Hello Aspirant,

With a rank in JEE Mains of roughly 3 lakh, securing CSE or IT in OUTR (Odisha University of Technology and Research) or VSSUT (Veer Surendra Sai University of Technology) in the general category would not be very feasible, as such branches are usually in demand and usually close early with much lesser ranks. But as you also have the state quota (Odisha) and the Ex-Serviceman quota, you do have a unique edge. Ex-Serviceman quota seats are fewer, but there is also less competition. Your fate hinges on:

1. Number of seats reserved for the quota that year.
2. Number of candidates applying under that quota.
3. Your category (GEN/OBC/SC/ST), since it can affect cutoff in addition.

You may have a hope in VSSUT, particularly in IT or in fresh/similar streams like ETC, as long as your quota is duly taken into account. Watch the state counselling cutoffs and be prepared for related branches or fresh colleges in Odisha as fall back.
