With ece gate score 560 . Is it possible to get IIT Kanpur in VLSI

Hi Dear,
Sorry you have no chances to get IIT Kanpur for VLSI & for other IIT'S too.

My suggestion is to go for lower NIT'S but their also least chances at this score or go for next year & prepare your as much as you can.

Good luck!

There are well-furnished labs, classrooms and a library, and there is a free Wi-Fi connection in the college. The food provided by the mess is decent and in addition, the campus has various other refreshment outlets like Coffee Day Express.

Crack JEE Advanced and let's go!!!!
