Amrita .

Hello,

Scoring around 330 consistently in mocks shows you have a good grasp of the syllabus. With just 8 days left, focus on revising important topics and strengthening your weak areas instead of learning anything new. Practice previous year papers and mock tests to improve your speed and accuracy. Time management during the exam is crucial, so try simulating full-length tests under timed conditions. Stay calm and confident, and make sure to take care of your health as well.

All the best!
