IIIT Bangalore Alumni

With a CRL rank of 131,456 in JEE, getting a seat in top NITs or IIITs for highly competitive branches like Computer Science or Electronics may be difficult. However, you might have a chance for admission to lower-ranked NITs or IIITs in less competitive branches. You can also consider applying through state quotas or explore other government engineering colleges. Participating in counseling rounds and being flexible with branch preferences will increase your chances of securing a seat.

Hello Vaibhav,

You're in a good spot with a 97 percentile and solid IIIT/NIT/BIT Mesra options.

If your aim is software/tech industry (coding, product, startups, placements): opt for CSE at any of the IIITs at Dharwad, Ranchi, Bhagalpur or Manipur. Even tier-3 IIITs (CSE) will lead to better placements and internship opportunities in software roles than core branches at NITs. These will lead to better ROI than core branches, due to the tech placements and remote work.

Your next best option: IIIT ECE at Sri City or Una (ECE at Sri City has good industry engagement since it is close to Chennai & tech parks).

Recommended Prioritisation (if you are comfortable pursuing a tech career):

1. IIIT CSE (Dharwad > Ranchi > Bhagalpur > Manipur)
2. BIT Mesra – ECC/EEE
3. IIIT ECE (Sri City > Una > Nagpur > others)
4. NIT JSR – Civil > Metallurgy > Production
5. IIITDM Kancheepuram (Mech).

Hello,

With an 85 percentile, OBC rank around 71,500, CRL rank 2,00,000, home state quota, and a green card, your chances of getting admission to IIIT Bhubaneswar might be limited, as the cutoffs usually are a bit higher. However, it’s still worth participating in the counseling process and exploring all your options carefully.

Stay positive and keep backup options ready to ensure you get the best possible seat.

Hope it helps you!
