hi,

With a rank of 173,000 in JEE Main, getting admission to Computer Science Engineering (CSE) in top government colleges like NITs or IIITs will be very tough. Usually, CSE seats in these colleges close much earlier, with ranks going up to around 30,000 or 40,000. But don’t worry, you can still look at private engineering colleges, many of which offer CSE and have more flexible admission criteria.

You can also check state-level colleges and counselling where cutoffs might be lower. If you’re open to related branches like Information Technology, Electronics, or Electrical Engineering, you might find more options. It’s important to participate in all counselling rounds because sometimes seats remain vacant in later rounds, giving you a chance.

Hello there,

With a rank of 173,000 for Computer Science Engineering, getting admission in top or even many good government colleges will be very difficult. However, you can consider the following options:

  • Look for private engineering colleges that accept ranks in this range.

  • Explore state-level private universities or deemed universities with lower cutoff ranks.

  • Consider open or distance learning programs related to computer science.

  • Check if colleges offer lateral entry or management quota seats.

Your options will mainly be private or less competitive colleges. It is important to verify the college’s accreditation and placement records before admission.
