Dear Student,

With 150 marks in JEE Main 2024, your rank will be between 18,000 and 20,000. This implies your percentile might fall around 98-99. With this rank, you can get admission to top colleges like NIT Warangal, Surathkal, Trichy, Raipur, Rourkela, Jamshedpur, etc., in branches like Computer Science Engineering (CSE), Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE), Information Technology (IT), etc. Apart from this, you can also have good chances for admission into top GECs in your state for various branches depending on the state and college cutoffs.

Dear Sonakshi, yes, you are right, there is no option for university-level admission to CSE at The Faculty of Technology and Engineering Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda. The Faculty of Technology and Engineering at MSU Baroda offers undergraduate courses in computer science engineering through the ACPC (Admission Committee for Professional Courses) process. The application process for the ACPC is now closed for the academic year 2023-24. However, you can still apply for admission to CSE at MSU Baroda through the direct admission process. The direct admission process is conducted by the college itself.
