Sir I got 98.387 percentile in jee mains obc rank 6498 can i get cse in a good college in csab

Ans: Hi
you can get private colleges

Ans: Hi Sanskriti
seek admission through state counselling. At this rank JOSAA & CSAB this branch is not possible.

Ans: Hello Divendrahaa
Based on the data provided, gaining admission to Manipal for the most sought-after branches appears to be challenging. You might need to make some compromises in this regard. We cannot forecast the admissions for universities such as Amrita and VIT, as their decisions may vary depending on seat availability. It would be advisable to also consider applying to other private colleges for Computer Science Engineering under the management quota.
Best of luck.
Follow me if you like the reply. Thanks

Ans: Aryan, your JEE score of 98.38 is really good. With an OBC?NCL rank of 6 498 in JEE Main, you have strong chances of securing CSE seats under CSAB in institutions like NIT Puducherry, which closed at 6 354 for OBC-NCL, and NIT Andhra Pradesh, closing at 6 215 for OBC-NCL. Among IIITs, IIIT Gwalior’s CSE OBC-NCL cutoff of 10 041 makes it a safe option, and IIIT Bhagalpur also filled CSE OBC-NCL seats up to 13 780 in Round 1. You may also consider CSE & Data Science at newer NITs (e.g., AI & DS at NIT Surathkal with OBC openings around 4 261–4 714) or IIITDM Kancheepuram CSE for a specialized curriculum. Dropping a year could target premier IIITs or top NITs (Surathkal, Warangal) but carries the risk of lower margin for error.

For assured admission and consistent placement support, the recommendation is to accept CSE at NIT Puducherry or NIT Andhra Pradesh, with IIIT Gwalior as a close alternative. Keep preparation ongoing if aiming for a competitive drop to secure a seat at a top NIT or IIIT. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Kanika, With a JEE Main CRL of 160,558 as a female candidate from Uttar Pradesh under the home state quota, the chances of securing Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at any National Institute of Technology (NIT), Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), or Government Funded Technical Institute (GFTI) through CSAB are extremely limited. Recent CSAB cutoffs for CSE, even at the least preferred NITs such as NIT Srinagar and remote GFTIs, typically close for general and female home state candidates below 130,000, while most popular or even modestly ranked NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs close well before 120,000 in 2025 special rounds. Similarly, Home State and All India female cutoffs for CSE at IIITs and GFTIs remain much lower than your current rank, with no significant relaxations observed for female UP candidates in recent trends. It is thus highly improbable that a CSE seat in any centrally funded government college will be attainable through CSAB, even in the final special rounds. No CSE seats in NITs/IIITs/GFTIs closed at or beyond 150,000 in 2025, as confirmed by the latest official CSAB data.

Recommendation: Focus on private engineering colleges in Northern India that accept JEE Main ranks and have a history of admitting candidates with CRL up to and beyond 160,000 for CSE, and simultaneously participate in CSAB as there is no risk in trying, though expectations should remain realistic.

Private colleges where admission is highly feasible for a female UP home state candidate with a JEE Main CRL rank of 160,558 for CSE include Chandigarh University, Mohali for B.Tech CSE. Lovely Professional University, Jalandhar for B.Tech CSE. Amity University, Noida for B.Tech CSE. Sharda University, Greater Noida for B.Tech CSE. Galgotias University, Greater Noida for B.Tech CSE. Jaypee Institute of Information Technology, Noida for B.Tech CSE. ABES Engineering College, Ghaziabad for B.Tech CSE. Indraprastha Institute of Technology & Management, Delhi for B.Tech CSE. GL Bajaj Institute of Technology & Management, Greater Noida for B.Tech CSE. Rishi Chadha Vishvas Girls Institute of Technology, Ghaziabad for B.Tech CSE. These institutions also provide supportive campus environments, strong placement guidance, and transparent admissions for JEE Main-qualified female candidates in Northern India. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
