Q:   Are there any colleges in AKTU where i can secure admission in CSE with a CRL of 371375 and being a resident of UP?

A:

It might be difficult to gain admission to AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University) for the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) programme with a Common Rank List (CRL) of 371375 in JEE Main. However, AKTU provides a variety of colleges and programmes, so you might have some possibilities.

For college admissions to its associated institutions, AKTU administers its own counselling programme. The seat allocation is based on a number of variables, including your rank, category, the number of seats available, and the preferences you expressed throughout the counselling process.

With the stated rank, your prospects of getting into a top college may be slim, but you may still have possibilities for colleges with more seats available and perhaps lower cutoff ranks.

I advise visiting the official website of AKTU and reviewing their counselling portal in order to obtain the most precise and recent information regarding the colleges and programmes that are accessible to you based on your rank and residence in Uttar Pradesh. Information on the participating colleges, their cutoff scores, and the seat allocation procedure will be available on the counselling portal.

To gain a sense of the range of ranks admitted to various universities under AKTU, you can also look to the cutoff ranks from the prior year. You can use this knowledge to understand your options and make a well-informed choice.
