Ans: Hello Prasad
Here is the point-wise reply: (1) Rethink the idea of IIIT Gwalior if possible. (2) With the mentioned rank of MHT-CET, you have bright chances to get CSE or a computer-related branch in topmost colleges of Maharashtra in 15% other state quota. (3) If via CSAB, you have an option open with MNC IIITM Gwalior, then you can consider.
Best of luck.

Ans: Prasad, Given your scores—99.07 percentile in JEE Mains, 99.82 percentile in MHT CET, 242 in BITSAT, and a 13,189 JEE Main rank—your current allotment in IIITM Gwalior’s IT+MBA 5-year program is strong, with last year’s CSAB closing rank for this course around 20,576, so you are well within range. IIITM Gwalior offers excellent placements for this program, with recent average packages around 24–28 LPA, a placement rate of 85–100%, and top recruiters like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon. You have a slim but possible chance for ECE at IIIT Bangalore, as last year’s closing rank was 13,176 and your rank is 13,189, but CSE is out of reach as its cutoff is much lower. IIIT Bangalore’s ECE program is highly reputed, with average packages above 36 LPA and strong industry links. MNC at IIITM Gwalior is also a possibility, as the program attracts major recruiters and offers a unique blend of technical and managerial skills, providing flexibility for both tech and management careers. Given the high placement rates, strong recruiter base, and the added value of an MBA, the recommendation is to prefer IIITM Gwalior’s IT+MBA program for its versatility and consistently strong outcomes, but if you secure ECE at IIIT Bangalore in CSAB, it becomes the top choice for its higher average packages, national reputation, and robust tech focus. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
