For 88 marks how much ranking can I secure and what type of colleges I have good chance in with fees

Although 88 is a good score but it depends  on the exam which you are appearing and ranking depends on the overall performance and cut off trends. If you're talking about the state level entrance exams or board exams, both have Different calculation methods and as you have asked about the colleges you can possibly get some government colleges if the cut offs allows you and as per fees government colleges are usually more affordable than the private ones it would range from 5000 to 20,000 per year and In private colleges it can vary. some private colleges start around 40,000 and depending on the courses and the ranking and reputations. I would suggest you to check the scholarship options that should be based on merit and financial needs

Hi pradeep,

Generally, if you score 88 marks in a GATE exam (or other national level competitive exams), you can expect to be ranked around 1000-2500 depending on the paper and difficulty level in a given year. With this score, you stand a good chance of getting admission in a reputed NIT (like NIT Trichy, NIT Surathkal, or NIT Warangal) in core, or inter-departmental branches. You may also get IIITs, or newer IITs for less competitive branches or specialization.

For the fees chargeable in government institutions like NITs & IIITs normally range from 70,000 to 1.2 lakhs per annum. Also, you will have the chance of availing scholarships or stipends (like GATE stipend 12,400/month) if you get admission through GATE. However, exact rank and cut off varies yearly, I recommend checking previous year cut-offs on official CCMT / COAP portals for better guidance.
