GATE 2012 Computer Science and Information Technology Previous Year Paper

With a 71 percentile in JEE Main and belonging to the SC category , your chances of securing admission to Computer Science (CS) or Information Technology (IT) at the University of Mumbai are limited.

• The qualifying cutoff for SC candidates in JEE Main 2024 was approximately 60.09 percentile .
• For B.Tech in Computer Engineering, the closing ranks for SC candidates in 2024 ranged from ~14,000 to ~19,000 across various affiliated colleges.

• Consider applying for branches with higher closing ranks, such as Mechanical or Civil Engineering.

• Look into private engineering colleges in Mumbai that accept JEE Main scores and have more flexible cutoff criteria.

• Participate in Maharashtra's state-level engineering entrance exams (e.g., MHT CET) for better opportunities.

For more  information , you can refer to the official website: Mumbai University Admissions (https://mu.ac.in/) .

With a KCET 2025 score of 116 (approximately 64.4% ), your estimated rank would be around 6,000–7,000 .

Given your estimated rank of 6,000–7,000 , securing a seat in Computer Science Engineering at JSS Science and Technology University (formerly SJCE) Mysore may be challenging.

• Consider branches with higher closing ranks
• Explore private institutions in Karnataka.

For more detailss, you can refer to the official website: KCET Official Site (https://cetonline.karnataka.gov.in/kea/) .

With an EAMCET rank of 95,000 in the BCE (Backward Classes E) category, securing a seat in Computer Science Engineering (CSE) at Lords Institute of Engineering and Technology (LIET), Hyderabad is unlikely under the Convener (Category A) quota .

• Explore other institutions where your rank might be competitive for CSE or related branches.

• Ensure you participate in the counseling process to explore all available options.

HEY THERE!!

Which to Choose?

UPES is preferable if you desire better placement percentages, updated curriculum with specialisations, and greater international exposure. The highest and average packages are also slightly improved, and the university provides good industry relations and global options.

KIIT is also an excellent private university with a good reputation, good placements, and great campus life. If you like its campus culture or location, it's still a strong option.

In general, UPES has a marginal advantage in placements and industry interaction for Computer Science.

Select according to your preferences: location, charges, campus, and specializations.

With a 91.74 percentile and a rank of 122000 in JEE Mains 2025, as a female candidate, you may secure Computer Science in some reputed state-level or women-centric engineering colleges through home state or female quota.

Hii,

In Delhi, various colleges recognize CUET scores for BTech in Computer Science.  Some of the top alternatives are:

1. Delhi Technological University (DTU)

2. Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology (IIIT-Delhi)

3. Netaji Subhas University of Technology (NSUT)

4. Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU)

These colleges offer BTech in Computer Science, and admission is based on CUET scores. Make sure to check the official websites for detailed information.

Here are the official websites

• Delhi Technological University (DTU)
  Website: https://dtu.ac.in/

• Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi (IIIT-Delhi)

With a JEE Main rank under 2 lakh, you can still get admission to some government colleges for B.Tech in CS or IT. Here are some options for that:

NITs

* NIT Agartala

* NIT Puducherry

* NIT Mizoram

* NIT Sikkim

* NIT Arunachal Pradesh

IIITs

* IIIT Guwahati

* IIIT Kota

* IIIT Kalyani

* IIIT Una

Other GFTIs:

* Indian Institute of Carpet Technology, Bhadohi

* NIFTEM, Thanjavur

Cutoffs vary each year, so check the latest JoSAA counselling data for accurate info.

With a rank of 23,000 in JEE Mains, it is unlikely to secure a Computer Science specialization in AI and Machine Learning at SRM Sonipat Delhi NCR, as the competition for such branches tends to be high. You may want to explore other options or consider management quotas.

Hello,

With a MET score of 120 out of 240 and 93% in your board exams, it might be challenging to secure a seat in Computer Science Engineering (CSE) at Manipal's main campus . Historically, the cutoff for CSE at the main campus has been around 180 marks or higher.

However, you may have better chances for CSE or related branches like Information Technology or Data Science at Manipal's Jaipur or Sikkim campuses.

So, you should participate in the counselling process and explore all available options. Additionally, consider backup plans such as applying to other universities or exploring different engineering branches.

Hope it helps !
