Electrical Engineering - A Quick Guide

With a JEE Mains rank around 203,820, chances of getting top NITs or IIITs are low. You may get admission in some state-level or private engineering colleges across India. Branches like ECE or EE are more likely than CSE or IT, as those are highly competitive. Consider looking into newer NITs or private universities too.

Dear Candidate,
With a CG PET score of 50-55 marks , you have a fair chance of getting admission to the Electrical Engineering branch at Bhilai Institute of Technology ( BIT ) , Durg , especially if you belong to a reserved category .
