With 82 marks and a rank of 522, you’ve secured IT at BIT Durg as your fifth priority in the first round, which is a solid start. Now, for the second round, you can still aim for AI (Artificial Intelligence) or Data Science at the same college if there are seats left.

Log in to the counselling portal, update your priority list by placing AI or Data Science above IT—think of IT as a fallback option. The system will try to upgrade your seat if seats are available in those preferred branches when allotment occurs. If AI or Data Science seats are already full, you will retain your current IT seat in BIT Durg.

Since your rank is strong, you have a good shot at an upgrade—especially if those specialized branches have more seats or fewer applicants. Make sure you participate in all rounds, keep your priorities smartly ordered, and check the allotment results closely after second-round seat release.

There is high possibilities of getting into AI or data science courses in the second round of counselling if you didn't get a i and data science courses you can still have your IT course in Durg if you need another update you need to look at there website

With a rank of 1229 in OBC category, getting CSE at BIT Durg is unlikely as past cutoffs were much lower. However, the IT branch at BIT Durg is good with decent placements and can be a good alternative.

Hello Aspirant,

With a 489 rank in CG PET 2025 under the General category you have a very good chance of getting CSE at BIT Durg. Historically CSE has closed at about 700-800 under General category, so you will be well within the typical cutoff range.
Electrical Engineering at BIT Durg is also a good branch. The department has good faculty and labs. While placements in core EE are not as many compared to CSE, many EE students got good placement in IT/software roles on campus. If you have an interest in electronics, power systems or want to prepare for competitive exams like GATE or PSU jobs then EE is a good option.
