How Can I get into btech ECE with a cut off 163 in Tamilnadu engineering collegesl

Ans: The expected cutoff for ECE in top Anna University affiliated colleges in Chennai is around 180-190, but with a score of 165.5, admission to the highest-ranked colleges like SSN or MIT Chennai for ECE is unlikely. If you are flexible with location, consider Anna University Regional Campuses or other government engineering colleges where cutoffs for ECE may be closer to your score.

Keep an eye on spot admissions and counseling rounds for any seat vacancies.

Explore other branches like Mechanical or Electrical Engineering in top colleges if you want to prioritize college reputation over branch preference, as their cutoffs are slightly lower. All the best for your admissions and a bright future!
