Hello student,

With a rank of 63,000 in JEE Mains and belonging to the EWS (Economically Weaker Section) category, your chances of securing a seat in an NIT or IIIT may be limited, particularly for popular branches like Computer Science .

Potential Opportunities:

  1. NITs: Newer or Lesser-Known NITs: You might have a chance in some of the newer NITs or those with lower cutoffs. Examples include NIT Puducherry, NIT Nagaland, or NIT Sikkim. However, branches like Computer Science might still be challenging.

  2. IIITs: Newer IIITs: Institutions like IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Bhagalpur, or IIIT Una may offer seats in branches related to Engineering or Information Technology.

  3. Other Institutes: Government-Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs): Look into GFTIs which might have less competitive branches available.

Hy,

When comparing different IITs and their respective programs, it's essential to consider factors such as placement statistics, career opportunities, faculty, research facilities, and overall reputation.

IIT Roorkee, Chemical Engineering

  • Reputation: IIT Roorkee has a strong reputation in Chemical Engineering and is one of the oldest IITs, with a robust network of alumni and industry connections.

  • Placement Stats: Historically, IIT Roorkee has had good placement records in Chemical Engineering, with competitive salaries and opportunities for higher studies or research roles.

IIT Mandi/Ropar/Patna, Mathematics and Computing

  • Reputation: These newer IITs have rapidly established themselves in Mathematics and Computing. They are known for strong programs in these fields and offer significant opportunities for research and industry collaboration.
  • Opportunities: Graduates from these IITs have been increasingly successful in securing roles in top tech companies, finance, and research institutions.
  • Placement Stats: Recent reports suggest that Mathematics and Computing graduates from IIT Mandi, Ropar, and Patna have seen strong placements, with competitive offers from leading tech firms and finance companies.

IIT Kanpur, Mechanical/Chemical Engineering

  • Reputation: IIT Kanpur is renowned for its engineering programs, including Mechanical and Chemical Engineering. It is one of the top IITs in terms of research output, faculty quality, and industry connections.

Hello Aspirant,

There is no concept of getting a free seat in IITs . You need to clear jee advanced to get into these colleges . And you need to be under atleast 2-3k to get a good branch in these IITs in these colleges.

The cut offs although varies a bit depending upon the certain factors such as number of candidates appearing in the examination, previous year cutoffs and difficulty level of the paper.

Hello Siddharth,

Considering you as a general category candidate and as you want to take admission in IIT KANPUR for M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering so let me tell you that your all India rank should be under 3k only then you would be able to take admission in IIT Kanpur.

However the cut offs doesn't only depend on the difficulty level of the examination but it also depends on number of seats available in the college, previous year cut offs .

To get knowledge about the cut offs for previous years you can check out the link given below -
