paid predictor, whether i go nit or iiit and cbit Hyderabad mains score 16064 crl 2190 EWS female Telangana , TS eamcet rank 1448 please suggest
1st Sep, 2022
Hello Prabhu !!
First of all congratulations for your great ranks in JEE and TS EAEMCET. You can get into wonderful college with decent branches.
Getting into the context you could easily get CBIT CSE or VNR CSE or JNTUH CSE or OU CSE by your rank in TS EAMCET.
But, these are tier 3 colleges and have comparatively lower standards on comparing with NITs and IITs.
With your rank in JEE mains you could get the following
- EEE in NIT Warangal
- CSE in NIT Raipur
- ECE in MNIT Bhopal
- EEE in VNIT Nagpur
- Chemical Engineering in NIT Trichy
These are the best choices you have. As a student I suggest you to go for EEE in NITW. The placements, infrastructure, academics and everything in this college is superb. Taking EEE in NITW is worth it.
ALL THE VERY BEST :)

I got a rank of 11453 in TS EAMCET, is there a chance I can get JNTU kukatpally CSE in second counseling?
29th Aug, 2022
Hello,
Congratulations for scoring such a good rank, but unfortunately you can't get a seat in cse branch of JNTU college, as the previous year cutoffs are closed around 2.5-3.5k till the 2nd round, so you have no chances of getting cse branch. But you can try for another branch like civil, chemical, biotechnology, electronic and telecommunications, etc. You have some chances of getting thi branches in JNTU.
