My gmr rank is 6700 in wbjee. Can i get cse or ece in government college?

Ans: With a domicile General Merit Rank (GMR) of 6700, admission into core branches like CSE or ECE at top government engineering colleges is unlikely. For instance, Jadavpur University, the premier government institute, typically closes CSE admissions around rank 120 and ECE around rank 400 for the general category, far below 6700. Other government colleges like Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College and Kalyani Government Engineering College have closing ranks for CSE and ECE that usually range up to 6000 but not as high as 6700 for these branches. However, there are a few mid-tier government colleges such as Ramkrishna Mahato Government Engineering College (CSE closes around 5900, ECE around 8500), Cooch Behar Government Engineering College (ECE closes around 9300), and Alipurduar Government Engineering College (ECE closes around 12400), where seats may still be available close to that rank. For backup, private institutes with a reputation for good placements and CSE/ECE branches accepting ranks around 6000 to 14000 include Heritage Institute of Technology, Institute of Engineering & Management (IEM) Kolkata, Techno India Salt Lake, Narula Institute of Technology, Guru Nanak Institute of Technology, Camellia Institute of Technology, Sanaka Education Trust Group, and Aliah University. The chances for core branches in government colleges at 6700 GMR rank are slim but not impossible in some mid-tier government colleges; however, private colleges offer more reliable options at this rank range. The recommendation is to apply strategically focusing on mid-tier government colleges while simultaneously considering these private colleges for CSE or ECE to ensure admission and have better branch options. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Got admission for pg mtec at vit vellore in embedded system. Preferring vlsi but no chance and hence decided to study embedded. Is it good for placement?
Ans: Vellore Institute of Technology’s M.Tech in Embedded Systems is a solid choice, especially if VLSI didn’t work out. VIT Vellore has strong industry connections, and recent placements show opportunities in embedded software, firmware, automotive electronics, IoT, verification, and semiconductor-related roles. However, success in embedded placements depends more on skills than just the branch. Recruiters typically look for strong C/C++ programming; knowledge of microcontrollers, RTOS, embedded Linux, ARM architecture, and digital electronics; communication protocols like CAN, SPI, and I2C; and basic VLSI and Verilog knowledge, along with relevant projects and internships. Placement trends for VIT’s M.Tech Embedded in the last few years has been decent but generally below top VLSI roles, with many students also moving into software or IT roles. Core embedded and VLSI companies recruit selectively, so it’s important to build a semiconductor-focused profile. Accepting VIT Vellore for Embedded Systems is a good step, and during the M.Tech, focusing on VLSI verification, SystemVerilog, FPGA, and Linux driver development will improve chances with semiconductor firms. This can lead to strong placements, but it’s essential to back the degree with practical skills and experience. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!
