Engineering Entrance Exam

The lateral entry (2nd year) entrance exam syllabus at MIT? Manipal for B.Tech 2025 includes:

.Diploma-specific first-year engineering subjects relevant to your branch. Sections also cover:

.Mathematics: differential equations, linear algebra, probability, vector calculus

.General English: vocabulary, grammar, comprehension

.General Knowledge/Current Affairs

It's an MCQ? based test focusing on diploma? level engineering concepts and core first-year topics

The TNEA (Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions) counselling process for getting admission into Kingston Engineering College is soley based on merit, which is determined by class 12 marks and there is no separate exam for the admission process. The TNEA 2025 rank list was released on June 27, 2025. The General Counselling Round 1 choice filling took place from July 14 to 16, 2025, while Choice Filling Round 3, designated for specific rank holders, is scheduled from August 7 to 9, 2025.

Look for the state government colleges or some regional colleges like NEHU, SMVDU, Central University Jammu. Specifically look for branches like ME, CE or BT in these since in these colleges too CSE, ECE have way higher cutoff. And also look for maximus reservation you can get.

A JEE Main rank of 500091 and 66 percentile, along with 64.8% marks in Class 12, it is highly unlikely to get admission into a government college or GFTI (Government Funded Technical Institute) in Uttar Pradesh or anywhere in India through JoSAA counselling. Most GFTIs, NITs, and IIITs have cutoffs that close at much higher percentiles, typically above 85–90 percentile for reserved categories and even higher for general candidates.

The JEE Main 2026 syllabus remains unchanged from the 2025 structure: it includes all topics from the NCERT Class 11 and 12 curriculum in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics for Paper 1 (B.E./B.Tech.); and for Paper?2A (B.Arch.) and Paper 2B (B.Planning) it covers Mathematics, General Aptitude, plus drawing or planning-based sections as applicable.

CSE and AI & DS are most competitive — need ranks roughly below 30,000 for early admission.ECE and IT also require good ranks but allow more flexibility (final cutoff nearly 100,000).EEE, and especially Civil, are more accessible—candidates with ranks up to 150,000–185,000 may still get a seat in later rounds.

There are more than 1,400 colleges for studying the BTech in AI and ML course in India, out of which around 420 colleges accept the JEE Main exam scores for admission. Top colleges like the IITs and NITs strictly ask for JEE Main and JEE Advanced scores for admission to the course. The competition is quite high here because of the demand of the field in the job market, so you should work very hard to score excellent marks and rank to grab a seat at a top college for AI and ML. 

In Vnit With The perentile of 82.6 Percentile in JEE Mains The overall rank should be 2.5-3 Lakhs.

But the cut offs are not meeting with your percentile you must have to improove your rankings next time 

1. Computer Science & Engineering closes around 600–1400

2. Electronics & Communication Engineering around 1500–1800

3. Electrical Engineering around 1800–2200

4. Mechanical Engineering around 2500–3000

Even Mining, Chemical, and Civil Engineering branch cutoffs remain in the 3000–4000+ range 

73 Percentile in SC Category in JEE Mains your rank can be estimated between AIR 270K-297K

You can easily land in NIT And GFTIs, State Goverment university and Private universities.

Example Universities can be : 

NIT Pudcherry -Civil, ECE, EEE, MECHANICAL

NIT Silchar - CIVIL Engineering 

NIT Kurukshetra - Mechanical engineering
