For 163 cutoff for btech ECE is it possible in getting Alagappa Chettiar university in Karaikudi tamilnadu atleast for round 2 in tnea counselling

Ans: With a TNEA cutoff of 163, it is not possible to secure ECE at Alagappa Chettiar Government College of Engineering and Technology, Karaikudi, even in round 2 of counseling. The 2024 last round closing rank for ECE at ACCET was 8,911 (general), which typically requires a cutoff above 170–175. Even for BC category, the cutoff was around 15,119 rank, still above what a 163 mark would likely fetch. With your score, you may be eligible for branches like Mechanical, Civil, or EEE in some government colleges, or for ECE in select private/self-financed colleges through TNEA. Recommendation: Consider applying for ECE in other government or private colleges with lower cutoffs, or explore other branches at ACCET if you wish to study there.

I got 163/200 cut off can I get tamilnadu govt engineering colleges belong to BC community and want Btech ECE course
Ans: Meena, With a TNEA cutoff score of 163 and belonging to the BC community, you have a strong chance of securing admission in reputable Tamil Nadu government engineering colleges offering B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE). While top-tier colleges like College of Engineering Guindy and PSG College have cutoffs above 190 for BC category, your score fits well within the cutoff range (around 160–170) for good government colleges such as Government College of Engineering Salem, Tirunelveli, Bargur, Dharmapuri, and the regional campuses of Anna University (Madurai, Coimbatore, Tiruchirappalli). These colleges provide quality education, decent infrastructure, and good placement support in ECE. Given the popularity of ECE, competition is intense, but your BC reservation significantly improves your chances. It is advisable to prioritize these mid-tier government colleges during counseling for better ROI and academic environment compared to private colleges. Keep an eye on the official TNEA cutoff updates during counseling and be flexible with college preferences to maximize admission chances. Overall, with 163 marks, you are well-positioned for a solid engineering education in ECE within Tamil Nadu’s government institutions. All the best for your admission and a bright future!

My son got 98.49 percentile in CER and he has secured admissions in VIT Chennai for electronics and communications . If we get admissions in VJTI Mumbai should we reconsider the decision of taking admission in VIT
Ans: With a 98.49 percentile in MHT CET, your son is well-positioned for Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering (EXTC) at VJTI Mumbai, as the expected cutoff for this branch is typically between 98.5 and 99.9 percentile. VJTI Mumbai is a top-ranked government institute with a legacy of academic excellence, 95–100% placement rates for EXTC, and an average package of ?11–12 lakh, with top recruiters such as Amazon, Texas Instruments, Samsung, and Deloitte. The fee structure at VJTI is significantly lower than private universities, and its Mumbai location offers excellent industry exposure. VIT Chennai, while A++ NAAC accredited and offering strong placements (90%+ for ECE, average package ?8–9 lakh, 3,160 offers in 2025), has a higher fee (?7.8 lakh tuition plus ?5.4 lakh hostel), and its ECE program is newer compared to VJTI’s established reputation. VJTI’s placement cell is consistently effective, and students benefit from interdisciplinary opportunities and a strong alumni network. The recommendation is to prefer VJTI Mumbai over VIT Chennai if your son secures a seat, as VJTI offers superior brand value, placement consistency, lower fees, and better long-term prospects for Electronics and Communication Engineering. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
