Computer Science and Engineering

Direct second-year admissions in Computer Engineering at Walchand Institute of Technology (WIT) usually cut off with an MHT CET percentile ranging from 90.38 to 91.66 as per recently concluded admission rounds. Like all direct second-year entries, candidates are admitted based on a diploma in engineering or an equivalent qualification. 

It is still advisable to be up-to-date with the official website or contact the admissions office in case you want to know specific cutoff information and other requirements during the year of your application.

If your MHT CET score of 81% satisfies the year cutoff requirements you have a decent chance of being admitted to MIT World Peace University (MIT WPU) B.Tech CSE (Artificial Intelligence and Data Science) program. MHT CET or JEE Main scores are used to determine admission to the program. Every year the precise cutoffs could change based on variables including competitiveness and ticket availability. At MIT WPU the entire cost of the B.Tech program is about INR 13.20 lakh. High-achieving students can also apply for scholarships depending on their MHT CET percentile.

A score of 150 on the CUSAT CAT may not be enough for an outsider to be admitted to the Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT) Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) programme under the general category. Since there are fewer seats available in the public pool the cutoff for non-Keralite students is typically higher. The general category cutoff for CSE in recent years varied from 705 to 1651 contingent on several criteria such as the volume of applications and available seats.

With a 23k rank in AEEE, you may have a chance to get admission to Computer Science Engineering (CSE) at Amrita Amravati, though it could depend on factors like your home state and the branch-specific cutoffs. For instance, last year the cutoff for CSE at various Amrita campuses ranged from a percentile of 90-99 for home state students and 95-99.5 for other state students.

Based on your CUET scores and 12th board marks, some government institutions offering B.Tech in CSE with AI include:

1. Shri Mata Vaishno Devi University - Offers Computer Science & Engineering, including AI and other specializations. Eligibility requires a minimum of 50% marks in 12th with Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry.

2. Madan Mohan Malaviya University of Technology - Provides various engineering disciplines, including Computer Science and Engineering. Minimum 60% in 12th with relevant subjects.

3. Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University - Offers B.Tech in several disciplines, including Computer Science, with AI electives.

With a COMEDK rank of 45,203, your chances of securing a seat in top engineering colleges in Karnataka like RV College of Engineering or BMS College of Engineering for the CSE branch are slim, as these colleges have much lower cutoff ranks for CSE.

Medicaps University is slightly better known for its newer infrastructure and higher placement packages (3-6 Lacs INR) for CSE students. Acropolis Institute offers similar academic programs but with slightly older infrastructure and lower average salary packages. Both have comparable fee structures (50K-1.5 Lacs INR), but Medicaps generally has a better reputation for CSE. You can consider Medicaps if infrastructure and placements are a priority.

You do not need to take the Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) in order to pursue a B.E. in Computer Science Engineering (CSE). In Karnataka a large number of private engineering institutions admit students based on management quota, COMEDK, JEE Main, and other admission tests. Via these tests or the management quota prestigious universities like RV College of Engineering BMS College of Engineering and PES University provide direct admission. Nonetheless, public institutions and government-aided institutes frequently choose the KCET route.
