Hello Aspirant,

With a GATE 2025 score of 352 and OBC rank 21421 in CSE it can be probable for M.Tech in CSE or AI at JNTUA (Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Anantapur). In the initial rounds it can be challenging as the cutoffs for CSE/AI are usually high, core branches tend to have low cutoffs relative to all other branches and will only get higher in general rounds. If your only applying for CSE and AI only, you might have a foot in the door with later rounds or spot admissions to fill vacancies from those rejected in the initial rounds or those that declined the offer, if they have not confirmed their seats. Again, keep an eye on either CCMT or on at the university level counselling, soon enough it will be quite an academic year!

With a GATE 2025 rank of 21421 and a score of 352 in the Computer Science stream, and if you belong to the OBC category, it is a little difficult to get admission into M.Tech in Artificial Intelligence or Computer Science Engineering at JNTU Anantapur (JNTUA).

In previous years, students from the OBC category got seats in CSE at JNTUA only if their GATE rank was around 14000 to 20000. Your rank is slightly above that, so your chances are low, but not impossible. It depends on how many students apply this year, how many OBC seats are available, and the difficulty level of the exam.

If you want to try other options, you can also apply through AP PGECET. The cutoffs there are different and sometimes easier to get.

So, your chance for CSE or AI at JNTUA is low but still possible if cutoffs change. It’s good to apply, and also keep backup options.

Sorry, but with your GATE marks of 352 and rank of 21421, it's very unlikely that you will get admission to JNTUA. Because the cutoff in M.Tech AI or CSE is very high in JNTUA, so your rank is not enough even with your OBC category.

But you can still explore other popular and good colleges like NITs, IIITs, and GIFTs to get your preferred department in this rank.

If JNTUA is a preferred college, then you can choose other departments that offer lower cutoffs.

Also, you can prepare for other entrance exams like AP ECET and TS ECET to get admission to colleges in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.

I hope it resolves your query!!

Hello,

With a GATE 2025 score of 352 and rank 21421 in CS (OBC category), it is quite difficult to get M.Tech in AI or CSE at JNTUA . These branches usually have high cutoffs , especially for top colleges like JNTUA.

You may try for other specialisations or lower preferred colleges . Also, consider applying through state counselling or spot rounds , where chances might improve.
