Amrita School of Engineering, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham - Bengaluru Campus

The cutoff for Amrita School of Engineering depends on several factors, including the campus, programme chosen, and admission criteria used (JEE Main, KEAM, AEEE). Therefore, there isn't a single place to check all cutoffs at once. Here's how to find the relevant cutoff for your situation:

1. Identify the campus and program:

First, determine which Amrita School of Engineering campus you're interested in (e.g., Coimbatore, Bengaluru, Chennai). Then, choose the specific B.Tech programme you're targeting (e.g., Computer Science, Electronics and Communication).

2. Determine the relevant admission criteria:

There are three main ways to get admission into Amrita B.Tech programs:

• JEE Main: If you used JEE Main for admission, check the closing ranks for your desired programme in the previous year's JoSAA counseling rounds. You can find this information on the JoSAA website

• KEAM: If you're applying from Kerala, the cutoff will be based on your KEAM rank. Look for the last rank admitted for your chosen programme in the previous year's KEAM counseling rounds. The KEAM official website will have this information:

• AEEE: If you applied through the Amrita Entrance Examination Engineering (AEEE), check the cutoff marks or ranks released by Amrita University for the previous year on their admissions website

The seat intake for B.Tech at Amrita School of Engineering varies depending on the campus and the specific programme you're interested in. However, here's a general overview:

B.Tech placements at Amrita School of Engineering are generally considered strong, with several positive aspects to highlight:

• High Placement Rates: Across campuses, Amrita boasts an impressive 90% or higher placement rate for graduating B.Tech students. This means the vast majority of students secure employment positions before finishing their studies.
• Top Recruiters: The placement record features renowned companies like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Wipro, Infosys, Dell, Bosch, and Infosys, indicating good industry recognition and opportunities for diverse career paths

The entrance exam scores Amrita School of Engineering accept for admission to M.Tech are as follows:

• Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE): This is the most widely accepted exam for M.Tech admissions in India. A good GATE score is highly recommended for securing admission to top M.Tech programs at Amrita.
• Test of Postgraduate Studies in Commerce (TANCET): This exam is specifically for M.Tech programs in Management Studies offered by Amrita campuses in Coimbatore and Bengaluru.
• Postgraduate Common Entrance Test (PGCET): Some state-level PGCETs,  like PGCET Karnataka,  may be accepted for specific M.Tech programs at Amrita campuses within that state.
• Amrita Engineering Entrance Examination (AEEE): This is Amrita's own university-level entrance exam for B.Tech and M.Tech programs. While primarily for B.Tech,  scores from AEEE can also be considered for some M.Tech programs,  particularly for non-GATE applicants.
• Postgraduate Engineering Common Entrance Test (PGECET): This is another university-level exam conducted by some private universities,  and scores may be accepted for specific M.Tech programs at Amrita campuses depending on the programme and university conducting PGECET

• You must have secured a minimum aggregate score of 60% or CGPA 6.0 in your qualifying degree (B.E./B.Tech./MCA/M.Sc.) in Engineering or a relevant Science discipline from a recognised university.
• Most M.Tech programs rely on scores in national entrance exams like GATE, TANCET, PGCET, or PGECET for selection.
• Each programme has its own cut-off scores for these exams,  which can vary from year to year depending on the number of applicants and available seats.
• Meeting the minimum cut-off doesn't guarantee admission,  as other factors like entrance exam rank and academic performance may also be considered

While 60% in Class 12th fulfills the minimum eligibility requirement for Amrita School of Engineering's B.Tech programme based on marks, it's unlikely to guarantee admission for several reasons: Admission primarily relies on entrance exams: Amrita uses JEE Main or Amrita Engineering Entrance Examination (AEEE) scores as the primary criteria for B.Tech admission. A good score (typically above 90 percentile for JEE Main or rank within 10,000 for AEEE) is crucial for securing a seat. High competition for popular programs: Programs like Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) have intense competition, attracting applicants with much higher Class 12th marks and entrance exam scores.
