Hello,

You have a moderate chance of being accepted into NIT Patna's Electrical Engineering program if you applied under the EWS category and the Bihar state quota and scored in the 93th percentile of JEE Main 2025. This branch's EWS category closing ranks in prior years were quite near to your anticipated rank. Cutoffs, seat availability, and competition in your category all affect your chances of getting in. During JoSAA counselling, it is advised to rank NIT Patna's Electrical Engineering as a top choice. To increase your chances of admission, keep backup options in comparable NITs and think about related fields like instrumentation or EEE.
All the best.

61 percentile in JEE Mains

Hello there,

With a GATE Electrical Engineering (EE) score of 630, getting admission to the M.Tech program in Instrumentation and Integrated Electronics at IIT Kharagpur is unlikely.

Key points:

• The closing GATE score for this program in 2024 was around 608 for the general category.

• For reserved categories, cutoffs are lower (OBC around 573, SC around 337, ST around 248).

• Admission depends on GATE score and sometimes an interview.

Recommendations:

• You can consider applying to other IITs or NITs where your score may meet the cutoff for similar courses.

• Explore other reputed institutes offering M.Tech in Instrumentation and Electronics.

• If this field is important for you, consider preparing to improve your GATE score for the next attempt.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Diploma in EEE is eligible for lateral entry (direct 2nd year) in some colleges.

• Some colleges accepting lateral entry:

  • Hindustan University, Chennai

  • MIT-WPU, Pune

  • LPU

  • Amrita University

  • Manipal University

• Aerospace Engineering Colleges in India – Careers360

• Apply with Diploma Marks or Entrance Rank.

• Attend Counseling / Admission Rounds.

• Join in 2nd Year of B.Tech Aerospace.

Finishing a diploma in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, you can opt for a course in Aerospace Engineering.

You can consider lateral entry: Many engineering colleges give students who have a diploma the option to enter the 2nd year straight in a similar B.Tech program. Learn whether the college takes in students for Aerospace Engineering using lateral entry.

If you wish to join Aerospace Engineering but it isn’t offered as a lateral entry, try joining either Mechanical or Electrical Engineering and move to Aerospace Engineering later.

You can be required to attend an entrance exam such as the state’s lateral entry test or a counseling session based on the marks you receive in your diploma.

You might look into private universities: They often let diploma holders be more flexible about starting in courses connected to aerospace.

If you cannot start with aerospace engineering lateral entry, you can apply after your bachelor’s degree in a related field.

Hello there,

With a CRL rank of 2,08,000, OBC category rank of 71,000, and both Home State and Green Card quotas, your chances of getting EE, EEE, or ETC at VSSUT Burla are low but not entirely impossible.

In previous years, closing ranks for these branches under Home State quota have usually been below 1,35,000 in CRL. Your CRL rank is higher than this, so direct admission in the first few rounds is unlikely.

However, since you have Green Card and OBC reservation under the Odisha state quota, you may have a chance in later rounds or spot rounds, depending on seat vacancies and cut-off movement.

You should still apply and participate in all counseling rounds. Be prepared with documents and consider backup options in other state engineering colleges too.

Admission is uncertain for EE/EEE/ETC, but you can still try, especially in the final or spot rounds.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
