Question by Veerashrinivas on Jun 10, 2025

I got 114 marks in MET and my rank is 11137 and I got Electronics and Computer Engineering in Bangalore Campus, but being my preferred branch cse,will i get cse in Bangalore Campus if I go to the further rounds of counselling??

Ans: With MET rank 11137 and 114 marks, securing CSE at MIT Bangalore Campus in subsequent counselling rounds presents significant challenges but limited possibilities exist through the five-round counselling process. The current Round 1 cutoff for CSE at MIT Bangalore stands at 9362 for general category, while your Electronics and Computer Engineering allotment indicates acceptance within the 11838 closing rank range. MET 2025 counselling operates through five rounds plus an intra-institute sliding round, with registration for Round 2 scheduled from June 18-19, 2025, followed by seat allotment on June 21, 2025. Historical data shows CSE cutoffs have remained consistently competitive, with Round 1 closing ranks of 5141 in 2024, 6494 in 2023, and similar trends across previous years. While rank improvements of 1,000-2,000 positions occasionally occur in later rounds due to seat surrendering and choice modifications, the gap of approximately 1,775 ranks between your rank (11137) and current CSE cutoff (9362) makes admission highly unlikely. MIT Bangalore demonstrates strong placement performance with highest package of INR 51 LPA, average package of INR 12.5 LPA, and median package of INR 10 LPA, with top recruiters including Amazon, Microsoft, TCS, Goldman Sachs, and over 330 companies participating in placements. Electronics and Computer Engineering at MIT Bangalore offers excellent career prospects with strong industry exposure similar to CSE, benefiting from the centralized placement process shared with MIT Manipal. Recommendation: Accept Electronics and Computer Engineering at MIT Bangalore as it offers excellent placement prospects with similar industry exposure to CSE, while registering for subsequent counselling rounds as backup, though CSE admission probability remains extremely low given the competitive cutoff trends and significant rank gap. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
