The rank needed for admission to the BTech course would depend on the course, round and branch you are applying for. For the General HS category, the Round 2 cutoff was 770798 for the BTech CSE course. So, this category students need a rank of at least 770798 to be considered eligible for admission.

No, I don't think you can get into B.Tech EEE at Ajay Kumar Garg Engineering College, Ghaziabad with JEE Main rank of 5,30,000 as General, non-UP domicile candidate. Typically, closing rank for EEE close much earlier around 3,00,00.

No, JEE Main has not been mentioned as an accepted entrance exam for BTech at GLA University.
Candidates who want to apply for BTech at this institute must appear in their own entrance exam called GLAET.
Admissions are based solely on scores obtained in this exam along with performance in PI rounds.
