IIIT Kalyani Engineering and Architecture Courses & Fees 2025

You did your best in NEET, and it’s okay that you didn’t get a government seat this time. Since it was your first try, and if your heart still beats for becoming a doctor, and you’re ready to give one full focused year, then taking a drop is okay — but only if you’re 100% sure you’ll give it your everything, with no regrets. But if you also like coding or tech, then CSE at IIIT Kalyani is a really nice option too. IIITs are good, and CSE can give you a strong career, good placements, and even chances to go abroad or work at top companies. So just sit for a minute, think what excites you more — medicine or computers — and go with the one that makes you feel happy inside. Both paths are great, you just need to pick the one your heart really wants.

With a SC rank of 26,588 for IIIT Kalyani (West Bengal), your chance of admission in Cyber Security or Computer Science under the home state SC quota is quite slim. The number of reserved SC seats is typically taken by 20,000 or more (depending on the popular areas such as Cyber Security).

But do not despair:

Depending on the general SC quota may be one thin hope.

Check out supernumerary, or left over, seats, which occasionally become open following key rounds.

Look at other branches of the same quality or colleges with close towards IIIT having lower competitive cutoffs.

In case you are firm regarding the branch of IIIT Kalyani, you might as well appear in the spot rounds or open counselling.
