Hello student,

With an AEEE rank of 18,500, securing ECE at Amrita Chennai through the Centralized Seat Allotment Process (CSAP) might be challenging, but not impossible.

While closing ranks for ECE at the Chennai campus are typically lower (within 6,000-14,000 for Coimbatore and Bengaluru), there's a chance with other campuses or even related branches.

It's recommended to actively participate in the CSAP, explore all campus and branch preferences, and consider related branches for a higher probability of admission.
