How Can I Secure a CSE Seat in the Ring Road Campus with a PESSAT Rank of 780?
Regarding your question, you have a reasonable chance of securing a Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) seat at the Ring Road campus after the first round of counseling, especially if students decide to leave their seats for JEE (Joint Entrance Examination).
Chance in Second Round of Counseling
With a PESSAT rank of 780, it is highly probable that you will secure a CSE seat in the second round of counseling at the Ring Road campus. Many students often leave their seats for JEE, and if you manage to secure a spot in this round, your chances greatly increase. It is advised to register for the second round counseling immediately as seats can fill quickly.
Uncertainty and Last Year's Data
There is an element of uncertainty due to the current situation and the absence of JEE mains results. Last year, the cutoff for the Ring Road campus was around 800. However, the cutoff has been reducing numerically each year, making it slightly more challenging to secure a seat in the first round with your rank.
Nonetheless, your rank of 780 is competitive. Even if you do not secure a seat in the first round, you have a good chance of getting a CSE seat in the second round. This is because many higher-ranked students may not be interested in pursuing CSE, and the CSE department has increased its seats to accommodate a larger number of students.
Other Campus Options
If you are not successful in securing a CSE seat at the Ring Road campus, there is a strong possibility of getting a seat at the Electronic City campus. The placement opportunities for both campuses are the same, and if you are willing to consider other departments, the Ring Road campus offers a guaranteed spot in the Electronics and Communications Engineering (ECE) program.
Final Tips for Success
It is advisable to stay patient and follow these steps:
Register for both the first and second rounds of counseling. Keep an eye on any last-minute openings or transfers. Prepare for JEE in case you secure a seat in the second round and wish to leave your CSE seat. Stay informed about any changes in the counseling process or cut-off trends.Wishing you the best of luck as you navigate through this process.
