i got 500000 rank in jee mains 2025 amd i belong to obc catagory can i get admission in pmec berhampur

Hello Karan,

With a JEE Main 2025 All India Rank (AIR) of 500,000 and belonging to the OBC category , securing admission to Parala Maharaja Engineering College (PMEC), Berhampur through JEE Main is highly unlikely .

Why Admission to PMEC is Unlikely:

• PMEC primarily admits students through the Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE) and JEE Main ranks.
  
  

• For Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) , the expected JEE Main cutoff rank is between 200,000 and 210,000 .
  
  

• For Electrical Engineering , the closing ranks are typically under 250,000 for the OBC category.
  
  

1. Apply through OJEE : If you're from Odisha, consider applying through the OJEE, as PMEC also admits students via this examination.
   
   

2. Explore Private Engineering Colleges : Look into private engineering colleges in Odisha or neighboring states that accept higher JEE Main ranks or offer direct admissions.
   
   

3. Consider Other Engineering Branches : While CSE and Electrical Engineering are competitive, other branches like Mechanical or Civil Engineering may have higher cutoff ranks, increasing your chances of admission.
   
   

4. Lateral Entry after Diploma : If you pursue a diploma in engineering, you can consider lateral entry into B.Tech programs, which often have different admission criteria.

It's important to research each alternative thoroughly and consider factors like course offerings, campus facilities, placement records, and tuition fees before making a decision.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
