IIT Roorkee, one of the oldest engineering colleges, had a low placement rate compared to other newly-established colleges for ECE branch. But as per data shared with the NIRF, many IIT Roorkee students go for higher studies, which could be one explanation for the low placement percentage.
IIT-ISM Dhanbad, where the programme is relatively new, showed the lowest placement percentage for ECE. IIT Kharagpur remains at the top of the placement rate table just like its NIRF rank.

Hello,
For JEE Main and JEE Advanced , the cut-offs are lower for ST category students. Here is a simple idea based on recent trends:
JEE Main qualification for ST : Around 50–60 marks is usually enough to qualify for JEE Advanced.
JEE Advanced qualification for ST : You just need to clear the JEE Main cut-off, then appear for Advanced.
To get good NITs or IITs , you will need higher marks.
For NITs (Hyderabad or good branches), try for 120+ marks in JEE Main .
For IITs , even with ST quota, you should aim for at least 80–100+ marks in JEE Advanced for decent branches.
Since you are from ST category and Hyderabad , you don’t need 300 marks in JEE Main. Try to score as high as possible to get better branches, but even moderate marks can qualify you.
Hope it helps !
