    ECE: Jobs Data

    As per previous year's placement data, the ECE branch's placement rate is quite impressive compared to the other branches of engineering. Among the eight colleges that shared placement data 2020-21, for the analysis, the placement percentage for ECE ranged from around 70 to 100 per cent. The highest placement took place at the IITs. But for the below graph, IIT Kharagpur and NIT Surathkal did not share how many students enrolled for the placement process and have been removed from the list.

    ECE Department: Placement Rate

    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.

    IIT Roorkee and IIT ISM Dhanbad had more students registered for placement than the number of students enrolled. It may be because of some lateral entry of students after the enrollment process.

    Have a question related to JEE Main ?

    Hi Manish Saraswat,

    Yes, you can get NIT seat with 84.89 percentile in JEE Mains. Your's JEE Main rank is expected to be 2 lakh 22 thousand plus. See the list of NITs from the link below in which you may get an NIT seat.

    Link 1: https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/jee-main-marks-vs-rank

    Link 2:

    The institute’s cutoff will depend on several factors that affect the chances of admission. Nonetheless, you are advised to apply for admission and participate in the counselling process. You can also contact SASTRA University directly for further information.
    Please refer to this article for relevant information- https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/sastra-btech-admission

    With an 86.28 percentile in JEE Main 2026, an SC candidate is not likely to secure admission into top NITs. They will need more than 90 percentile for admission. However, they will have chances in mid-tier NITs.

    Hi Kumar Ujjwal,

    You need to pass 10+2 or appearing for class 12 at the time of JEE Main registration. Only candidates who passed with aggregate percentage of marks will be allowed for futher process. To know more details click on the link below.

    Link : https://engineering.careers360.com/articles/jee-main-eligibility-criteria

    Yes, it is possible to get a top 100 rank in JEE Advanced in one year (Class 12)—but it’s extremely difficult. It requires near-perfect execution, strong basics, and consistency for the entire year. Most rankers at that level usually prepare for 2+ years, so you’ll need to work smarter +
