Answer laterSir I got a rank of 4066 in keam engineering 2019.Will I get RIT Kottayam for CS in 4th allotment.l belong to EZ category.
Hi Nithya! If we look at the previous year closing rank of CSE in RIT then odds are in your favour.In 2018, the closing rank for CSE in RIT, Kottayam was 5592 for EZ category. Going by this I can say that you do have a fair chance of getting a seat if and only if vacant seats are available. Having said that, I will also say that the cutoffs vary every year depending on the number of candidates, their rank, the number of seats available, etc.

Hi Candidate,
I suggest you to prefer Vidyalankar institute of technology over Rajiv Gandhi institute of technology. It has an impressive rating of 4.3/5. The infrastructure is said to be one of the best in Mumbai with Labs and Libraries properly maintained. Coming to placements their objective is to not only provide 100% placements but also good jobs for the students. Many top companies visit the campus with good packages especially for CSE and EEE. All the best. Hope you take the right decision.
