Hello,

first statement can be false. counselling is done on the basis of cutoff rank range and 7 rounds are conducted and other on spot counselling rounds  also conducted. rank range increases by small fraction in every round.

Scope of EE and ECE is high and same as other top scope branch like CSE or IT. All the branches are link to each other as automation is everywhere.

to get an admission into NIT trichy or warangal for mechanical engineering, one have to get a rank below 20k for general category for home state quota. for open category, below 15k.
