Is it possible to get a Govt college with CSE or ECE with a rank of 5087 in wbjee I am a general candidate.....

Ans: Rajesh, With a WBJEE rank of 30,150 in 2025, securing a Computer Science and Engineering seat in any West Bengal government engineering college under the General Home State quota is highly unlikely. The most accessible government CSE programs close well below 10,000: Government College of Engineering and Textile Technology (Serampore) closed at rank 4,665 for CSE in the last round, Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College at 1,747, and Ramkrishna Mahato Government Engineering College at 6,261. Kalyani Government Engineering College’s CSE intake under open quota closed between 1,280 and 1,611 in past rounds, while Cooch Behar GEC closed at 6,398. Even reserved-category cutoffs in these institutions do not extend to ranks as high as 30,150 for CSE. Alternative branches like Information Technology at some mid-tier government colleges have historically accepted closing ranks around 19,000 for open quota, yet still fall significantly short of 30,150. Hence, options remain limited to private or self-financed institutions where closing ranks for CSE/IT can extend beyond 30,000, especially under the General category.

Recommendation: Target reputable private or self-financed colleges offering CSE or allied IT programs with closing ranks near 30,000 and explore state quota seats in specialized branches such as Computer Applications or Cyber Security, where broader rank ranges improve admission chances. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Ashish, With a WBJEE rank of 10500 as a non-domicile candidate, your admission prospects in government engineering colleges for CSE or ECE branches face significant limitations due to West Bengal's domicile requirements. Government colleges including Kalyani Government Engineering College, Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College, and others mandate domicile certificates for all seats, making them inaccessible to non-domicile students. Jadavpur University reserves only 10% seats under All India quota for non-domicile candidates, but their CSE cutoff closes at rank 52-57 and ECE at rank 226-400, making admission impossible with rank 10500. Your realistic options lie primarily within private engineering colleges participating in WBJEE counselling, where ECE admission appears more feasible than CSE given the competitive nature of computer science programs.

Private colleges under WBJEE accepting non-domicile students with rank 10500 include Heritage Institute of Technology (ECE cutoff 9000-12000), Techno India Salt Lake (ECE cutoff 11000-15000), Calcutta Institute of Engineering & Management (cutoff range 10000-18000), RCC Institute of Information Technology (cutoff 12000-16000), JIS College of Engineering (cutoff 10000-15000), Narula Institute of Technology (cutoff 11000-17000), Camellia Institute of Technology (cutoff 12000-18000), Brainware Group of Institutions (cutoff 8000-14000), Swami Vivekananda Institute (cutoff 10000-16000), and various university colleges with similar ranges. ECE branches show better admission probability compared to CSE in these institutions, with later counselling rounds potentially offering additional opportunities in core engineering branches like Electrical, Mechanical, and Civil Engineering.

Recommendation: Focus on private engineering colleges for ECE admission, participate in all counselling rounds, and consider core engineering branches as viable alternatives to maximize admission chances within your rank range. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
