Hey! With a JEE Main rank of around 1 lakh, you still have a good chance to get admission in several engineering colleges that provide quality education at a reasonable fee. For government colleges, you can aim for NITs or GFTIs in branches like Civil, Mechanical, or Chemical Engineering, as these usually have slightly higher closing ranks. For example, colleges like NIT Goa, NIT Puducherry, and NIT Srinagar might have seats available in certain branches.

Apart from NITs, state government engineering colleges are also a good option, especially under home state quota. They often have lower tuition fees and good faculty, so you can get a solid education without spending much.

If you are open to private colleges, there are options like VIT Vellore, KIIT Bhubaneswar, or Amity University that provide decent infrastructure and placements. However, the fees may be higher than government colleges.

My advice is to focus on branches that are less competitive, check all counseling rounds, and make use of state quotas if applicable. With proper planning, a rank of 1 lakh can still help you get a good college and start your engineering career success

fully.

No, you can’t use a previous year’s JEE rank for the current year’s WBJEE counselling. Only the JEE Main rank of the same admission year is valid along with that year’s WBJEE rank.

With a GMR 41869 and OBC-B rank 3689, admission to Architecture at Jadavpur University is quite difficult. JU cutoffs for B.Arch are usually very high, often closing within a few thousand ranks overall, and most seats go to top rankers. As for fees, JU is a government university, so it’s very affordable—around 2,500–5,000 per year, much cheaper than private colleges. You may get Architecture in some private or state colleges, but chances at JU with your rank are very low.

Hello Aspirant,

Securing a seat in a government engineering college in West Bengal with a GMR of 23375 is challenging. However, with your SC rank of 2117 , you have a strong chance. Based on previous years' cutoffs, this rank can get you into government colleges like Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College or Kalyani Government Engineering College , especially in branches like Civil, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering. You should participate in all counselling rounds.

Hey! With your GMR 20,724 and SC rank 1,810 in WBJEE 2025, you have a solid chance to get a seat in a government college under Home State quota. Generally, for SC category students, most government engineering colleges have closing ranks much higher than your rank, so you are well within the range. Colleges like University of Kalyani, Burdwan University, MAKAUT-affiliated colleges, and Jalpaiguri Govt Engineering College could be possible depending on branch preference. Make sure you participate in all rounds of counseling, because some seats may open up in later rounds. Also, fill your choices wisely—put your preferred colleges and branches in order. Keep all your documents ready for verification, and stay updated with the official counseling portal. If you plan carefully, you have a good shot at securing a government college seat, so don’t worry and stay focused during counseling.

With a WBJEE GMR rank of 81,823 and ST category rank of 662, getting admission to government colleges, especially for popular branches like CSE or ECE, is very unlikely because government colleges usually close ST category seats much earlier, often within a few thousand ranks. However, you might explore option in branches with higher cutoff ranks like Civil or Mechanical in some government colleges, but chances even there are low with that rank. Private colleges might offer better opportunities for your rank. So, getting a government college seat is quite tough with these ranks.

With a WBJEE PMR rank of 40,800 and TFW rank of 9,600, you may get TFW quota seats in some mid-level private engineering colleges for branches like Mechanical, Civil, ECE, or even CSE in certain colleges where cutoffs are higher. Good options could be colleges like Techno India Group, RCC Institute of Technology, or Camellia Institute, which usually have TFW seats at higher ranks. Keep an eye on counseling rounds, and apply broadly to maximize chances because competition in TFW quota is tough but flexible at these colleges.

With a KCET rank of 32,189 in 2A category and eligibility for SNQ quota (since your family income is less than 2.5 lakh), your chances of getting Computer Science (CS) branch at SDM Engineering College through SNQ quota are better compared to the general quota because SNQ quota seats are reserved for economically weaker sections. Whether you get a seat in round 2 through SNQ or general quota depends on seat availability and cutoff ranks in both quotas. Typically, candidates with your rank and income will be prioritized for SNQ seats, so your best bet is to choose SNQ quota in counseling to improve chances of CS admission. Keep monitoring opening and closing ranks for SNQ quota for SDM College during counseling rounds.

Hello,

With a WBJEE rank of 25,678, you have chances in some private engineering colleges for B.Tech CSE or EE within Rs. 4 lakh tuition fees (approx. Rs. 1 lakh per year).

Some suitable options are:

• Narula Institute of Technology, Agarpara – CSE possible, total fees around Rs. 3–3.5 lakh.

• Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata – CSE possible, fees around Rs. 4 lakh.

• Asansol Engineering College – CSE/IT possible, fees usually under Rs. 4 lakh.

• Adamas University – CSE/EE may be possible, but fees can go above Rs. 4 lakh, so confirm before applying.

Government colleges like KGEC or CGEC generally close below 10,000 rank, so not possible at your rank.

So, your best chances are Narula Institute of Technology, Heritage Institute of Technology, and Asansol Engineering College within Rs. 4 lakh budget.

Hope it helps !
