With a 71 percentile in JEE Main and belonging to the SC category , your chances of securing admission to Computer Science (CS) or Information Technology (IT) at the University of Mumbai are limited.

• The qualifying cutoff for SC candidates in JEE Main 2024 was approximately 60.09 percentile .
• For B.Tech in Computer Engineering, the closing ranks for SC candidates in 2024 ranged from ~14,000 to ~19,000 across various affiliated colleges.

• Consider applying for branches with higher closing ranks, such as Mechanical or Civil Engineering.

• Look into private engineering colleges in Mumbai that accept JEE Main scores and have more flexible cutoff criteria.

• Participate in Maharashtra's state-level engineering entrance exams (e.g., MHT CET) for better opportunities.

For more  information , you can refer to the official website: Mumbai University Admissions (https://mu.ac.in/) .

With a KCET 2025 score of 116 (approximately 64.4% ), your estimated rank would be around 6,000–7,000 .

Given your estimated rank of 6,000–7,000 , securing a seat in Computer Science Engineering at JSS Science and Technology University (formerly SJCE) Mysore may be challenging.

• Consider branches with higher closing ranks
• Explore private institutions in Karnataka.

With an EAMCET rank of 95,000 in the BCE (Backward Classes E) category, securing a seat in Computer Science Engineering (CSE) at Lords Institute of Engineering and Technology (LIET), Hyderabad is unlikely under the Convener (Category A) quota .

• Explore other institutions where your rank might be competitive for CSE or related branches.

• Ensure you participate in the counseling process to explore all available options.

HEY THERE!!

Which to Choose?

UPES is preferable if you desire better placement percentages, updated curriculum with specialisations, and greater international exposure. The highest and average packages are also slightly improved, and the university provides good industry relations and global options.

KIIT is also an excellent private university with a good reputation, good placements, and great campus life. If you like its campus culture or location, it's still a strong option.

In general, UPES has a marginal advantage in placements and industry interaction for Computer Science.

Select according to your preferences: location, charges, campus, and specializations.

With a 91.74 percentile and a rank of 122000 in JEE Mains 2025, as a female candidate, you may secure Computer Science in some reputed state-level or women-centric engineering colleges through home state or female quota.

HELLO,

The TNEA cutoff of 182.5 may be available for computer science programs in Tamil Nadu colleges but it depends on specific colleges , category and seat availability and  this cutoff is generally considered good for securing a seat in many engineering colleges especially for non computer science programs .

However getting into CS programs specially in highly top colleges like NITs can be more competitive at this rank

You can get other best engineering colleges less competitive than NITs but may not be enough to secure a seat in a top tier NIT CS program

Your category like General, Sc ,Obc or ST it will also affect the availability of seats and chances for the program and college you are applying to .
