While a clear-cut answer to this question isn’t possible, here are some insights regarding ranks and admissions according to my friends who are currently studying there.

One of my friends is a final year student from LNCT pursuing B.Tech in IT. He secured a rank of 1,27,000 in 2017 but he wasn’t able to secure a seat in CSE Branch with that rank. Instead, he took a seat in IT in the 1st round itself. Yes, he didn’t wait for the 2nd or 3rd round. However, you can wait for at least the 3rd round to see if your chances increase for the CSE branch. 

Secondly, it also depends on your quota. Most of the time it is quite impossible to secure a seat with such a rank without any quota. My friend who belonged to the unreserved category couldn’t get in even EC with a rank of 69,000.

In recent years the required cutoff for CSE at LNCT Bhopal was 83761. 

At last, if you are looking forward to a bright future in CSE or IT, establish your skills in programming on your own. If you are dependent on your college for learning something such as programming, your chances of grabbing programming job profiles are less.

It is usually determined by your Biology and Chemistry grades. Typically, the cutoff is not particularly high. It’s between 87 and 89 percent. It also varies from year to year based on the results of the board. However, if your score is higher than 87–88 percent, your name will almost certainly appear on the cutoff list.

As there are only a few colleges in Kolkata (under Calcutta University) that provide biochemistry as a bachelor’s degree. So, you should definitely go for it if you get admission.

The biochemistry department of Asutosh College is outstanding. There are 3 post-doctorate faculties and two Ph.D. faculties on campus. Teachers are also quite supportive.

For BA, the cut-off is usually around 80-85% as of previous year’s records for the Maharashtra students. If you belong to other states, the cut-off will be around 90-95%. depends on how the rest of your peers have performed.

These cut-offs are as per the 1st merit list for Open category students. If you fail to secure a seat, then try during the 2nd and 3rd merit list.

If you are financially stable, then there is an option to get admission at the college after paying donation money.

The mark distribution listed below is rather approximate to what is usually witnessed. It generally changes from one year to another, depending on various aspects.

• Engineering Mathematics: 15 marks
• General Aptitude: 15 marks
• Production (subtopics include, conventional manufacturing process, metrology, non-traditional manufacturing): 30 - 35 marks
• Industrial Engineering, Operations Management, Operations Research: Approx. 15 - 20 marks
• Quality and Reliability: 5 - 10 marks
• Core Engineering (SOM, Design, Thermal, Fluid mechanics): 15 - 20 marks.

You should go through the previous year’s papers to acquire a clearer idea. As a GM student, you will need to score around 65 - 70 marks, or 800 to 850 in GATE to secure an interview call. Here are the expected cut-off marks of the GATE scores.

Hope this helps answer your question.
