Yes you get CSE. You can prefer Poornima Institute of Engineering and Technology, Jaipur the best college for B.Tech as compared to other private colleges.

Hi madhu, It's good to dream big, but it needs a lot of hard work to achieve that, BIT, Mesra comes in the list of top most colleges in India and you need to score really well for that, so considering your marks your chances are nil for getting it. Prepare well for next year. All the best!

Hi, It depends on the rank. Kindly check previous year opening and closing rank of the college, it will give you an idea about the matter. All the best!

Hi Madhu, as you have scored only 70 so if your rank is less than 1 lakh then you'll get only BIT, Mesra if not then sorry to say you must try in any other college for B.Tech for CSE branch.
