Dear Aspirant,

At such a high rank of yours it is highly unlikely that you will get a government seat in any of the government engineering colleges of Odisha in OJEE lateral entry. All Government engineering Institutes of the state provide admission to students in lateral entry with a much better rank than what you have achieved. If you have some sort of reservation, still it is going to be difficult for you as you still need a very good quota rank.

The closing ranks of the different government colleges for Lateral Entry in Civil Engineering are:-

1) College of Engineering and Technology, Bhubaneswar------- 347

2) Government College of Engineering, Kalahandi, Bhawanipatna--------- 1096

3) Indira Gandhi Institute of Technology, Sarang----607

4) Parala Maharaj Engineering College, Berhampur:--------901

5) Veer Surendra Sai University of Technology, Burla ------ 326.

So you can see where you stand with respect to the cutoff ranks for civil engineering that the colleges have kept for admission for students through OJEE lateral entry. Although the number of seats have increased in recent years, there has also been tremendous increase in the number of applicants.

However, at this rank of yours, you can easily get admission in any of the private engineering colleges even in the best private engineering college of the state. Before joining any of the private institutes, you should compare them against each other to know by yourself which is the better college for you to take admission in your preferred Institute.
