My wbjee rank gmr is 14,869 and my category Obc-A is 820 and Tfw rank 2980 .Will I get any government college with cse branch?

Ans: With a WBJEE General Merit Rank of 14,869, an OBC-A category rank of 820, and a TFW rank of 2980, admission into a government college for the competitive CSE branch appears highly improbable. Jadavpur University, the premier government institute, closes CSE admissions around an OBC-A rank of 250 and a general rank near 120, far below these ranks. Other government colleges like Kalyani Government Engineering College and Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College also have closing ranks for CSE and allied branches typically below 4000 in OBC categories, which is beyond the current rank thresholds. The TFW category for CSE in government colleges usually admits ranks better than 1500 to 2000. However, ranks in the current range can access reputed private colleges such as Heritage Institute of Technology with OBC-A CSE cutoffs around 11,000 to 13,500, Institute of Engineering & Management Kolkata with cutoffs near 8,500 to 11,000, and Techno India Salt Lake, where CSE cutoffs range between 14,000 and 17,000. Other private colleges like the Academy of Technology and B.P. Poddar Institute present opportunities in CSE and IT branches with fairly good placement, ranging from 70 to 85 percent over recent years. Some government colleges such as Ramkrishna Mahato Government Engineering College may offer admission in ECE or other branches with relatively less competitive cutoffs. The likelihood of obtaining a CSE seat in a government college is low, but strong chances exist in prestigious private institutions known for consistent placement performance. The best course of action is to prioritize private colleges for CSE admission while considering alternative branches in government colleges or preparing to improve ranks for future attempts to secure government college seats. This approach balances access to quality education and long-term career prospects effectively. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
