Computer Science and Engineering

You can only hope to get this college in spot round. Else, no.

Stream changing option will be open for all students after completion of 1 year of their academic session not after 1st semester.
So keep your grades good in college and maintain GPA of 9+.

Sorry but 70 marks are too low to get you any college in Maharashtra.
So it is advisable for you to keep trying contact private colleges/university for direct admission on basis of 12 score.

Yes, you have a good chance to get into an IIIT or CFTI. Go, for your desired engineering stream.
Good luck.

The chances are very slim as you are from grneral category. However you may get branch like EE,civil there.
All the best!!

Getting NIT with this rank seems difficult. But you must try your luck till spot round counselling because there might be a seat available in some low rank NIT. And yes do try for IIIT, you will get one with this rank.

Of course NIT's are better as they are government institutions. Thapar University and VIT Vellore are private institutions. No doubt they have a good reputation specially VIT Vellore but I would suggest to go for NIT Jalandhar.

Hello Lokesh,
To pursue CSE from Thapar University, you need to score more than 150 marks in JEE Mains.

No, you need to qualify for UPSEE. There are no mangaement quota from year 2017 as per AKTU guidelines.
If you have qualified UPSEE you must contact college officials and proceed for your admission .
Also , you can get admission through counseling of AKTU through JEE Mains.

Hi Atul, obviously, VIT Vellore is the better one than KIIT, Odisha in terms of placements , especially for computer science engineering.
VIT is also better in placement for all the courses than KIIT.
All the best!
