My brother scored 428 in 2015, and he was qualified for the CSE branch, but instead, he chose ME. In the current situation, a score of more than 440 is required to obtain a spot in CSE.

Because the cut-off for each year varies, it's difficult to specify what the minimum marks are required for CSE.

You can check the cut-off stats for CSE in the last few years in the table below. 

Hope this gives you some idea about the cutoff required for CSE at IET Lucknow. 

Electronics and Instrumentation and Electronics and Communication are a part of the electronics department. Both the branches are perfect in their place. Since I have some friends studying Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering at IET Lucknow, I might be able to answer your question.

• If you look at the campus placements then it is not as good as CS, IT, etc. branches.
• The packages offered to some students of EI are also not good. (about 3 lac average.)
• But in the GATE exam, every year many students of EI secure good ranks, and even toppers are from IET Lucknow.
• For example, in the 2016 gate exam, Monti with AIR-4 & Vipin Sukla sir had secured AIR-18 and he graduated from IIT Bombay.

The course is good but the placement stats are not very good. If good placement is what you are searching for as the main parameter then you may consider other options.

No, you cannot apply for UP and other scholarships while on a fee waiver seat. If you apply for a scholarship being on a fee waiver seat then your seat might get canceled as well.

• When you have got admission on a fee waiver seat then your fees will go down significantly.
• The college does allow scholarships and financial assistance to other students.
• The condition is that your family’s annual income should be less than 2 lakhs per annum. Your parents should not be state or central government employees.
• For SC/ST candidates the family income should not exceed INR 2.5 LPA.
• There is also a requirement for an income certificate which has to be submitted for getting a scholarship.

The scholarships are provided by the government. They are not provided by the college. Once you fulfill the criteria. The dean of student welfare will help you out through the process and you will start receiving the scholarship from the government into your bank accounts.

JSS Noida will be a better option for you. The location factor is also very important. After completing course, you can easily get a job in any of the IT in Noida. The off-campus chances of getting placed are also high. You will also get good industrial exposure in the JSS Noida college. The college is very strict in attendance. The company has got a lot of placement opportunities. The labs and equipment of the college are also well equipped.

IET Lucknow being a government college is good for core branches only. The CS and IT branch of the college is not that good. If you are planning for GATE and other competitive exams. you might get ample time for that because there is no such attendance system. 

IET Lucknow is a good option if it's the last option for you. Chemical engineering is not up to the mark. Having friends from IET Lucknow and online reviews here are some tips for you –

• Labs are in poor condition.
• The faculty is also just average.
