First of all, congratulations on securing such a good rank in your examination. With the rank that you have achieved, you can very easily get admission into the CS branch of the institute. The fact that you have the advantage of a good girl’s rank would also increase the probability.

• If still, you are unable to get admission into the institute, don’t worry.
• There are a total of 3 rounds in the counseling process where you would be given the option to choose the float option which would automatically transfer your preference for the next round.
• My cousin secured a girl rank of 98 last year and was eligible for admission into the CS branch of the institute.
• If you get admission into the institute but not in the CS branch in these three-round, you would have the option to appear for the internal sliding program after getting enrolled in the institute.
• IET organizes an internal sliding program every year to fill the vacant seats for several branches.
• For example, if somehow you get admission for the IT branch and you wish to change it to CS, you can participate in the internal sliding program of the institute.

Given below is a table that includes the cutoff details of IET Lucknow in regards to the general rank and general girls rank for your reference (IET Lucknow UPSEE Cut-Off 2021):

The Internal sliding is scheduled within a week from the date of the last round of counseling, so you should always try and keep yourself updated.

There is no option for direct admissions to join IET Lucknow. You will have to appear in the UPSEE entrance examination and after counseling, you may get into IET Lucknow if your rank is very good. Make sure you meet the eligibility criteria.

Cutoff by ranks for the general category for B. Tech (2020) –

Prepare well for your entrance exams and perform well. 

The rank you secured is somewhat very close to the rank one of my cousins obtained, a few years back. His rank was 3,349 in UPSEE.

Based on my cousin’s experience, I will say, you can expect to be eligible for either Electronics and Instrumentation (EI) or Chemical Engineering if you belong to the general category.

Here is the latest cutoff trend for the institute.

Hope this clears your doubts.

Some of my friends from school are students of IET Lucknow. According to them, with this rank, you will get a seat in any branch of IET Lucknow. The latest UPSEE cut-off is shown in the following table.

A few years back a friend of mine got admission to the branch of engineering with a rank of 2415 in the general category and a rank of 518 in the OBC category.

So, there’s a good chance that you will get admission at IET Lucknow.

My brother is an alumnus of IET Lucknow. According to him, with this rank, you have a high chance of making it into IET Lucknow. In terms of the branch, you can definitely bag seats in the Electronics & Instrumentation (EI) branch. Apart from these branches, you can get seats in the Chemical Engineering (CH) branch, and with this rank, you also have big chances of making it into the Civil branch.

In the earlier rounds, these stats may not have been possible to come by but it is an approximate representation of the scenario after the fourth round of counseling is concluded. So, it’s better if you prepare accordingly.

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.
