Hello aspirant,
With a rank of 1,74,932 in EAMCET, it will be difficult to get Mechanical Engineering in top government or autonomous colleges, but you still have chances in some private engineering colleges, especially in rural or low-demand regions. Colleges that are on the outskirts of cities or in districts with lower competition may offer Mechanical seats even at higher ranks.

You should target private institutions affiliated with JNTU that have larger intake capacities. Some colleges in districts like Nalgonda, Nizamabad, Karimnagar, or Warangal may still have availability during the final counselling rounds or spot admission phases. It’s important to register for TS EAMCET counselling, keep your options open, and participate in all rounds, including spot admission.

Hello aspirant,
That’s a great choice! Hostel fees for Mechanical Engineering students can vary depending on the institute, location, and type of accommodation (shared or single, AC or non-AC). In most engineering colleges, hostel fees range from 30,000 to 1,20,000 per year, including mess charges.

Many colleges do allow installment payments, especially private institutions. Generally, the fee is split into two installments—one at the time of admission and the second halfway through the academic year. For example, if the hostel fee is 80,000 per year, you might pay 40,000 initially and 40,000 later.

However, this option depends on the college’s policies, so it’s best to confirm with the admission or hostel office of your chosen college.

Dear Candidate

With a Tamil Nadu Rank (TNR) of 4099 and an All-India Rank (AIR) of 11789 under Stream 1 at SASTRA University, you have a moderate to good chance of getting admission in Mechanical Engineering or related fields, depending on the campus and the counselling round. The Thanjavur main campus typically sees Mechanical Engineering closing around TNR 3000 to 4000. However, there have been times when the cutoff extended slightly in later rounds. This means you still have a chance, especially if some seats remain unfilled. Your prospects improve even more if you consider mechanical-related courses like Mechatronics, Aerospace Engineering, or Engineering Science, which often have slightly lower cutoffs. At the Kumbakonam campus, the chances are better since the cutoffs for Mechanical and related branches tend to be more flexible. It is a good idea to participate in all rounds of counselling and keep your branch preferences open to boost your chances of admission. If you are interested in mechanical systems and engineering design, courses such as Mechatronics or Aerospace can provide a solid academic and career foundation.

Best of Luck

Yes, as a Telangana student , you can get admission into Diploma in Mechanical Engineering without entrance exam under certain conditions.

• You must have passed Class 10 (SSC) or its equivalent.

• For government quota seats, TS POLYCET is mandatory .

• For non-government seats , you can explore management or spot admissions .

With an 81.6 percentile in MHT CET (OBC) , your estimated rank is around 19,000–32,000 , placing you in a middle bracket, not the very top, but still strong. Here are the top Pune engineering colleges where you are realistically in contention for Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineering

• Top Choice: PCCOE - strong placement prospects and good brand value

• Second Tier: AISSMS – aim for Mechanical or Electrical

• Safe Picks: SCOE and SAE – reliable backup options

• Avoid COEP as admission is out of reach at this percentile

Hello Aspirant,

Considering your BC community rank of 3978 in TNEA, it is highly unlikely that you can secure a Mechanical Engineering seat in PSG College of Technology in the general counselling round. PSG College of Technology is one of the best engineering colleges in Tamil Nadu, and Mechanical Engineering is a very widely accepted branch. The cut off, in general, for BC candidates in Mechanical at PSG College of Technology is 1000 -1500 rank.

Hello Aspirant,

If you are choosing between CIT Kundrathur and SRM Kattankulathur (KTR) for Mechanical Engineering, your decision should depend on your priorities. SRM KTR is a reputed, NAAC A++ and NIRF-ranked university with excellent infrastructure, flexible curriculum, and better brand value. It offers greater exposure through internships, events, and international collaborations. However, for the Mechanical branch, core placements at SRM are moderate, and many companies are IT-based. On the other hand, CIT Kundrathur is gaining recognition for its focus on core engineering, skill development, and affordable fee structure. It provides strong support for core placements and industrial exposure, though it may lack the brand value and infrastructure of SRM. So, if your goal is campus life, brand name, and varied opportunities, SRM KTR is the better choice. But if you are focused on core mechanical engineering with a better return on investment, then CIT Kundrathur is a practical and smart option.

All the best for your career.
