 Key Advice

• Government polytechnics are best for low fees + stable placements in core engineering.
• Private universities offer better exposure in IT/CS but at higher fees.
• Always check AICTE approval and placement records before applying.
• Admission is usually through state-level entrance exams (JEECUP, Andhra Pradesh POLYCET, TS POLYCET, Maharashtra CAP).

With an 89.7 percentile in JEE Mains and Delhi Home State quota, you have realistic chances at Delhi-based state government engineering colleges (DTU, NSUT, IGDTUW, IIIT Delhi) in non-core branches, but admission to top branches like CSE/ECE at these institutions will be difficult. You may also secure seats in GFTIs and some NITs under the Delhi quota in lower-demand branches. 

 Admission Chances with 89.7 Percentile (Delhi Quota)

1. Delhi State Government Colleges

• Delhi Technological University (DTU)
  • Likely branches: Civil, Mechanical, Environmental, Production Engineering.
  • CSE/ECE cutoff usually >97 percentile, so unlikely.
• Netaji Subhas University of Technology (NSUT)
  • Possible branches: Manufacturing, Bio-Technology, Instrumentation.
  • CSE/IT/ECE require >96 percentile.
• Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical University for Women (IGDTUW)
  • For female candidates, admission possible in Mechanical/IT at ~89–91 percentile.
• IIIT Delhi
  • Admission is based on percentile + board marks. At 89.7, non-core branches (like ECE or CS+Design) may be borderline.

2. NITs (via Delhi Quota)

• With 89.7 percentile, rank ~1.2–1.4 Lacs (Gen category).
• NIT Delhi (Home State quota):
  • Possible branches: Mechanical, Civil, Electrical.
  • CSE cutoff ~95+ percentile, so not feasible.
• Other NITs (outside Delhi quota):
  • Seats possible in lower-demand branches at NITs in North-East (NIT Agartala, NIT Mizoram, NIT Nagaland).

3. Government-Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs)

• IIIT Una, IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Kurnool – admission possible in IT/ECE.
• GFTIs like Assam University, Gurukul Kangri Haridwar – admission possible in core branches.

 Comparison Table

 Key Considerations

• Cutoff for JEE Advanced 2026 (Gen category): 93.41 percentile – you are below this, so IITs are not an option. 
• Delhi Home State quota is highly competitive most CSE/ECE seats close above 95 percentile.
• Safer options: Apply through JoSAA + Delhi State Counseling (DTU/NSUT/IGDTUW/IIIT Delhi).
• Backup plan: Private universities in Delhi NCR (Amity, Sharda, Galgotias) accept 70–80 percentile and offer CSE/AI/ML branches.

Action Plan for You

1. Register for JoSAA counseling (for NITs/IIITs/GFTIs).
2. Apply for Delhi State Counseling separately for DTU, NSUT, IGDTUW, IIIT Delhi.
3. Keep private universities as backup for CSE/AI/ML if core branches don't appeal.

With 90 percentile in JEE Main (OBC-NCL, Female, Home State MP), your chances for B.Tech CSE are quite realistic in MBM Engineering College, Jodhpur (Rajasthan) and other state/NIT options. Let's break it down:

 MBM Engineering College (Jodhpur)

• Admission Route: Rajasthan REAP counseling (based on JEE percentile + category quota).
• Cutoff Trends: For CSE (OBC-NCL, Female), closing percentiles are usually around 88–92.
• Your Position: At 90 percentile, you are right in the safe zone for CSE at MBM under Home State + Female quota.

 Other Colleges You Can Target

• NIT Bhopal (MANIT) – CSE cutoff for OBC-NCL is ~95–97 percentile → tough at 90.
• NITs in North-East (Silchar, Agartala, Mizoram, Sikkim, Srinagar) – CSE cutoffs for OBC-NCL go down to ~88–91 percentile → possible.
• State Government Colleges (MP & Rajasthan) – UIT RGPV Bhopal, JEC Jabalpur, MBM Jodhpur, MNIT Jaipur (other branches more likely than CSE).
• Private Universities (backup) – VIT, SRM, Manipal, LNCT Bhopal, JECRC Jaipur → direct admission possible for CSE.

 Strategy

1. REAP Counseling – Prioritize MBM Jodhpur CSE as your top choice.
2. JoSAA Counseling – Fill newer NITs (Silchar, Agartala, Mizoram, Sikkim, Srinagar) for CSE.
3. CSAB Special Rounds – Sometimes open up CSE seats in mid-tier NITs at lower percentiles.
4. Backup – Keep private universities in MP/Rajasthan as safety options.

For direct admission into DCRUST, Sonepat (Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram University of Science and Technology) B.Tech Mechanical Engineering as a Diploma holder, you need to apply through the Lateral Entry route. Here's how it works:

 Admission Pathway for Diploma Holders

• Eligibility:
  • Must have completed a 3-year Diploma in Engineering (Mechanical or related branch).
  • Minimum marks: 45% (General/EWS), 40% (SC/ST/OBC).
• Mode of Admission:
  • Through HSTES (Haryana State Technical Education Society) Lateral Entry Counseling.
  • Admission is into 2nd year (3rd semester) of B.Tech directly.
• Application Process:
  • Register on the HSTES official portal when counseling opens.
  • Fill choices (select DCRUST Mechanical Engineering).
  • Seat allotment is based on Diploma marks merit list.
• Documents Required:
  • Diploma mark sheets & certificate
  • 10th certificate
  • Caste/EWS certificate (if applicable)
  • Residence proof (for Home State quota)
  • Migration/Transfer certificate

 Practical Advice

• You cannot get direct admission without counseling DCRUST strictly follows HSTES rules.
• If you want to skip counseling, only private colleges in Haryana may offer direct admission based on Diploma marks.
• For DCRUST, you must apply via HSTES Lateral Entry and list Mechanical Engineering as your first preference.
