CSE Branch – Most Sought-After in JEE Mains

Computer Science Engineering (CSE) is consistently the most competitive branch in JEE Mains counselling. Top NITs — NIT Trichy, NIT Warangal, NIT Surathkal, NIT Calicut — fill their CSE seats with ranks under 5,000–10,000 (Other State quota, General category).

IIITs specialising in Computer Science — IIIT Hyderabad, IIIT Allahabad, IIIT Gwalior — are also highly competitive and offer excellent placement outcomes comparable to top NITs for CSE.

For candidates with ranks 20,000–50,000, CSE at newer NITs (NIT Hamirpur, NIT Raipur, NIT Manipur) and multiple IIITs become realistic options, especially under Home State quota.
