With a 9 lakh rank in JEE Main 2025 and OBC category , it is not likely to get admission in Government colleges like PMEC (Parala Maharaja Engineering College, Berhampur, Odisha) through JoSAA or CSAB counselling , as their cutoffs are much lower (typically within 2–3 lakh rank for OBC).

Why It’s Difficult:

  • PMEC is a state government college and primarily admits through OJEE or JEE Main ranks .

  • For Electrical Engineering , even under OBC category, the closing ranks are typically under 2.5 lakh (CRL) .

  • A 9 lakh CRL rank is too high for any government engineering seat .

Your Best Options:

  1. Apply through OJEE or state-level counseling (if you're from Odisha) — sometimes diploma/spot seats are available.

  2. Look at private engineering colleges in Odisha or nearby states that accept high ranks or direct admission.

  3. Consider diploma-to-degree (lateral entry) route if you’ve done a diploma.

  4. Explore colleges offering management quota or fee-waiver schemes for OBC or low-income students.
