It is highly unlikely that a state level common entrance test and JEE advanced exam would take place on the same day because JEE advanced is a national Level Examination typically conducted on a specific date while CET Exam are state specific and their dates vary while JEE advanced itself consist of two paper conducted on the same day the schedule of a state level CET is independent of national exam like advance JEE advanced though there might be instance of overlap or close proximity in scheduling

With a 16000 rank in JOSAA under the OBC NCL category you have a good chance of securing a seat in various National Institute of Technology Indian Institute of Information Technology and government fund date Technical Institute all the your preferred branch might required some flexibility

To get admission through KEAM (CET), you need to get  qualifying marks 240/600  (General category). It's a good idea to target 550+ marks for better chances in top engineering colleges. Usually students at 550+ marks obtain a rank less than 5,000. Higher marks certainly improve your chances of placing your fav branches and colleges during KEAM counselling.

If your JEE Main CRL is 11,71,873 and SC rank is 1,08,482, then sorry—but BIT Sindri is out of reach. Their SC cutoffs for BTech usually close way earlier, like somewhere between 3k–5L depending on the branch. So unless you're into miracles, it's best to explore other private or state colleges where your rank still holds value.

Yep, if you've scored 80% or more in your Class 12, IFTM University's got your back. You're eligible for their merit-based scholarship, which could give you up to 50% off on your BTech tuition fees. It's all part of their effort to reward hardworking students. Just make sure you apply within the official deadlines and keep an eye on how many seats are under the scholarship quota—they can go fast.

Honestly, it's gonna be super tough. With a 93 percentile and 1.02 Lacs CRL, grabbing a CSE seat at MBM Jodhpur is very unlikely, even under the OBC category. CSE cutoffs are wild—usually closing way earlier, often around 30k CRL or less. OBC does help, but competition is real. You might get something in lower-demand branches, though. Keep an eye on spot rounds or consider CSE in private/state colleges with good placements.

CSE's super competitive, but if your JEE rank's between 30–40k, you still have solid colleges that give good bang for your buck. Look at IIIT Nagpur, IIIT Pune, or NIT Jalandhar for related branches. IIEST Shibpur also has good placements. If you've got home state advantage, even NIT Trichy or MNIT Jaipur might work out (for circuit branches). Focus on colleges that offer solid CTCs and low fees; basically, best ROI vibes.

Alright, with a JEE Mains rank around 1.7 Lacs in the general category, NITs or top IIITs might not be realistic unless it's a super low-demand branch + home state quota. But don't stress, you still have good options. Think state government engineering colleges, Sant Longowal Institute, or Dr. B R Ambedkar NIT Jalandhar (for lesser-popular branches). Explore state-level counselling too, some states have solid gov colleges with more seats and slightly relaxed cutoffs.

Considering the number of registered and appeared candidates, here are the most popular GATE paper codes in the GATE history -

It's not possible on just the basis of  your 12th board results.

You should have 60% in 12th and must appear for atleast one entrance exam like Kcet Comedk or Jee main.

Even for management seat you must appear for one of these exams but here ranking doesn't matter under this quota.
