QnA related to Electrical Engineering

Ask your question related to Electrical Engineering

Bro, with a rank of 35,000, getting into Mirzapur’s government polytechnic for Mechanical Production or Electrical in Round 6 is not guaranteed, but still possible. Last year, Government Polytechnic Mirzapur’s closing rank for Electrical was only around 6,976 in Round 6


But Government Polytechnic Rajgarh (Mirzapur area) gave seats for Mechanical & Automation up to 8,569 in its Round 2 closing rank .


So, here's the deal:


If your rank is close and you have category reservation, your chances improve.


Mechanical Production in newer institutes like Rajgarh might still have seats.


Electrical is more competitive since cutoff is much lower.


My advice? Apply in Round 6, keep options open beyond Mirzapur too, and stay ready to take that seat if it comes!

Hi!

With a rank of 35,000, you still have a fair chance of getting Mechanical Production or Electrical trade in Mirzapur Polytechnic, especially in the later counselling rounds. In the first 2–3 rounds, cut-offs are higher, but by the 5th and 6th rounds, many seats open up as candidates upgrade to better colleges. Keep participating in all rounds and don’t skip reporting if allotted. Also, look at nearby government polytechnic colleges as backup options, since they might have similar courses and better seat availability. Stay ready with documents like domicile, caste certificate (if applicable), and mark sheets to avoid delays during admission. Many students with higher ranks get trades in later rounds simply because they remain active in the counselling process.

Hello Aspirant,

If placements and prospects are your aim, then:

  1. NIT Andhra Pradesh EEE: This will lead to good core and IT related opportunities as well as opportunities as an engineer in government exams and various core companies and coding roles.
  2. NIT Raipur Chemical: Chemical has few core jobs and most students switch to IT. This is somewhat less flexible than EEE.
  3. IIIT Kancheepuram Mechanical (Dual Degree): Although a dual degree will provide more research exposure, mechanical engineering has fewer core jobs. Placements are improving but still evolving.

Yes, you can directly get admission into the Electrical Engineering branch at most universities.


An 85% score is excellent for securing lateral entry admission.


Make sure to review the university's guidelines and fee structure before proceeding with the admission process.

Hi Harsh!

If you’re in your 1st semester of electrical engineering and want to change to another engineering college, you typically don’t need 10th class marks for admission unless you're applying fresh through management or lateral entry. However, some colleges may ask for your 10th and 12th marks for their internal assessment. Generally, you’ll need to apply through a migration process, and most colleges want a minimum of 50–60% in 10th. But the real focus will be on your current academic record, transfer certificate , no objection certificate , and university approval. Visit the new college for exact transfer process.

All the best!

If you want to take admission in a government polytechnic college for electrical engineering, then the first step is to appear for the state level polytechnic entrance exam. For example, in Uttar Pradesh it's JEECUP, and in other states there are similar exams. Based on your rank in that exam, you'll get a chance to attend counselling where you can choose electrical engineering and select government colleges according to your preference. Once a seat is allotted, you’ll have to complete the document verification and pay the admission fee to confirm your seat.

No, Vinoba Bhave University (VBU), Hazaribagh does not offer BTech programs. It mainly offers general degrees (BA, BSc, BCom, MA, MSc, etc.). For BTech, you need to apply to affiliated engineering colleges or other technical universities.

Yes, Vinoba Bhave University offers a B.Tech program in Electrical Engineering through its University College of Engineering and Technology in Hazaribagh. The program is of four years duration and requires candidates to have passed 10+2 with Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry or a related subject, usually with at least 50% marks. Admissions are generally through entrance exams like JEE Main or the Jharkhand Combined Entrance Competitive Examination (JCECE). The annual tuition fee is around 1 lakh, with the total course cost estimated to be 4 to 4.2 lakh. Electrical Engineering is one of the core branches offered, along with other disciplines like Computer Science, Civil, and Mechanical Engineering.

The hostel fees, including meals, can vary significantly: government institutions may charge around INR 25,000 to 60,000 per year, while private colleges can range from INR 60,000 to over INR 1,50,000 annually.

For example,the yearly hostel fee at IIT BHU is approximately Rs. 5,500, with a mess fee of Rs. 30,000 per year.

hostel fees at RV College of Engineering, Bangalore for the 2025–26 academic year are 1,42,100 for triple-sharing and 1,90,600 for double-sharing rooms, including accommodation and mess charges.

The total fee can be estimated by combining the tuition and hostel fees. This will range significantly depending on the college and room type.

In conclusion, the fee structure of an EE program with hostel and meal plan is highly variable. Visit the specific college is essential to get an accurate understanding of the costs involved.
