Tamil Nadu - TNEA counselling
Karnataka - KCET spot rounds
Haryana - State technical universities
Admission Strategy Recommendations
Priority Order
1. First Priority: Apply for all CSAB rounds
2. Second Priority: Focus on newer NITs and IIITs
3. Third Priority: Consider GFTIs with good placement records
4. Fourth Priority: State-level admissions
Important Considerations
OBC candidates receive significant advantage in cutoffs [1] [2]
Consider branch over college reputation for better career prospects
GFTIs often have lower competition but good industry connections [8]
Spot rounds can provide unexpected opportunities in top colleges [10]
With your rank of 1,11,000 in OBC category, you have realistic chances of securing admission in
over 100 engineering institutions across NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs. Focus on preparing choice filling
carefully and participate in all counselling rounds including spot admissions for maximum
