Hello there,

With a General Merit Rank (GMR) of 12,000 and an SC rank of 874, you have a decent chance of getting a seat at Jadavpur University during decentralized counseling, particularly in branches that are less in demand.

Factors to Consider:

• Branch Preference: Popular branches like CSE and ECE may be difficult to get, but you might secure a seat in other branches like Mechanical, Civil, or Chemical Engineering.
  
  
• Previous Year Trends: The cutoffs vary each year, so checking the last year's decentralized counseling cutoffs can provide a better idea.
