Yes, but only in private colleges through management quota, based on Class 12 marks, without needing WBJEE. Colleges like IEM, Heritage, Techno India, and Adamas offer this option.

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, JEE Main is not required to get admission in BTech at Rajalakshmi Engineering College. Admissions under the government quota rely primarily on Class 12 marks through TNEA counseling. However, JEE Main scores may be considered for admission.

Yes, most Coimbatore colleges, including PSG Tech, Karunya, and Kumaraguru, primarily admit students through TNEA counselling, which is based on Class 12 merit rather than JEE Main. JEE Main is mainly relevant if you're targeting government institutes like NITs. So a strong Class 12 score alone can

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.
