Engineering Entrance Exam

Yes, without appearing for the JEE Main you can get admission to the Siksha O Anusandhan (SOA) University, Bhubaneswar. You can get admitted to the SOA as the institution administers own entrance exam, SAAT (Siksha O Anusandhan Admission Test). Tere are also other entrance exams like national and state -level admission tests OJEE and you can also get a management quota seat.

JEE Main is a national-level test accepted by many BTech-offering colleges, including DY Patil University Navi Mumbai. The JEE Main Session 2 exam is conducted in Apr. However, this is as per past records and the actual exam date can vary.

Students who get a rank in between 1-10000 in TNEA have a good chance of getting admission in best engineering schools. The college of Engineering, Anna University, Chennai, PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore, SSN College of engineering, Chennai and Thiagarajar college of engineering, Madurai accepts admission to rank 1-10000 in TNEA.

To get admission in any college through JEE Mains, 75% is required in 12th boards, which you have not. There are some good colleges which do not have 75% criteria like IIIT Hyderabad, BITS PILANI (with good BITSAT score), VJTI MUMBAI etc., but these colleges demand a good score in JEE Mains. From my side, I would suggest that you try for a minimum of 85+ percentile score in the second attempt and get admission in a good state government college. If you can spend INR 15 to 20 lacs in 4 years, then you can also go to a good private college. Try to get a college in the city area where you can get exposure.

The minimum GATE score to get admission to IIT Bombay for M.Tech can depend on the branch applying for. However, the expected minimum GATE score (on the basis of past year cutoff trends) is 710 to 750+. This is the cutoff score for top branches like CSE, and ME. It can vary for differet subjects/branches. 

For B.Tech Computer Science at Jaipur Engineering College & Research Centre (JECRC), the expected JEE Main EWS cutoff percentile ranges between 85 to 89.9 for merit scholarships, and above 90 for higher merit scholarships. 

JEE Main Percentile for Merit Scholarships:

• 85 to 89.9: Merit Scholarship 
• Above 90: Merit Scholarship
