KIITEE

Hi Dear,
Domicile state is not taken into consideration for admission into KIIT. If you have secured a good rank, you can take admission.
All the best.

CS branch ends around 5000 rank nowadays but you can get an Electronics stream which is equally good. if you want CS you should score a good CGPA (marks) in your first year of engineering , after that you can opt for a branch change.Your marks should be above 9 pointer and if not you wont be a given chance to switch your branch,but i think that's not going to be a problem because Electronics stream would be equally good.

CSE branch is right now the most placed branch trending right now , even students from other branch are bound to go for IT and software companies because it has the highest placing companies

Taking one extra year generally does no good. If you have any chance in KIIT, then go for it. Never try to look back. If you wait one extra year to pursue JEE, you will be bored and most probably start hating studies. Just go ahead but be amongst the best.
All the best.

Your authenticity and the authenticity of your marksheets, certificates and other credentials will be verified. You will be offered stream as per availability and if u take admission, u need to pay some amount of seat booking fee. Go through the counselling notification carefully or have a talk to competent executive before going to attend. All the best.

25,626 isn't a very good rank but if they have called you for counseling you are expected to get Civil engineering.

In final year CS & IT sit for same company placements. IT is good branch to have from placement point of view.
