Sir my son secured 21000 ranking in kcet which College may he get in ece. And EcE or mechanical which one is good

Ans: With a KCET rank of 21 000 (General-All India), admission into Electronics & Communication Engineering is guaranteed at a range of reputable Karnataka institutes whose last-round ECE closing ranks exceed your rank. These colleges have departments that are recognized for quality, modern ECE labs (like VLSI, embedded systems, and signal processing), active job placement support with a 70–90% success rate in placing students over the last three years, strong connections with industries, and good campus facilities. Fifteen such institutions where your son will certainly secure ECE admission are:
MVJ College of Engineering, Bangalore; Sir M. Visvesvaraya Institute of Technology, Bangalore; Reva University, Bangalore; Acharya Institute of Technology, Bangalore; RNS Institute of Technology, Bangalore; BNM Institute of Technology, Bangalore; Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology, Bangalore; BMS Institute of Technology & Management, Yelahanka; East West Institute of Technology, Bangalore; CMR Institute of Technology, Bangalore; New Horizon College of Engineering, Bangalore; JSS Science and Technology University, Mysore; Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering, Bangalore; RV College of Engineering Off-Campus (ECE electives), Bangalore; and Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Bangalore.

Electronics & Communication and Mechanical Engineering have some important similarities, like having the right accreditations, labs, job placement help, knowledgeable teachers, and connections with companies, but they focus on different subjects (like VLSI and signal processing for Electronics & Communication and thermodynamics and CAD/CAM for Mechanical Engineering), have different job markets (telecom/IoT for Electronics & Communication and automotive/manufacturing for Mechanical Engineering), require different skills, offer different research chances, and attract different employers. Both are excellent branches; selection hinges on your son’s interest in circuit/communication systems or mechanical design/manufacturing and his long-term career goals.

Recommendation: Encourage your son to pursue ECE if he enjoys electronics, IoT, and embedded systems; opt for Mechanical if he prefers core design, manufacturing, and automotive sectors. Align the choice with his passion and envisioned professional trajectory. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Can I get into some top 15 nits or top 7 iiits with 27903 obc rank 87903 crl rank for ece branch
Ans: With an OBC rank of 27,903 and a CRL rank of 87,903 for the ECE branch, securing a seat in the top 15 NITs or top 7 IIITs through JoSAA in 2025 is extremely unlikely. Recent cutoff trends indicate that the closing OBC ranks for Electronics and Communication Engineering at the premier NITs—such as Trichy, Warangal, Surathkal, Allahabad, Calicut, Rourkela, and Jaipur—are typically below 6,000 to 10,000, while even lower-tier NITs usually close below 13,000–17,000 for this branch. Similarly, for the top IIITs (Allahabad, Gwalior, Delhi, Jabalpur, Kancheepuram, Bangalore, Bhubaneswar), ECE cutoffs for OBC rarely exceed 11,000, and most close below 9,500, reflecting substantial competition and high applicant quality. Seat conversion for higher OBC ranks generally occurs only in newer or less sought-after NITs/IIITs or in special spot rounds, not at established top-tier institutes. Institutional excellence, industry partnerships, faculty profile, campus resources, and placement support in these institutions are closely tied to high entry cutoff ranks.

Recommendation: Focus on exploring newer NITs or IIITs, GFTIs, or state-level colleges where your OBC rank stands a realistic chance, as admission to ECE in top 15 NITs or top 7 IIITs for 2025 is statistically improbable; consider parallel options to maximize your academic and career opportunities. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
