Exam

Yes — the IBSAT cutoff does change every year.

 Why the IBSAT Cutoff Varies

• Exam Difficulty: If the paper is tougher, the cutoff percentile may be lower; if easier, higher.
• Number of Applicants: More applicants competing for limited seats can push the cutoff up.
• Seat Availability: Each ICFAI Business School campus has different intake capacity, which affects campus‑wise cutoffs.
• Past Placement Trends: Campuses with stronger placements (like IBS Hyderabad) usually have higher cutoffs compared to smaller campuses.

 Typical Cutoff Range

• IBS Hyderabad: 70–75 percentile (the highest among IBS campuses).
• IBS Mumbai, Gurgaon, Pune, Bangalore: 65–70 percentile.
• Other campuses (Dehradun, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Kolkata): 55–65 percentile.

For GD Goenka University B.Com admissions via the GATA exam (2026), the deadlines are structured in multiple phases to give students flexibility:

 GATA 2026 Deadlines for B.Com Admission

• Phase 2 Deadline: 31 May 2026 (exam in early June).
• Phase 3 Deadline: 30 June 2026 (exam in July).
• Correction Window: Open until the respective phase deadline for GATA applicants.
• Result Declaration: Within 7–10 days of each exam phase.

 Key Points

• Mode of Exam: Computer-based test (CBT).
• Selection Process: GATA score + Personal Interview.
• Eligibility: 10+2 with minimum 50% marks.
• Scholarships: Merit-based scholarships up to 100% for high scorers in GATA or CUET UG.
• Backup Route: Students can also apply via CUET UG 2026 if they prefer.

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.

 With a JEE Main 2026 SC category rank of 5,340, you are in a very strong position for Computer Science (CSE) at several top and mid-tier NITs. Let's break it down:

 High-Probability NITs for CSE (SC Category, Rank ~5,300)

• NIT Raipur (Chhattisgarh) – CSE cutoff ~6,000–7,000 (SC)
• NIT Jamshedpur (Jharkhand) – CSE cutoff ~5,500–6,500 (SC)
• NIT Patna (Bihar) – CSE cutoff ~6,000–7,000 (SC)
• NIT Kurukshetra (Haryana) – CSE cutoff ~5,500–6,500 (SC)
• NIT Durgapur (West Bengal) – CSE cutoff ~5,500–6,500 (SC)
• NIT Hamirpur (HP) – CSE cutoff ~6,000–7,000 (SC)

 Borderline Chances (may depend on JoSAA rounds)

• MNNIT Allahabad (UP) – CSE cutoff ~4,500–5,200 (SC) → borderline, but possible in later rounds.
• NIT Rourkela (Odisha) – CSE cutoff ~4,800–5,200 (SC) → borderline.
• NIT Nagpur (VNIT) – CSE cutoff ~5,000–5,300 (SC) → very close, keep as priority.

 Difficult (but try in JoSAA + CSAB)

• Top NITs (Trichy, Warangal, Surathkal, Calicut, Jaipur) – SC CSE cutoff usually ~2,000–4,000 → unlikely at 5,340.
• Still worth filling in choices, as CSAB special rounds sometimes open unexpected seats.

With a JEE Main rank of 425,701 (Female, EWS, Home State MP), here's how your situation looks for CSE admission at UIT RGPV (Bhopal) and other options:

 UIT RGPV (Bhopal)

• Home State + Female + EWS quota works strongly in your favor.
• UIT RGPV admits students with ranks up to 4–5 lakh under HS/EWS categories.
• So yes, CSE at UIT RGPV is possible for you.

 Other Options in Madhya Pradesh

• Other Government Engineering Colleges (via MP DTE counseling):
  • Jabalpur Engineering College (JEC)
  • Indore Institute of Science & Technology
  • Ujjain Engineering College
• These colleges also take students with ranks in the 3–5 Lacs range under HS/EWS.

 Backup Choices

• Private Universities in MP: LNCT Bhopal, Oriental University, Prestige Institute – easier admission, strong placement in IT.
• CSAB Special Rounds: Sometimes newer NITs (like NIT Sikkim, NIT Agartala, NIT Mizoram) open up seats for higher ranks, but CSE chances are slim at your rank.

 Advice

• Definitely lock UIT RGPV CSE as your first choice in MP DTE counseling.
• Keep other MP government colleges + private universities as backup.
• Don't rely on NITs/IIITs with this rank, but CSAB can be a last attempt.
