Hi Nirupama,

Last year the closing rank of mechanical engineering branch for MIT Karnataka, was 18581 in 8th round of counselling.

By analysing previous years cutoff if we prepare a expected Marks vs Rank for this year(2021), then this is how it will look like.

Marks Rank
185+ 1147

175-185 2234

170-175 3042

165-170 3653

160+ 5695

155+ 10978

150+ 18581

130+ 40303

By looking at the rank you have mentioned there are some chances that you will be getting mechanical engineering in main campus. Cutoff may go and down as it depends on various factors like difficulty level of paper, total number of candidates who appeared in the exam in a particular year, total number of seats, etc.

I'll suggest you not to lose hope and keep proceeding in whatever you are doing.

I hope it clears your doubt.

All the best!
