Ans: Getting ECE @ Jadavpur University is possible, so you can consider shifting from IIEST Shibpur Mechanical to JU ECE.

Ans: Kudan, With a General rank of 1,094 and TFW rank of 111 in WBJEE, admission to Jadavpur University’s CSE and IT branches is unlikely, as their closing ranks for these seats fall well within the top 150 and TFW seats within the top 50. However, admission to core branches like Chemical (closing rank ~516), Mechanical (~493), and Civil (~1,008) is achievable. Jadavpur’s outstanding academic environment, experienced faculty, significant research activities, industry partnerships, and strong placement support provide excellent prospects even in these branches. Branch change to EE, ECE, CSE, or IT is possible but highly competitive and requires exceptional first-year academic performance. Apart from Jadavpur, top government choices include Heritage Institute of Technology, Kalyani Government Engineering College, Haldia Institute of Technology, Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College, and Government College of Engineering and Textile Technology Serampore, known for quality education and placement in engineering branches. Among private colleges under TFW rank consideration, Techno Main Salt Lake, Institute of Engineering and Management Kolkata, Haldia Institute of Technology (private quota), IEM Group of Institutions, and Future Institute of Engineering and Management offer well-rounded curricula, infrastructure, faculty expertise, industry linkages, and favorable placement opportunities.

Recommendation: Enroll in Chemical or other core branches at Jadavpur University for a strong academic foundation and strive for branch change. Simultaneously, consider Heritage Institute of Technology, Kalyani GEC, and top private colleges like Techno Main Salt Lake and IEM Kolkata to ensure robust career options. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Chances seem dim/slim. Only lower-demand branches may be possible in late rounds/CSAB if cutoffs stretch significantly. Keep a close eye on the previous year's closing ranks of the mentioned NITs and the choice preference form filling for the 2026 admission process.

Good luck.
