QnA related to Computer Science Engineering

Ask your question related to Computer Science Engineering

Yes, with a 41000 rank in KCET, you might get CS sub-branches like Information Science or Artificial Intelligence in some of the top 10 colleges, but it depends on category and seat availability.

With an 89.06% score in MHT CET and belonging to the SC category, you have a good chance of securing admission to Computer Science (CS) or Information Technology (IT) branches in some Pune engineering colleges. You should aim for colleges like Vishwakarma Institute of Technology (VIT) Pune, or consider other options like PICT, or DJ Sanghvi (if you're open to Mumbai). Remember to participate actively in the MHT CET counseling process (CAP) and fill your choices carefully.

A 72.5 percentile in MHT-CET (OBC) typically corresponds to a state rank of around 30,000–32,000 . With that, Computer (CS) branch in government colleges is unlikely, but you can still aim for good private or lesser-known government institutes.

Hello Ram

As per your mentioned query , yes you can get admission in CS with percentage of 75 in PCM. As many institutions requires minimum of 60% in PCM for admission in CS. However , institutions like NITs , IITs have higher percentage of requirement to get admission.

I hope this helps you!

Good luck !

Dear Aspirant

With your given JEE Mains percentile and rank you can focus on applying to tier two engineering colleges in Maharashtra as well as explore options in the JoSAA counselling rounds You have realistic chances in certain branches and colleges that generally have slightly higher closing ranks

In Maharashtra for tier two engineering colleges you can consider institutes that participate in the MHTCET counselling as well as those that accept JEE Mains scores These include institutions like Bharati Vidyapeeth College of Engineering Pune MIT Academy of Engineering Pune D Y Patil College of Engineering Akurdi PCCOE Pune and AISSMS College of Engineering Pune These colleges often have seats available for Computer Science Chemical Engineering or allied branches You may find it a bit challenging to get into Computer Science in these colleges as the demand is high but Chemical Engineering or related branches may have higher closing ranks giving you a better chance

For JoSAA counselling your OBC rank places you in a zone where NITs and IIITs in core branches may not be accessible in the earlier rounds but you can explore institutes in the northeast and newer NITs where Chemical Engineering or Electronics and Communication Engineering seats may remain open until the last rounds For example NIT Mizoram NIT Nagaland NIT Sikkim NIT Arunachal Pradesh or NIT Puducherry may have closing ranks that match your OBC rank for Chemical or Electronics and Communication Engineering

When it comes to government colleges for Mechanical Engineering you can look at state level government engineering colleges that take JEE Mains score for admission These include Government College of Engineering Amravati Government College of Engineering Karad and Government College of Engineering Chandrapur Your chances are better in Mechanical Engineering as the closing ranks tend to go higher compared to Computer Science and related streams

In JoSAA it is important to fill a wide range of choices and not limit your options only to preferred branches You should include Chemical Engineering Mechanical Engineering Production Engineering Metallurgical and other allied branches to maximize your chance of securing a seat during the counselling process Participate in all rounds and pay attention to mock seat allotments to understand where your chances are higher

Keep documents ready such as your JEE Mains admit card score card category certificate and academic certificates for smooth participation in counselling Also consider applying for state counselling processes such as MHTCET or similar as a backup
With seventy five percentile and an All India Rank of three lakh sixty seven thousand and an OBC rank of one lakh thirty one thousand you can target tier two colleges in Maharashtra like Bharati Vidyapeeth College of Engineering MIT Academy of Engineering D Y Patil College of Engineering and PCCOE for branches like Chemical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering Through JoSAA you may expect chances in Chemical or Electronics and Communication Engineering at newer NITs and institutes in northeast India Be flexible with your choices and participate actively in all counselling rounds to secure a suitable seat in a good college

You have three options: SIT Pune (Electronics and Telecommunication), MIT-WPU Pune (Electronics and Communication), and VIT Pune (Computer Science through management quota).

If your main goal is good placement and overall personality development, then VIT Pune is the best choice. It offers strong placements in software and IT companies. Even if you are joining through management quota, you will get the same placement chances as other students.

MIT-WPU Pune is also good. It has a modern campus and helps students build communication and soft skills. But placements in the core ECE field are less. Most students go for IT jobs.

SIT Pune is fine too, but it has fewer placement opportunities compared to the other two colleges. It is better if you do not get the other options.

So, if you want a career in software and good placements, go with VIT Pune. If you prefer a balanced college life with decent placements, MIT-WPU is a good option.

Hi Mohit,

The DN Polytechnic College in Meerut usually takes admission based on 10th class marks so if you have got marks above 55% then you are on a safe side. The college also accepts JEECUP exam with merit for SC category at the score of 67.

Hello,

To provide accurate details, I need to know which exam you are talking about (like JEE Main, AP EAMCET, TS EAMCET, etc.) and your category (General, OBC, SC, ST, etc.). Also, please mention the state or colleges you are targeting.

Thank you !

If you have scored eighty eight percentile in the MHT CET exam and you are looking for admission in the BTech Computer Science branch then you have a good chance of getting a seat in some reputed engineering colleges in Maharashtra Although you may not get the top government colleges like COEP Pune or VJTI Mumbai in the first round you still have chances in other good colleges like PICT Pune MIT WPU Pune and PCCOE Pune Some other colleges like DY Patil College of Engineering Ramrao Adik Institute of Technology and Vishwakarma Institute of Information Technology also offer good placements and faculty for computer science The availability of seats will also depend on your category home university region and the choice of college preferences during counselling You are advised to take part in the centralised admission process conducted by the state government and fill in as many options as possible in the choice filling round to improve your chances of getting admission in a good college


Hello Aspirant,

With a KCET rank of 82,900, securing a Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) seat in government colleges in Bengaluru is highly unlikely. For CSE under the General category, closing ranks at UVCE, RVCE, BMSCE, MSRIT, etc., are typically between 3,000 and 9,000.However, you can consider government aided colleges or some private colleges.And also you can explore some other branches with this rank like mechanical,civil or engineering.

You should participate in all counselling rounds via KEA.

Consider private colleges for branch like CSE and core branches like civil,mechanical or electrical in government or government-aided colleges.

All the best for your counselling process.
