Colleges in Chandigarh

IIT is not the only way forward. You can always succeed from nowhere. But IIT helps you grow as an individual. If that is what you really want, drop a year. I personally feel, it is difficult to concentrate and getting through JEE after joining an engineering programme but there are people who have done it earlier. My personal advice would be to drop in case you are that desperate. You need to look at the cost of wasting a year in case you get complacent again. Looking at the other side of it if you get into CU you will mostly get complacent and continue with what you got than going after the bigger dream.
All the best.

Hello Dear,
You have scored very well in your category. But it will be difficult for you to get admission any government dental college for BDS. You need 400+.

Hello Dear,
You have very less chance of getting government medical college under All India Quota Counselling. However, you are expected to get an MBBS seat in government or private under the state quota.

Dear Meghana Devi,
Yes, it is possible to get admission in government medical college under 15% quota, because most students are not interested in studying in other states (like north-south or south-north). Let's hope for the best.

Hello Dear,
It is less predictable that you'll get admission into any government medical colleges at this score. However, you can try for private medical colleges in your state.

Hello Dear,
It is difficult to get admission into government medical colleges with ST category of 2900. You can get a seat easily in private. Do attend the counselling.

Chandigarh University has good placement record with the highest package received - 24 LPA. Average salary package is 3- 4 LPA for 2016 for BE CSE course.
But all these depend on your skills only. So if you are talented you can bag even more good packages.

I think Chandigarh University would be the best choice for B.Tech in mechanical.
There you will get more exposure and opportunity.
Also, faculty members are the Ph.D holders of IITs and NITs.
