It's a Question of your Career!

With a percentile of 64.38, your approximate rank is around 60,000. While top-tier colleges like VJTI, SPIT, and KJ Somaiya are out of reach, you still have a chance in several mid-tier autonomous colleges in the Mumbai and Navi Mumbai region through later CAP rounds.

Colleges like VESIT (Chembur) and Shah & Anchor (SAKEC) are autonomous and occasionally have vacancies in the Electronics or Electronics & Telecommunication branches during later rounds, though their general cutoff usually stays within the top 15,000. On the other hand, Pillai College of Engineering (Panvel) and SIES GST (Nerul) have slightly more flexible cutoffs and are known to accept students with ranks closer to yours, especially in the Electronics-related branches.

Hello aspirant,

Following completion of the 10th grade or 10+2 with PCM (Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics), students can pursue a diploma in information technology (IT) or computer science engineering (CSE). There are many colleges in India which offer this course.

I suggest you to provide me the name of college about which you are seeking information so that I can help you better.

Thank you

No, It is not compulsory to do B.tech after completing BCA .if you are interested further studies after BCA then please focus on specialization, certification or postgraduate degrees like MCA ,MBA .BCA and B.Tech these two both are undergraduate dgree programs.

Hello Aspirant,

With a GATE 2025 score of 352 and OBC rank 21421 in CSE it can be probable for M.Tech in CSE or AI at JNTUA (Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Anantapur). In the initial rounds it can be challenging as the cutoffs for CSE/AI are usually high, core branches tend to have low cutoffs relative to all other branches and will only get higher in general rounds. If your only applying for CSE and AI only, you might have a foot in the door with later rounds or spot admissions to fill vacancies from those rejected in the initial rounds or those that declined the offer, if they have not confirmed their seats. Again, keep an eye on either CCMT or on at the university level counselling, soon enough it will be quite an academic year!

Yes, there are institutions that offer an Integrated BCA+MCA program, but availability of seats varies by institution and the specific admission process.

You'll need to check the specific institution's website or contact them directly to inquire about seat availability and the admission process for the current academic year.

If the institution conducts counseling sessions, attend them to get detailed information about the program and admission.

Thank you!!

With 250 out of 750 marks in CUET and if you are from Uttar Pradesh, you might not get admission in top central universities. But you can still get admission in some state universities or private universities for the BCA course.

Universities like Lucknow University, Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar University Agra, and Jananayak Chandrashekhar University Ballia may consider your score depending on seat availability and cutoffs. Your chances will increase if the cutoff goes low this year.

Private universities like Sharda University, Galgotias University, Amity University Noida, and Integral University Lucknow also offer BCA courses. These universities may accept CUET scores or give admission through direct entry or their own process.

You should check each university's official website to know whether they accept CUET score for BCA and what their process is for admission.

With 83 percentile in MHT CET PCM and OBC category, getting top colleges like VJTI, SPIT, DJ Sanghvi, or COEP is not possible for Computer Engineering, as they usually close above 95–99 percentile.

You have better chances in mid to lower-tier colleges in Mumbai and nearby areas. Some colleges where you might get Computer Engineering include:

– Universal College of Engineering, Palghar
– Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Institute of Technology, Panvel
– Shah and Anchor Kutchhi Engineering College, Chembur (in later rounds)
– St. John College of Engineering, Palghar
– Aldel Education Trust's St. John Technical Campus, Palghar

These colleges usually have OBC closing percentiles ranging from 75 to 85 or even lower in the later CAP rounds.

A Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy) is the highest academic degree you can earn in most fields. To apply for a PhD, you usually need to have a master’s degree in a related subject, although in some cases, students with a 4-year undergraduate degree or those who have cleared NET/JRF or GATE can also apply. The PhD program involves deep research , writing a thesis or dissertation , and working closely with a guide or supervisor. It can take 3 to 6 years to complete. Most universities in India conduct entrance exams and interviews for PhD admissions. It’s ideal for those who want to become researchers, professors, or experts in their field.
