In 2019 gate ee branch ,my gate score 390 ,with rank 14740, catagiry-obc ,can get addimition in JNTUH IN MY CORE BRANCH ,or ANY OTHER brnch
Hello Sathish,
Congratulations on your result. It's a very decent rank. Considering the cut-throat competition in the GATE, approx. 7.85L people appearing for the exam, 14740 AIR is not a bad rank and if converted to percentile, it looks pretty impressive too.
Your percentile: 100-(14740/78500*100)= 98.122%ile
Sure enough, you're now a legit qualified GATE applicant.
On the side note, the best benefit of calculating your percentile: these numbers would look good down in your achievement section when you'll present your resume because it means you have performed better than 98.122% of people who appeared for the exam that year. Sounds impressive, right?
Anyway, coming back to your question...
Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU) Hyderabad, which was formerly known as Nagarjuna Sagar Engineering College, is a public university that is located in the newly formed state of Telangana. The admission to all the courses is done on the basis of various entrance tests conducted by the university.
There are two ways to get admission in JNTUH for MTech programme:
- Through GATE scores, of course.
- Through PGCET scores.
Karnataka PGCET is a state-level entrance examination organized by Karnataka Examination Authority. It is conducted for admission to MBA/MCA/M.Arch/M.Tech/ME and (lateral entry) of MCA program.
Let's compare the number of people who appeared for the exam last year.
- No. of applicants (2018): 26,779 (against 7.81L of GATE)
And there had been 88.99% of candidates who cleared the exam. While PGECET is a state-level examination, the preference for admission in AP universities is given to GATE qualified candidates. This exam, which is always conducted after the GATE results, will have plenty of candidates who would also want to take admission in JNTUH but most of the seats are grabbed by GATE rankers.
The point is, your competitors for a seat in this college are all GATE candidates. That's bad because you may be ahead of 99.211% of people, but you're still behind 14739 candidates. Even if you assume and remove the first 1000 candidates because those candidates either decided for PSU recruitment or IITs/NITs, and another 700 because they wanted to study abroad, there are still 13039 people who are looking for admission in some other colleges, including JNTUH which is a reputed one itself. Against that, you have a rank that wouldn't necessarily get you a seat here.
But let's not lose hope yet.

I believe this will give you a good idea about your chances as well as an idea about the competition you're likely to face to get a seat in any of the 4 constituent colleges. Based on the cutoff, you have good chances at getting admission at least one course in JNTUH, but it can't be said for sure as the cutoff changes every year based on many factors.
' First come, first serve ' should help you have an upper hand in this situation.
I hope this helps.
