    Have a question related to JGEC Jalpaiguri ?

    If i score 65 marks in wbjee then can i take admission in JGEC in CSE Branch?

    Based on the previous year's WBJEE cutoff ranks for the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) branch at Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College (JGEC), scoring 65 marks might make it challenging but not entirely impossible to secure a seat.

    Looking at the 2024 cutoff data, the closing ranks for the General category (Home State) in the three rounds of counselling for CSE were quite low, ranging from 1747 to 2157 . These ranks typically correspond to significantly higher marks than 65 in the WBJEE.

    However, the actual rank you secure with 65 marks in WBJEE 2025 will be crucial. The marks vs. rank correlation can vary each year depending on the overall performance of the candidates and the difficulty level of the exam. Generally, a score of 60-79 in WBJEE tends to correspond to a rank somewhere in the range of 15,750 to 16,250 based on some estimations.

    Given this estimated rank range, admission to the CSE branch at JGEC, which typically closes within the top few thousand ranks for the general category, appears difficult.

    Therefore, while getting a CSE seat at JGEC with 65 marks in the general category seems difficult based on past trends, your category and performance relative to others will be the deciding factors. You should aim to score as high as possible in WBJEE 2025 and then check the official cutoff ranks released by WBJEEB after the results. Keep an eye on the counselling process and participate in all relevant rounds.

    Can a person whose JEE mains ST category rank is 42620 get JGEC (Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College) ?

    Eligibility Based on Rank

    • Your ST category rank is 42620 .

    • This rank is considered very high for getting admission into JGEC under the ST category .

    JGEC ST Category Cutoffs (Previous Years)

    • In previous years, the closing ST ranks for JGEC have usually been between 8000 to 12000 .

    • The rank varies depending on the branch (like CSE, ECE, MECH) and the round (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc).

    • Your rank is way beyond these cutoffs, making direct admission through JoSAA counselling unlikely.

    State Quota vs. Other State Quota

    • If you are from West Bengal , you may get slight advantage through Home State Quota .

    • Even then, the cutoff is rarely beyond 15000 in ST category.

    • If you are from another state, chances get even lower as Other State quota cutoffs are stricter.

    Alternative Opportunities

    • You can try for CSAB Special Rounds after JoSAA.

    • Sometimes, seats remain vacant in less popular branches and might be available in CSAB.

    • You can also explore private colleges or state-level engineering colleges where ST category reservation is applicable.

    Important Tips

    • Do not rely only on JGEC. Keep other options open.

    • Explore all rounds of JoSAA and register for CSAB .

    • Use official websites like josaa.nic.in and csab.nic.in for real-time updates.

    • Prepare documents and apply to other colleges as backup.

    • Check if your rank is valid in your home state counselling .

    Well in 1st round of counselling I got Nsec , cse branch my rank is 11K , shall I join it or wait for other rounds for higher preference like IEM , Heritage, Techno main saltlake, Kgec , Jgec , in all I gave cse/IT/ece preference????

    Hello,

    To get a clearer picture, let us consider both the cases :

    • Joining NSEC Now:

      • You have secured a seat in CSE, which is a preferred branch.
      • If you are okay with NSEC's reputation, placements, and facilities, it can be a safe option.
    • Waiting for Other Rounds:

      • You may get a chance in higher preference colleges with better reputations and placement records.
      • There is a risk involved; if you wait and don't get a better option, you might miss out on NSEC as well.

    Now based on your situation, my recommendations are :-

    • Research Thoroughly: Look at the latest placement records, campus facilities, and faculty of NSEC and compare them with your higher preference colleges.
    • Counselling Trends: Check previous years' counselling trends to gauge the likelihood of getting a seat in the next rounds at your preferred colleges.
    • Consult with Seniors/Alumni: Talk to current students or alumni of NSEC and your preferred colleges to get a real-world perspective on academics, placements, and campus life.

    Based on your research and personal preferences, make an informed decision. If you are confident about getting a seat in one of your higher preference colleges in the next rounds, it might be worth waiting. Otherwise, securing a seat in CSE at NSEC could be a prudent choice.

    Best of luck!
