NIE, MIT, RVCE, etc. are good colleges.

You can’t get admission in a top college with this rank. If you are from SC or ST category, you can get admission in a good college but not the top ones.

Manipal Institute of Technology is the best option for lateral entry BTech Mechanical Engineering in Karnataka.

Both the branches have great prospects in Karnataka, and in India too.
