With an AUEET 2025 rank of 2472 (General category), it is very unlikely that you will get CSE in Andhra University. In 2024, the closing rank for CSE was around 454 and approximately 1722 in 2023.

You can be certain to get admission from branches furnishing lower (higher rank) cutoffs such as Information Technology (IT) (cutoff ~4003) or Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE) (cutoff ~1561), since they always get filled much higher ranks.

Your CUET-UG score is 161 and getting admission in B.Tech CSE in CIT (Chandigarh or Coimbatore Institute of Technology) is impossible, as basically CSE cutoffs for general category must not fall below 145-160 (above ~190+ marks). However, admit card cut-offs will be lower for other less popular Engineering branches like ECE or it may also possible in later spot rounds of counselling in state quota or alternative category wise. For one academic year data, please validate CIT Admission Portal or their counselling releases.

With a JEE Main rank of 90k one can count on colleges like J.C. Bose University (YMCA), Faridabad, DCRUST, Murthal, Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology (Delhi) through JOSAA/State counselling that are located in Haryana, Gurugram or Noida. These government/semi-government colleges will have CSE at a very low fee (?40K–?80K/year). You should also check out HSTES counselling in Haryana, which will consider every low fee option under these schemes where your fees will be extremely low due to OBC/EWS quotas.

Calculus is a very important part of the BTech CSE entrance exam syllabus, with a lot of focus on complex mathematical concepts that are foundational for the CSE field in general. Top BTech CSE colleges keep a heavy portion of the exam syllabus to calculus which surely improves your reasoning and analytical skills. 

The JEE Main syllabus is not sufficient for BTech CSE admission. Though it covers PCM concepts from Class 11 and 12, along with logical reasoning and quantitative aptitude, which are definitely included in the syllabus of other entrance tests, it is always better to check the detailed exam syllabus of other national/state/university exams for BTech CSE.

The top IITs need JEE Advanced scores for admission, and various other colleges take into account scores of state-level/college-level exams. So, you must keep the backup window open without relying solely on one exam where the competition is too high.

Well, the exact number of reference books for each subject in the BTech CSE syllabus cannot be said with any certainty, it is recommended to have not more than 2 resourceful books per subject. It is better to prioritize core concepts and search for well-regarded reference books for the same.

Computer Science Engineering Courses

Computer Science engineering (CSE) is considered as the most sought - after branch considered to Electronicals and computer engineering (ECM) and then Electronics and communication engineering (ECE).

While all these branches are good for career prospects, But mostly CSE is consistently choosed over the ECM and ECE.

If you're passionate about coding, software development or data related fields CSE is the best option.

If you're passionate about electric circuits and hardware design ECE is the best option.

If you're passionate about both software and hardware particularly in embedded systems and IoT the ECM is best option.
