With a KCET rank of 1,65,000, getting Mechanical Engineering at PES College of Engineering, Mandya is very unlikely in the earlier rounds. In recent years, the cutoff for Mechanical has usually closed around 1,30,000 to 1,40,000 in Round 1, and in some cases extended beyond 1,60,000 in Round 2 or casual vacancy rounds, depending on the category and seat availability.

If you're from a reserved category, you might still have a chance in later rounds. Otherwise, the chances are slim. You can wait for further rounds or explore other colleges where the closing rank for Mechanical is higher.

Hello Aspirant,

Both Mechanical Engineering in IIITDM Kancheepuram and Chemical Engineering in NIT Trichy have their own strengths and weaknesses; they are both good options (yes, I know this is a cliché). Which is the better choice for you to take will ultimately depend on your interests and future ambitions.

You should take Mechanical in IIITDM Kancheepuram if:

1. You are specifically interested in design, manufacturing, robotics or mechatronics, etc.
2. You prefer a design-based curriculum that also allows for some of your own interdisciplinary work from parallel fields such as electronics and computer science.
3. You plan on doing higher studies in mechanical/design-related fields or, you are going for a role in technology where you want to apply skill learning across multiple domains.

You should take Chemical in NIT Trichy if:

1. You are really interested in core chemical processes, research, or looking for a career in critical industries like oil, gas, pharmacy, materials.
2. You think NIT Trichy may have better connections from the alumni network, better placements or recruitment, or possibly better facilities and building resources.
3. You seek public sector jobs, core chemical R & D jobs, or want to study abroad before you apply for your first job in core chemical disciplines.

Hi dear candidate,

There are multiple mechanical engineering colleges in Andhra Pradesh like Andhra University (Vizag), Sri Venkateshwara University (Tirupati), JNTU (Anantapur). The usual cut off trend for these colleges is between 1,000 to 4,000.

Factors like student category or branch selected may also affect your rank as reserved categories may avail slight benefits and branches like CSE, AI/ ML are very competitive.

For complete list of top colleges kindly refer to our official wesbite:

Government Polytechnic College, Nizamabad has not yet released the 2025 cutoff for Mechanical Engineering. But based on the previous year, the closing rank for Mechanical Engineering was around 48,600 for BC category (boys).

So, if your TS POLYCET 2025 rank is below 50,000, you have a good chance of getting a Mechanical Engineering seat in this college. The cutoff may change a little this year based on the number of applicants and their ranks.

You should take part in the TS POLYCET counselling and select this college as one of your options. Keep checking official updates to know the exact cutoff when it is released.

If you got a rank of 99,656 in ap eamcet 2025 you may still be eligible for mechanical engineering in a few low to mid tier private college in andra pradesh especially in rural or lesser known districts government colleges and top private institution like vit-ap , gitam or srm-ap are unlikely at this rank some colleges in dostricts like krishna , east godavari etc may offer you a seat during the final rounds of counselling

Dear aspirant,

The cut off for mechanical department generally depends on the state, institutions, courses ,the category the students belongs to and the specific entrance exams . For IIT admissions through JEE (Advanced), the closing ranks for Mechanical Engineering can range from around 3,600 to 12,000 for the general category students depending on the specific IITs. For reserved category the cut off is slightly lowe. On the other hand the GATE cutoff for Mechanical Engineering (ME) is typically around 28-35 for the General category and lower for reserved categories. NITs also have different cutoffs for Mechanical Engineering. It's better to check your preferred institution's official website for accurate information.

Hello Vikas,

Yes, Flowthermolab is a great platform for understanding CFD, particularly for mechanical and aerospace engineers. Offering courses with industry relevance that expose students to a combination of practical tools such as ANSYS Fluent and OpenFOAM alongside background theoretical studies. Their project-based learning enables students to apply and synthesize knowledge from their academic studies in preparation for working in the field of thermal and fluid sciences, and is great for career building purposes.

With a mechanical branch rank of 661 and being an OC candidate, your chances of getting admission into Gayathri Vidya Parishad (GVP), Visakhapatnam are quite good. GVP's closing ranks for Mechanical often go beyond 1000 for OC, so your rank is well within range. Keep it as a top choice during counselling and you should have a solid chance.

Hello aspirant,
With a JEE Main rank around 225,000, you are well-positioned to secure admission to Mechanical Engineering in reputable government-aided and private colleges in Lucknow under AKTU (formerly UPTU). For example, IET Lucknow, a top government college, typically fills its Mechanical seats up to around 68,000–75,000 in early rounds and extends to about 75,000 to 90,000 in later rounds. Since you're beyond that range, IET may not be feasible.

However, University of Lucknow (LU) via UPTAC often opens Mechanical at ranks up to 225,000 to 270,000 in the final round, and your rank should comfortably get you in there. Private AKTU-affiliated colleges in Lucknow like LIT, SRMCEM, BIET, RRGI, GITM, etc., tend to close Mechanical seats at ranks between 600,000 and 1.4 million, making them viable with your rank.

So your best options are Mechanical Engineering at University of Lucknow through state counselling, or picking core branches in mid-tier private AKTU-aligned colleges.

First, congratulations on your offer at PMEC. PMEC is a great choice if you are interested in core engineering and want a government/PSU job letter. PMEC is a government-backed college and also very affordable. But like every college, it also has some drawbacks, like if you want a CS/IT-based career, you shouldn't choose this college because your branch and college don't provide you much exposure. But if you don't have any problem with this drawback, you can choose it without any hesitation.
