Hello,

Sorry, but it's unlikely you will get into NIT Rourkela Computer Science with a 99 percentile and OBC-NCL status under the Home State quota, as the closing rank of this category is very competitive and often falls within the top 8,000 ranks.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hi! As a PCB student, you can pursue B Tech in Computer Science at some universities that offer bridge courses in Mathematics , Colleges include Career Point University (Rajasthan), Lovely Professional University (Punjab), and VIT University (Tamil Nadu). Admission usually requires clearing the university’s entrance exam, and bridge courses cover the necessary math concepts. These programs open opportunities in software development, data science, AI, and cybersecurity.


Hello,

If you’re asking whether you can get a good b tech c ollege for Computer Science with fees under 5 lakh and decent placements.

Yes, it’s possible.

Government and state engineering colleges usually have low fees and strong placement opportunities.

Some private colleges also offer CSE with reasonable fees and good campus recruitment.

To know latest updates on fees, cutoffs, and placements, regularly check official college websites and educational portal Careers360.

So, with proper research and timely counseling, you can find a college that fits your budget and placement expectations.

Hope you understand.

Hello,

The claim that "Few colleges are offering CS to the PCB student by providing a bridge course" isn't fake; it is a valid pathway, particularly in private universities. This has been made possible by recent educational policy changes, such as the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and updated University Grants Commission (UGC) and All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) guidelines.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hello,

Yes, it's possible for a PCB student to pursue a BTech in Computer Science, although it depends on the university. Some private universities and deemed-to-be universities allow admission based on their own entrance exams or offer bridge courses to cover the mathematics requirement. For government colleges, this is typically not an option, as they require 12th-grade Mathematics (PCM) as a mandatory subject.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hello,

Yes, there is an ex-servicemen (Ex-Servicemen) quota for ME Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) admissions through TANCET (Tamil Nadu Common Entrance Test). This reservation is part of the special category seats for Tamil Nadu natives.

According to the TNEA (Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions) guidelines, 8 seats in University Departments, 34 in University Colleges, and 108 in Government and Government-aided Colleges are reserved for the sons and daughters of ex-servicemen. This totals 150 seats across various institutions.

Eligibility Criteria:

  • You must be a native of Tamil Nadu.

  • You should be the son or daughter of an ex-serviceman.

  • You need to provide relevant documents, such as the parent’s discharge certificate and ID card, to claim this quota.

This quota is available only to Tamil Nadu natives. If you are not a native of Tamil Nadu, you may not be eligible for this reservation.

Hope it helps !

Hlo Dear Candidate,

For Computer Science/IT students in the general category, cracking government seats mainly depends on your entrance exam score. For exams like JEE Main or state CETs, you generally need around 90–95 percentile to secure a top government seat in CS/IT.

For state-level engineering admissions, the cutoff varies by college and state, but usually you need 85–95% marks in PCM or entrance exams to get a government seat. Top colleges like IITs, NITs, and state engineering colleges have the highest cutoffs for CS/IT.

Factors like number of seats, competition, and your rank also affect admission. To improve your chances, aim for 95%+ in board exams and a high rank in entrance exams.

Hello,

You can correct it during the application form correction window. When the correction window opens, log in to your account and change your exam preference to only DA .

If the correction window is not available now, you will have to wait until it opens. Keep checking the official website regularly for updates.

Hope it helps !
