Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering

Hello Aishwari, There is a matrix on the website of dte of tech edu of Maharashtra as well as of other states. This matrix gives out possible branches of engineering that a Diploma holder in a particular branch can take. You have to go accordingly. Best Wishes.

If you are from open category, then you have to score atleast 50% to get admission in Engineering. If you fail to score 50% then you can not qualify for Engineering.

First of all, I would like to tell you that both the colleges are not good enough to have core electronics placement. (That is the worst part of this field). It's good for students who want to pursue Masters or M.Tech. If you are looking for a job after BE, then you will have to compromise and work in IT industry. Both branches can appear for Telecommunication placements but EXTC has better cards there. Think twice before taking these fields. But if you have only two options, then choose Somaiya.
Hope this helps. All the best :)

There are lots of colleges there offering the same branch and many other branches at the subsidized rate which the private college charges for the same branch.
Like:
IET, Lucknow
HBTI, Kanpur
KNIT, Sultanpur
GBPIT, Pantnagar

See, honestly, both the departments have good professors and core companies for your placement and to add to this look at the seat allotment after the 1st round. EE department has started from 29 rank and ETC dept has started admission from 51 rank, both are impressive.
So, to sum up, choose what you like. If you like working with a breadboard, resistor, capacitor, chips, etc., choose ETC. If you like to learn about motors, machines, transformers, etc., choose EE.
Good luck.

Yes, you can get E&TC on the basis of your OBC rank, and also you can get:
Computer Science & Engineering/Computer Science & Technology
Electronics & Communication Engineering/Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering
Information Technology
Electrical Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Instrumentation Engineering/Instrumentation & Electronics Engineering
Civil Engineering
Chemical Engineering.

In absence of CS, you can go for electronics and telecom. As it is a wider field than electronics, and also chances of getting better placement is more compared to only electronics.

Hi Pavan,
The below-provided link helps you to predict the college/institute you can get with your rank-

Hope it helps.

You may get ETC in VSSUT since the usual cutoff for ETC is about 120,000 every year. But I can't say this for sure if you're a general male. You may have a chance. As far as counseling is concerned, keep an eye on the OJEE website and fill choices as per your preferences once the counseling process starts. Seats will be allocated on the basis of your choices and your rank. Good luck.
