Hello there,

With a 62% score in CHSE and an 80 percentile in JEE Main, you have a moderate chance of securing admission to Veer Surendra Sai University of Technology (VSSUT), Burla, particularly under the Odisha state quota.

Eligibility Criteria:

• Educational Qualification : Candidates must have passed 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
  
  

• Minimum Marks : A minimum of 45% marks in aggregate is required for general category candidates; for reserved categories, the requirement is 40%.
  
  

• Entrance Exam : Admission is primarily based on JEE Main scores through OJEE counseling.
  
  Admission Chances:

An 80 percentile in JEE Main corresponds to an approximate All India Rank (AIR) of 2,00,000 to 2,50,000. Based on previous years' data, candidates with similar ranks have secured seats in branches like:

• Chemical Engineering

• Metallurgical and Materials Engineering

• Production Engineering

• Civil Engineering

However, securing core branches like Computer Science or Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering may be challenging with this percentile.

Recommendations:

• Counseling Participation : Actively participate in OJEE counseling and consider all available options.
  
  

• Branch Flexibility : Be open to enrolling in less competitive branches, as internal branch changes may be possible later based on academic performance.
  
  

• Alternative Options : Explore other reputable engineering colleges in Odisha that accept JEE Main scores, such as:

  • Silicon Institute of Technology, Bhubaneswar

  • C.V. Raman Global University

  • Gandhi Institute for Technological Advancement (GITA)

These institutions offer quality education and may have more flexible cutoff criteria.
