With a GMR 37,664 and SC rank 4,118, your admission chances depend mainly on the GMR (General Merit Rank) during WBJEE counselling, because the published opening/closing ranks are generally reported in GMR even for reserved-category seats.
The good news is that since you're open to core branches (Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, Production, Metallurgy, etc.), you have a realistic chance of getting a government engineering college in later rounds or the mop-up round. Government colleges in West Bengal often have much higher closing ranks for core branches than for CSE/IT.
Some government colleges you should definitely include in your choice filling:
-
Jalpaiguri Government Engineering College
-
Kalyani Government Engineering College
-
Ramkrishna Mahato Government Engineering College
-
Government College of Engineering and Textile Technology, Berhampore
-
Cooch Behar Government Engineering College
-
Alipurduar Government Engineering and Management College
For branches, prioritize:
-
Electrical Engineering
-
Mechanical Engineering
-
Civil Engineering
-
Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering
-
Production Engineering
-
Metallurgical Engineering
-
Power Engineering
-
Other core branches
I would not expect CSE/IT in top government colleges at your rank, but core branches are much more achievable. Recent cutoff data shows government-college core branches extending well beyond the ranks needed for CSE.
My assessment:
-
Government college: Possible, especially in core branches.
-
Top colleges like Jadavpur University or CSE at KGEC/JGEC: Very unlikely.
-
Core branches at mid-tier government colleges: Reasonable chance.
-
Mop-up/spot rounds: Very important for you; don't skip them.
If you are a West Bengal domicile candidate and are willing to study anywhere in West Bengal, I can prepare a detailed WBJEE choice-filling list in the exact order you should enter colleges and branches during counselling.
