Mechanical Engineering: Jobs Data

As per the previous year data, fourteen premier engineering colleges in the country together averaged a placement rate of about 76 per cent for their BTech in Mechanical Engineering graduates who registered for placement in 2020-21. All 14 are among the top 25 public technical institutions in the country, as ranked by the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF 2021). IIT Delhi, IIT Kanpur, IIT Kharagpur and NIT Surathkal did not share the total enrolled students data in the RTIs and so these institutes were removed from the analysis for the graph below.

Mechanical Engineering Placement Rate

More than half of the colleges have a better placement percentage in the mechanical branch as compared to the overall average placement percentage of the colleges.

In 2020-21, the best placement rate for Mechanical Engineering was at NIT Surathkal Karnataka (NITK) which beat even the top IITs. Equally surprisingly, was the fact that Jadavpur University, a state university in West Bengal stood second.

Questions related to JEE Main

Have a question related to JEE Main ?
  • You can participate in CSAB Special Rounds after JoSAA if any lower NIT/IIIT or GFTI has CSE or related branches open for OBC-NCL + Female category.

  • Chances are very slim at your rank even in CSAB.

  • Private College Direct Admission

  • State Level Counselling Where Delhi Candidate Eligible (Private Colleges)

  • Try CUET UG 2025 for reputed Central Universities CSE programs.

JEE Mains College Predictor 2025 - Careers360

  • Telangana Engineering colleges take admission through TS EAMCET, not JEE Mains (except some private universities).

  • You should participate in TS EAMCET counselling for state colleges.

  • Few private universities/colleges may consider JEE Mains rank for management quota/direct admission .

Careers360 TS EAMCET College Predictor:

TS EAMCET College Predictor - Careers360


It is improbable that you would get admitted to SIT Lonavala's Computer Science and Engineering program with a JEE Main score of 62 percentile.  CSE cutoffs have been far higher in other years, with closing ranks equal to percentiles exceeding 85–89.  Other fields or universities with lower cutoffs could be worth looking into.

Sure, a jee main marks of 62.6% with 12 pass, you will admission in Sinhgad College of Engineering, Lonavala.

With you jee main marks you will be considered in All india quota or management quota. Also for some top branches you cannot choose with this mark but you can go with other branches like CS , civil etc..


All the best!!!


Admission with first class in JEE


With a 72 percentile in JEE Main 2025 and an expected 80%+ in your 12th board exams , securing admission to B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) at Guru Nanak Dev University (GNDU), Amritsar may be challenging.

A 72 percentile typically translates to an AIR between 250,000–300,000 , which is significantly higher than the previous year's closing ranks for CSE and related branches at GNDU.

  • Consider applying for branches with higher closing ranks, such as Computer Engineering or Cyber Security , though admission may still be competitive.
  • Look into other universities or colleges
  • For more detailed information, you can visit GNDU's official admission page: GNDU Admissions (https://www.gnduadmissions.org/)
