Ans: Shreya, With an EWS rank of 68,040 and a CRL rank of 5,00,000 in JEE Main, obtaining a seat in Computer Science or Electronics and Communication Engineering at any of the IIITs through CSAB is extremely unlikely. Recent official cutoff data consistently shows closing EWS ranks for IIIT CS and ECE branches under 15,000, with even the newer IIITs rarely considering ranks beyond 40,000–50,000 for these popular courses. High-demand branches such as CS and ECE in IIITs remain highly competitive, reflecting strong placement percentages (in some cases above 90% for CS and 80-90% for ECE) and excellent campus infrastructure, faculty credentials, and tech-driven curricula that are nationally and internationally recognized. These institutions are known for robust industry connections, but access through CSAB special rounds at your current rank is not supported by published official trends for EWS admissions to CS/ECE.

Recommendation: It is advisable to actively explore private universities or state engineering colleges with more accessible cutoffs for your rank. Participating in state-level counseling and considering allied branches or core engineering domains at reputable institutes will help optimize your admission prospects and pave the way for a solid engineering education if top IIIT branches remain out of reach. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) offers a recognized BTech CSE program with NAAC A++ accreditation, UGC and NBA recognition, and consistent placement support. The CSE placement rate in 2023 was about 60%, with active recruitment from leading employers, modern campus resources, and a strong alumni network. For IIITs, your All India rank of 48,580 makes admission to CSE or ECE difficult in IIIT Nagpur, Pune, Guwahati, Trichy, or Kottayam. In 2024 CSAB rounds, CSE in IIIT Nagpur and Pune closed below 32,000–35,000, while ECE in Nagpur reached up to 50,000 but often fills earlier. IIIT Guwahati, Pune, Trichy, and Kottayam had cutoffs ranging from 19,000 to 35,000 for CSE, and generally below 47,000 for ECE in open categories, placing your rank just at or above the boundary for select ECE programs, but well outside CSE cutoffs for most preferred IIITs. These IIITs demonstrate high placement percentages (typically 74–89% for CSE and 40–80% for ECE), robust industry internships, and growing reputations, with strong curriculum alignment and industry-relevant projects. However, high demand for CSE ensures that closing ranks are competitive and often shift based on real-time vacancy and category.

Recommendation: Accepting JMI CSE ensures a confirmed seat in a reputable program with stable placements and strong credentials. If you decide to attend CSAB rounds, expect a marginal chance at ECE (not CSE) in lower-cutoff IIITs like Nagpur or Kottayam, but securing a CSE seat in any listed IIIT at your rank is highly unlikely based on recent official cutoffs. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
