With a JEE Main rank of 160,000 and being a general category candidate from Odisha, it's unlikely that you'll get Electrical Engineering (EE) at OUTR Bhubaneswar or Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) at IIIT Bhubaneswar. These branches are generally competitive and prefer candidates with better ranks, especially for the general category.

Here's why:

OUTR Bhubaneswar: Electrical Engineering (EE) is a popular branch and typically attracts candidates with high ranks. Your rank is relatively lower, so securing a seat might be difficult.

Alternatives and Considerations:

Lower-Ranked Branches:

B.Tech/B.Arch Admissions OPEN

Apply to Amrita University B.Tech 2026

You might be able to secure a seat in a less competitive branch at OUTR Bhubaneswar or IIIT Bhubaneswar.

State Quota vs. All India Quota:

You have the benefit of being an Odisha state domicile, which can give you an advantage through the state quota. However, the all-India quota is still highly competitive, and your rank might not be enough for the top branches.

Counselling and JoSAA/CSAB:

Attend JoSAA/CSAB counselling and carefully choose your college and branch options based on your rank and the cutoff ranks of previous years.

Other Colleges:

Use JEE predictor tool and Explore other state engineering colleges or IITs (if your JEE Main score allows) that are less competitive for your desired branch.Consider other Engineering Colleges You can also explore other engineering colleges in Odisha or nearby states.

Important Note: The actual chances of getting your desired branch depend on the final cutoff ranks of OUTR and IIIT Bhubaneswar for the 2025 admissions. The cutoff ranks can fluctuate based on the number of applicants, the performance of students, and the seat availability.
