Hello there,

With a 7,00,000 rank in JEE Mains , admission to top colleges in Kolkata for ECE is challenging, but still possible through private colleges or management quota .

1. Private Colleges in Kolkata :

• Techno India University

• Future Institute of Engineering and Management

• B.P. Poddar Institute of Management and Technology

• Narula Institute of Technology

These may offer admission through management quota or direct admission, especially in the later rounds.

2. Private Universities :

• Sister Nivedita University

• University of Engineering & Management (UEM) Kolkata

These universities might also accept students with higher ranks via management quota .

3. Lateral Entry Option :

You could pursue a diploma in ECE and later join a B.Tech program through lateral entry.

4. WBJEE Counselling :

If you’ve appeared for WBJEE , check for opportunities in government colleges with a more flexible cutoff for in-state students.

5. Alternative Streams :

Consider related fields like Electrical Engineering or Computer Science , which may have slightly higher cutoffs but still be accessible.

With a 65 percentile in JEE Mains and an ST category rank of 11115 , getting admission into a top NIT would be challenging, as the closing ranks for popular branches (like CSE, ECE, etc.) are much lower. However, you may still have chances for admission in less competitive NITs or for less preferred branches .

Possible options:

1. NITs with lower closing ranks : You may have a chance in NITs like NIT Mizoram, NIT Nagaland, or NIT Puducherry .

2. Less preferred branches : Consider branches with lower demand like Mining Engineering , Metallurgical Engineering , etc.

3. State Quota : Some states may offer additional seats for ST candidates under state-level counselling.

Make sure to participate in all rounds of JoSAA counselling to maximize your chances.

New IIITs – Very difficult, almost no chance.

Tip: Try for state government colleges through JEE Main too.

Since you’ve qualified JEE Mains Paper 2 but not Paper 1, you cannot apply for JEE Advanced directly, as the eligibility for JEE Advanced requires candidates to have qualified JEE Mains Paper 1 .

Important Points:

1. Eligibility for JEE Advanced : You must qualify Paper 1 of JEE Mains, which is the entrance exam for JEE Advanced . Paper 2 is for B.Arch aspirants and does not affect eligibility for JEE Advanced.

2. Which Score is Counted : For JEE Advanced , only the Paper 1 score is considered, and it’s used to determine your eligibility for the exam.

What to Do Next:

• You may be able to apply for other B.Arch colleges based on your Paper 2 result, but for JEE Advanced, you would need to clear Paper 1 in a future attempt.
