I got GMR 60500 in WBJEE, which colleges I can get for Btech CSE?

Ans: You may get some lower-demand GFTIs/state govt colleges, and should focus more on Andhra Pradesh state counselling. Keep CSAB/JoSAA for slim-chance lower branches in very low-cutoff institutes

Good luck.

Ans: Harsha, based on your score, your best chances depend heavily on Home State quota. Prefer Mechanical only if available in NIT Hamirpur, Jalandhar, Patna, Raipur, Agartala, Silchar, Srinagar, Puducherry, Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland or Sikkim in later JoSAA/CSAB rounds. Have 3-4 reputed private engineering colleges as backups in and around your State instead of relying only on JoSAA/CSAB. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: With JEE Main CRL 81,537, NIT/IIIT/GFTI CSE through JoSAA is unlikely. For MIT Manipal/MIT Bengaluru, chances look better. MET 2026 rank uses 50% MET + 50% Class 12 marks; your son has 138/240 MET + 92% boards, so the final merit rank may be competitive. In 2025, MIT Manipal CSE closed at 5606 and MIT Bengaluru CSE at 13,834 in later rounds. Therefore, MIT Bengaluru CSE is more realistic, while MIT Manipal core CSE is difficult but worth trying. It is recommended to have 3-4 more reputed Private Engineering Colleges as backups. All the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Ans: Kasi Sir, based on your son's score, top NIT CSE is unlikely, as NIT Trichy/Surathkal/Warangal/Allahabad/Calicut CSE usually close much earlier in JoSAA. Realistic CSE/IT chances are newer/lower NITs through home-state quota, IIITs like Una, Kottayam, Dharwad, Kalyani, Bhagalpur, Sonepat/Nagpur range may be possible depending on category/state. Also try CSAB. It is advisable to have State Counselling & 3-4 reputed Private Engineering Colleges as backups. All the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Ans: Krishna, your chances in top?tier NITs or IIIT CSE/ECE are very low, but you can still target less?competitive branches in weaker NITs, IIITs and GFTIs mainly through HS?OBC and gender?neutral seats. You can try for NIT Patna, NIT Silchar, NIT Nagaland, NIT Mizoram, NIT Arunachal Pradesh for Civil, Chemical, Metallurgy, Food?Tech, Production, or lower?demand branches under HS?OBC in later rounds apart from new/remote IIITs like IIIT Manipur, IIIT Nagaland, IIIT Una, or IIIT Bhagalpur for IT?linked or non?CSE branches. Have 3-4 reputed Private Engineering Colleges also as backups if affordable by your parents. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: You may have moderate/little chances for ECE in some lower/mid-tier IIITs such as IIIT Kota (borderline with female quota), IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Dharwad, IIIT Agartala, or similar, depending on your exact OBC rank and cutoff movement

Ans: Top NITs are not possible. But try lower NITs. Keep an alternative option as a backup.

Ans: Chances are there only with lower/mid-demand branches or newer/lower-cutoff NITs, and possibly some lower branches at the NIT Warangal via home-state quota.

Good luck.

Ans: The question is very vague. You did not mention your home state and category. Assuming you are from the open category, the chances of getting into top NITs/IIITs are slim. But you can try newer NITs/lower IIITs for less in-demand branches.

Good luck.
