Hello Student,

Due to the increasing competition it is important to score higher rank to get into the topo universities. But even with the reservation or any quota like home state quota, the chances of getting into a top university such as BITS are a bit low. Hence, unfortunately the top nits and IITs also would be tough to get into with a low score. Also other Centrally Funded Technical Institutes ( CFTIs) such as the IIITs also would be a bit tough. There might be some chances of you getting into newer NITs such as NIT Andhra Pradesh or NIT Pondicherry into courses that are relatively lesser in demand such as metallurgy.

I suggest you to apply for state colleges or any other private institutions and wait for the second round of counselling alone as it would be a bit risky. There are pretty many good private institutions where you can apply, write the entrance test and get through.

To be on the safer side I would advise you to apply to other colleges as well for taking the courses of your choice.

Some of the universities are:

1. Ssn college in chennai

2. Amrita institution in coimbatore

3. Psg college of engineering in coimbatore

4, cbit college in Hyderabad

5. Vasavi college

6. Sastra deemed to be a university in thanjavur
