Hey Jhansi:)

Thanks for reaching out!

For a girl from the SC category ,Based on past trends, the closing rank in Andhra University for Civil and mechanical engineering through AP EAPCET were around 38,000 respectively. If your rank is better than this,you have a good chance of admission. however, cut-offs can vary each year based on seat availability ,no.of Applicants and category-wise competition.So, it's important to follow the latest councelling updates for accurate information.

Fill in the required details to know exact cut-off:

All the best!


You can apply through state-level entrance exams like JEECUP (Uttar Pradesh), DTE Maharashtra, or direct admission based on 10th marks. Visit the official website of your state’s polytechnic board for updates.


No, with a JEE Main rank of 30,551 in 2025, getting admission into Mechanical Engineering at SPCE (Sardar Patel College of Engineering, Mumbai) is unlikely. SPCE primarily admits students through the MHT CET under the Maharashtra State CAP counselling process. While it does accept a limited number of JEE Main candidates, the closing ranks for Mechanical Engineering are generally much lower—often below 10,000 for general category students. Since your rank is higher than the typical cutoffs, the chances of securing a seat in this branch at SPCE are very slim unless there is a significant drop in demand or vacancies arise in later rounds.


With a JEE Main 2025 rank of 30,551, getting Mechanical Engineering at SPCE is unlikely. SPCE mostly fills seats via MHT CET, and JEE Main cutoffs for Mechanical are usually below 18,000. You may still get other colleges or branches with your rank.

Hmm, with a JEE Main rank of 30,551, getting into Mechanical at SPCE (Sardar Patel College of Engineering) is honestly super unlikely. They mostly take students through MHT-CET, not JEE. And even if they do consider JEE scores for some seats, the cutoff for Mechanical is usually way lower like under 5,000, especially for general category.

If you're from Maharashtra and gave MHT-CET, you might still have a shot there, but with this JEE rank alone, chances are slim. If you're open to other colleges or branches though, you’ve still got decent options. Just depends on what you’re aiming for.

Hi Sirjana,

I appreciate how clear you’ve been. Yes, you can still apply for Diploma in Mechanical Engineering after passing 10th  you don’t necessarily need to pass 12th for polytechnic diploma courses. Since you’re considering management quota, colleges may have some flexibility with deadlines. I'd recommend visiting nearby private polytechnic colleges directly or checking their websites  most colleges keep a management quota admission window open longer than government counseling

Thank you


Yes ,it is possible to get admission through mangement quota for mechanical engineering. Most diploma courses require only 10th pass as a basic eligibility.if you want to to join through mangement quota,you have to contact with private college or polytechnic institute that offer mechanical engineering diploma, but fees under mangement quota are usually high. Addmissions are still open for diploma course, addmission process is going on till August end.

Hii,

Yes, you can. Polytechnic diploma in Mechanical Engineering requires only 10th pass. You don’t need to clear 12th for this course. Many private polytechnic colleges offer direct admissions under management quota without any entrance. You just need to provide your 10th marksheet, transfer certificate (TC), and ID proof. It’s advisable to choose a college approved by AICTE so that later you can apply for B.Tech through lateral entry. Also, management seats might cost more, but admissions stay open longer than in government counseling. So yes, even if you couldn’t pass 12th, diploma is a good option.

Hope you will find it helpful!


good afternoon, average B.E. Mechanical Engineering Fees in India

Government Colleges    25,000 – 75,000    Lower fees due to state subsidies; SC/ST students often pay much less

Private Colleges    1,00,000 –2,50,000    Varies by reputation, location, and facilities

Top Institutes (IITs/NITs)    75,000 – 2,50,000    Includes tuition + other charges; hostel fees extra

SC/ST category students often benefit from fee waivers or scholarships, especially in government and centrally funded institutions. In some cases, the effective annual fee can drop below 10,000.

Hi,

With a rank of 5.3 lakh in JEE Mains, getting a mechanical seat in PMEC Berhampur through normal OJEE counselling is very difficult, especially if you're an out-of-state candidate. OJEE mostly reserves seats for Odisha state students in the earlier rounds, and only a few institutional spot rounds might consider others.

However, if the college has vacant seats in September’s spot/institutional round, and they allow direct admission based on vacant quota, there’s a chance you could be considered. The issue is many Odisha colleges do not allow out-of-state students unless stated clearly by OJEE.

You can also consider other private colleges in nearby states that may accept your score.

Thank you!
