If you're going for the Special OJEE round and you're from the SC category , a safe rank for getting into a government engineering college would be anything around 1.6 to 1.75 lakh or better . Honestly, even a bit higher than that might still get you a seat—especially in branches like Civil, Mechanical, or Electrical , since they usually have seats left in the special round.

These rounds mostly fill up leftover seats, so if you’re okay with slightly less popular branches, your chances are definitely there. Just make sure to lock your choices smartly and don’t wait till the last minute.
