Hello,

Since the first round of IIIT-H counselling has been declared. It is definitely the right time for asking this question. IIITH counselling happens in 4 different rounds. The demand for CS branch is traditionally high in IIIT Hyderabad due to its high packages and unique environment. As the first round closed in 573 rank.

Your rank is still around 300 above the cutoff for the first round. While the closing rank definitely goes down as further rounds continue and some other results get declared. Predicting further rounds is indeed difficult due to a changed ranking pattern of JEE this year. I won't give you false hopes though, your chance of getting CSE in IIITH moderate. We cannot exactly predict what happens in counselling but as seen from previous year trends the drop in marks is 15-20 until round 4 (in 2018 it dropped from 287 marks to 256 marks) . Thus, considering trends, the rank will come down around 850-900. It's possible, yet difficult if the closing rank will come further low. While you still have a bleak chance getting CSE but don't just hang on it.
