IEM Kolkata Alumni

Dear Ritham

Based on your information it seems challenging to secure admission to IEM Salt Lake with a JEE Main rank of 48177 in the OBC-NCL category for CSE or CSE specialization. Cutoffs for top institutions can be quite competitive, and it's important to check the specific cutoff ranks for the desired course and category.

Would you like help exploring other options or institutions that might be a good fit for your rank using College predictor

Thanks.

Hello,

To get a clearer picture, let us consider both the cases :

• Joining NSEC Now:

  • You have secured a seat in CSE, which is a preferred branch.
  • If you are okay with NSEC's reputation, placements, and facilities, it can be a safe option.

• Waiting for Other Rounds:

  • You may get a chance in higher preference colleges with better reputations and placement records.
  • There is a risk involved; if you wait and don't get a better option, you might miss out on NSEC as well.

Now based on your situation, my recommendations are :-

• Research Thoroughly: Look at the latest placement records, campus facilities, and faculty of NSEC and compare them with your higher preference colleges.
• Counselling Trends: Check previous years' counselling trends to gauge the likelihood of getting a seat in the next rounds at your preferred colleges.
• Consult with Seniors/Alumni: Talk to current students or alumni of NSEC and your preferred colleges to get a real-world perspective on academics, placements, and campus life.

Based on your research and personal preferences, make an informed decision. If you are confident about getting a seat in one of your higher preference colleges in the next rounds, it might be worth waiting. Otherwise, securing a seat in CSE at NSEC could be a prudent choice.

Best of luck!
