Hi Jagadeesh, the cutoff varies every year based on various factors, number of seats available, number of test takers, difficulty level of exams, merit list etc. However to go with the past records, an AIR of 10000-14000 can get a seat in JNTU Hyderabad for thermal engineering, with a score of around 400-500 out of 1000 scaled score. You should have a score of around 30+ i believe to score this scaled score and rank as cutoff. 

Hiii 

There are lot many factors that would decide the rank category,Date of exam, marks,exam slot so kindly refer the below link to try it

But you have scored good marks., .For IITs, your GATE score is near about to 800.

Here is the cut off trends of previous year for IITs

Hello  datish,

Below I've mentioned two good books for understanding the topic better:

• Introduction to thermal systems engineering, by Moran, Shapiro, Dewitt, Munson.

• Thermodynamics - An  engineering approach, by Cengel and Boles.

The topics like fundamentals of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics,classical macroscopic thermodynamics and heat transfer are covered well in these books.

Hope this helps and all the very best to you!

Dear Akhil,

For getting into such prestigious universities like osmania and jntuh in your interested branch ie., thermal engineering requires your rank to be around 250. So you must score a score of 75-80.All the best! 

Dear Venkatesh, the minimum required academic qualification for pursuing full time Ph.D in IIT Madras is enlisted here:  

1. You should have a Master's degree in Engineering/Technology with a good academic record or a Master's degree by Research in Engineering/Technology with a good academic record.

2. Candidates with Master's degree in Sciences with a good academic record and of exceptional merit where elihible, for the relevant Engineering discipline and with a valid GATE score or UGC/CSIR NET/NBHM or equivalent qualigiation in the relevant area tenable for the year of registration. 

3. Candidates who have qualified for the award of Bachelor's degree in Engineering/Technology with exceptionally good academic recird in an eligible discipline will be considered for direct admission to Ph.D programme as a regular full time scholar subject to following conditions:

Applications are invited at any timr from eligible candidates for admission to Ph.D under regular/part time/external schemes of IIT Madras. Shortlisted candidates will be called for test and interview or interview by the Selection Committee departments from time to timr

Go for B. Arch.  Admission will be based on percentage in 12th and score in entrance exam such as NATA or JEE Main. No candidate with less than 50% marks in aggregate shall be admitted to the architecture course unless he/she has passed an examination at the end of the new 10+2 scheme of Senior School Certificate Examination or equivalent with Mathematics as subjects of examination at the 10+2 level or 10+3 Diploma (any stream) recognized by Central/State Governments with 50% aggregate marks or International Baccalaureate Diploma, after 10 years of schooling with not less than 50% marks in aggregate and with Mathematics as compulsory subject of examination. Pass in NATA exam I. e 80 marks out of 200. 

50% marks in 10+2 with mathematics as compulsory subject. 
2. JEE Mains PAPER - 2 Architecture exam - lets you get admission in IITs, National Institutes of Technology and other Government colleges. Bachelor of Architecture: Top Institutes with their fee structure
Centre for Environmental Planning & TechnologyAhmedabad- INR. 1, 61,000
Lovely Professional University INR. 19,500
Jadavpur UniversityKolkata INR. 2,730
School of Planning & Architecture Delhi INR. 46,300.

Average fees for this course in government colleges ranges from INR 1.5 to 2.5 Lacs and in private institutes, it ranges from approximately. INR 2.5 to 5 Lacs. After the successful completion of this course, the students can pursue their career in the architecture sector with the average salary range between INR 2.5 to 5 LPA.

Thermal engineers are required in the industries/companies that manufactures heat exchangers, A.C.s, Refrigerator, etc. They can also work in thermal power plants and hydro-electric power plant.

dear student

Career option in teaching field is also available for the candidates having postgraduate degree in thermal engineering.
Professionals of this field are generally recruited by the production firms. You can also get teaching jobs in various reputed universities and colleges.

After pursuing a degree in this field, you can easily find job opportunities in various areas like Engineering Equipment Industries, Nuclear Power Stations, Pollution Control Agencies, Space Research Organization, Oil Exploration and Refining, Thermal Power Stations, Energy Conservation Department, etc.

hope this helps

All the best!!!
