If your cutoff is 153, you have a fair chance of getting Mechanical Engineering, especially in some GFTIs, state government colleges, or private engineering colleges. It may be tough in top NITs or IITs, but in colleges with higher closing ranks or less competition, it’s possible. Your chances also depend on your category, home state, and quota like defense. Keep Mechanical as one of your options during counselling and explore similar branches too. Use tools like college predictors to know where you stand, and stay open to other good colleges that offer strong placements and faculty in core branches.
