I got 96% in 12th telengana board and 126080(91.5%ile) rank in jee main and 51k rank In vit, 18k rank in TS EAPCET, should I apply for JOSAA COUNSELLING, I'm interested in taking CSE or CSE WITH SPECIALIZATIONS,or should I join the colleges I get with my 18k rank in EAPCET?
Ans: Harshit, Based on your JEE Main rank (126,080) and TS EAMCET rank (18,000), securing core CSE via JoSAA counselling is unlikely, as 2024 NIT/IIIT CSE cutoffs for General category closed below 50,000 ranks (e.g., NIT Goa CSE: 34,858; IIIT Guwahati CSE: 13,242). However, your TS EAMCET rank positions you for CSE in mid-tier Telangana colleges like JNTUH Sultanpur (cutoff ~10,400–12,200) or CMR Institute of Technology (~9,500–12,000), which offer 70–80% placement rates with recruiters like TCS, Infosys, and Wipro. While VITEEE rank 51,000 may secure CSE specializations (AI/ML, Cyber Security) at VIT Bhopal/AP under Category 4/5, these campuses have lower brand equity compared to Telangana’s state colleges. Prioritize TS EAMCET options for better regional industry connections and affordability, but retain VIT-AP’s CSE specializations as a backup if fee escalation (~?4.5 lakh/year) is manageable. Avoid JoSAA unless targeting non-CSE branches in NITs/IIITs. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
