This has a very high difficulty for gaining admission into a CS branch in government colleges with an AIR 390,256 and EWS rank of 59,719 in JEE Mains, which would be very tough at premier NITs and IIITs whose cut-offs are pretty high in such cases for CS though there remain scopes, and that are State Government Engineering Colleges.
Most of the state government engineering colleges hold some seats in reserve for students of the same state. So the prospects of getting a seat are relatively brighter for people who fall under any specific state.
State Entrance Exams: A few states conduct entrance exams, and those are student intakes specifically under the department of engineering. So, of course, preparation for that type of exam would boost chances of getting a seat in one of the CS departments.
Private Engineering Colleges with Government Seats
Private Institutions: Some private engineering colleges provide seats under the government quota. Cut-offs can be relatively lesser as compared to NITs and IIITs. Look for such colleges in your state or in the neighboring states.
Alternative branches and colleges:
Similar Branches: If it is not possible to get a seat in CS, then it is possible to opt for other similar branches, such as IT or ECE, which will have slightly lesser cut-offs.
Lower-tier NITs or IIITs:* Some NITs or IIITs have higher cut-offs for CS, but other branches have a lower cut-off. Looking at these options may have a better chance of admission.
*Next Steps:*
1. Counseling Processes in States: Each state has varied counseling processes and cut-offs. To get the process and dates of cut-offs, visit the official websites of state technical education boards.
2. Check Cut-Off Trends: The cut-offs differ year after year for various reasons, such as the number of applicants and the difficulty level. Official sources must be followed for constant updates with the latest cut-off details.
3. Management Quota seats are available in some private colleges with diverse kinds of eligibility and fee structures.
4. Counseling Preparations: All the needed documentation must be prepared; rounds of counseling can be maximized up to many to be selected from any one of them.
Conclusion:
You may not get a CS seat in the top government colleges with your present ranks. You can try state government colleges, private institutions having government quotas, and related branches. Continue active in researching and participation in various counseling processes for getting better chances of admissions.
