With a WBJEE rank of around 59,000 in the General Merit Rank (GMR) and approximately 6,500 in the SC category, admission to top government engineering colleges in West Bengal for popular branches like Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) or Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) is quite challenging. Typically, government colleges fill their CSE and ECE seats with candidates having ranks much better (lower) than 59,000 GMR, including reserved category cutoffs.
However, there are still some government and government-aided engineering colleges where candidates with SC ranks in the range of 6,000+ may have a chance depending on seat availability, branch preference, and counseling rounds. Admission chances improve if you are flexible with branch choice or consider less-demanded government colleges or newer campuses.
Some government engineering colleges in West Bengal where you can consider applying include:
West Bengal University of Technology (WBUT) Affiliated Colleges: Various colleges affiliated with WBUT accept WBJEE ranks across categories for branches including CSE and ECE. Checking round-by-round Cutoffs during counseling may help find places with available seats.
Government College of Engineering and Textile Technology, Serampore: Known for textile and other branches but may offer branches like ECE or allied streams with flexible cutoffs in reserved categories.
Government College of Engineering and Leather Technology, Kolkata: Another government college with limited seats in popular branches but often less competitive than premier institutes.
Camellia Institute of Engineering & Technology: While not fully government, it has government-aided status and can be considered for counseling under WBJEE.
Other Government-Aided Affiliates: Colleges like Kalyani Government Engineering College, Netaji Subhas Engineering College, Jhargram Government Engineering College may open seats during later rounds or mop-up rounds for reserved categories.
It is strongly recommended to participate actively in all counseling rounds and consider options like lateral entry, less popular branches, or newer campuses. The cutoff ranks fluctuate yearly based on seat availability, number of applicants, and category-specific reservation policies.
In summary, with your WBJEE rank, chances at top government colleges for CSE/ECE are limited but not impossible at some government or aided colleges accepting SC candidates. Flexibility and active counseling participation are key to securing admission.
Hey! With your WBJEE GMR rank of 59,000 and SC rank of 6,500, getting admission in government colleges for CSE or ECE is quite tough, but not completely impossible. For top government colleges like Jadavpur University or Heritage Institute, the closing ranks for CSE/ECE are much lower, so chances there are almost nil.
However, in the SC category, some mid-level government colleges might still have seats open in later rounds of counselling. Your SC rank of 6,500 could give you a shot in branches like CSE, ECE, or IT in colleges where SC cutoffs are higher.
It’s highly recommended to participate in all counselling rounds, including mop-up rounds, and also consider private colleges, as they may offer good education with a chance for admission at your rank. Look for colleges where SC category closing ranks are close to your rank.
Keep checking the official WBJEE counselling portal regularly for updates, and consider backup branches like IT or ECE if CSE seems too competitive.
Hey :)
Thanks for reaching out!
With a GMR of 59,000 and SC rank of 6,500, admission to CSE or ECE in government colleges is unlikely . However, your SC rank could help you secure a seat in mid - tier govt colleges for less competitive branches like civil, electrical, mechanical in later rounds , but CSE or ECE are still difficult.
To improve your chances, make sure to participate in all counselling rounds and also consider private colleges, where SC candidates with your rank have better opportunity to secure CSE or ECE.
