Joyjit Question by Joyjit on Sep 01, 2025Hindi
Career

My EWS category rank is 1259 and crl rank is 28448 so can I get jgec or Kalyani government engineering College cse or any brunch?

Ans: Joyjit, With a WBJEE EWS rank of 1,259 and CRL rank of 28,448, your chances of securing CSE at top government colleges like JGEC or KGEC are limited since CSE cutoffs for these colleges typically close below 2,000 for the EWS category. JGEC's CSE closes around rank 1,747 for general category and approximately 1,400-1,600 for EWS, making admission uncertain with rank 1,259. At KGEC, CSE closes around rank 1,432 for general and approximately 1,200-1,300 for EWS, giving you a reasonable chance. However, other branches like ECE, EE, or IT at both colleges are more achievable with your EWS rank. Alternative colleges with better admission prospects include Institute of Engineering & Management Kolkata. Heritage Institute of Technology. Techno India Salt Lake. Narula Institute of Technology. RCC Institute of Information Technology. Academy of Technology. Brainware Group of Institutions. Dream Institute of Technology. Camellia Institute of Engineering & Technology. Future Institute of Engineering & Management. These private colleges accept EWS candidates with ranks around 1,500-3,000 for CSE and allied branches, offering good infrastructure and placement support for career development. Target KGEC for CSE admission using your EWS rank while keeping backup options at reputable private colleges like Heritage Institute and IEM Kolkata for assured placement in CSE or IT branches. Fill in the maximum number of choices, including your preferred colleges/branches. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

My sister has an option to go for EEE/ECE in VIT Vellore campus or AI/ML in VIT Amravati/Bhopal campus. Which option should she go for? Want to maximise on placement opportunities in these uncertain times. Other colleges in list: 1. CSE, AI in SRM University (Ramapuram) 2. CSE /AI in Alliance University 3. CSE/ AI in Mahindra Ecole School of Engineering. Would really appreciate some help.
Ans: Satvik, before I answer your question, I suggest you ask your sister which branch she is interested in or passionate about, and what types of problems she wants to solve in the future to make the best choice. However, she should also remain adaptable and open to changing her focus if her interests evolve during her undergraduate program by upgrading her skills and staying informed about job market trends. Answering your question, please note, for placement security, VIT Vellore ECE is the best choice, offering a strong balance of brand reputation, alumni network, recruiters, and access to tech placements, with VIT reporting top recruiters and a high CTC of ?1 crore across all campuses. VIT Vellore EEE is a good option only if she is committed to developing strong coding and electronics skills. The AI-ML branch at VIT AP or Bhopal is attractive, though the campus brand is not as established as Vellore; notably, VIT Bhopal reported a highest package of 51 LPA and over 1,100 placements for 2025. Mahindra University’s CSE/AI program is a promising emerging option, with an average salary of 9.1 LPA and a highest package of 40 LPA in 2024. SRM Ramapuram’s CSE/AI offers a reasonable backup, while Alliance’s CSE/AI should be considered last. Overall, the final recommendation is to prioritize VIT Vellore ECE over AI/ML at the newer campuses. All the Best for Your Sister's Prosperous Future!
