Question by Jitendra on Jul 23, 2025Hindi

Sir my son has jee mains ranking 218400 and sc category in 11500 and he got marks 199 in Bits Exams . is it chans get seat in csab counseling ? and is it get seat in Bits? And which best private college in cse for studies and placements.

Ans: Jitendra Sir, With a JEE Main CRL of 218,400 and SC category rank of 11,500, admission to Computer Science and Engineering via CSAB special rounds at NITs or IIIT is effectively closed, as even the most remote campuses’ SC?category CSE cutoffs lie well within the 40,000–60,000 rank band. GFTIs likewise do not offer SC?category CSE seats beyond a 100,000 rank threshold, making CSAB counselling unviable for CSE. A BITSAT score of 199 places your son in a rank bracket above 32,000, below the typical CSE cutoffs for all BITS campuses, thus precluding admission there as well. Consequently, the most reliable pathway is through private engineering colleges that maintain robust CSE programmes, strong accreditations, modern infrastructure, active industry linkages and consistent placement records.

Among northern India’s private universities, reputed options for CSE include J.C. Bose University of Science & Technology (YMCA UST) Faridabad, Jaypee Institute of Information Technology Noida, Galgotias University Greater Noida, and Chandigarh University. These institutions offer accredited CSE curricula, specialized AI/ML and software labs, dedicated placement cells with 80–95% three-year placement consistency, and extensive corporate partnerships. Their eligibility via JEE Main and institutional entrance tests makes them attainable and ensures quality education and strong career prospects.

Recommendation:
Since CSAB and BITSAT options for CSE are not practical, focus on applying to the CSE program at Manipal Campus (if an MQ Seat is available), YMCA Faridabad, JIIT Noida, Galgotias University, and Chandigarh University because they have a good mix of accreditation, facilities, experienced teachers, industry connections, and successful job placements. Ensure timely completion of each institute’s admission processes and consider scholarship and hostel options to optimize both academic experience and return on investment. Ensure you include several of your state’s leading private engineering colleges as backup options for admission with your JEE score. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Which branch and college do he get with this ranking by csab .is chans of getting chemical engineering and civil engineering at Bits campus goa and hyderabad with Bits score 199.?

Ans: With an SC?category rank of 11 500 in JEE Main, admission into core engineering branches at most NITs and IIITs through CSAB Special Rounds is feasible under the (SC) quota, as 2024 SC?closing ranks for Chemical and Civil Engineering at several NITs (e.g., NIT Surathkal Chemical SC at 18 485, Civil SC at 24 363; NIT Puducherry Chemical SC at 70 409; Civil SC at 82 277) all exceed 11 500. Thus, your SC rank comfortably falls within the cutoff band for Chemical and Civil across tier-2 NITs and many GFTIs.

A BITSAT score of 199, however, corresponds to a rank bracket (~32 000+) below the usual Chemical and Civil cutoffs at BITS Goa (Chemical 239; Civil 238 out of 390) and BITS Hyderabad (Chemical 238; Civil 235), making admission to Chemical or Civil at both Goa and Hyderabad campuses unlikely.

Recommendation: Given your SC rank, pursue CSAB counselling for Chemical or Civil Engineering in NITs under the SC quota, and explore allied branches at GFTIs as backup. With a BITSAT score of 199, focus instead on securing a reserved?quota NIT seat rather than expecting BITS Goa/Hyderabad admission.
