What SRMJEEE Rank Has Historically Secured CSE at SRM AP?

A rank below 9,000 gives you a comfortable shot. Between 9,000 and 10,500 is borderline possible, but entirely dependent on how many candidates ranked above you have made the same choice. Cross 14,000 and the probability drops sharply enough that you should be treating CSE at SRM AP as a stretch rather than a plan.

Academic Year	SRMJEEE Closing Rank for CSE (Core)	SRMJEEE Closing Rank for CSE (with Specializations)
2025	8,000 – 9,500	12,000 – 14,500
2024	9,500 – 10,500	13,000 – 16,000
2023	9,600 – 11,000	14,500 – 18,000
2022	10,000 – 12,500	16,000 – 20,000
2021	12,000 – 14,000	18,000 – 25,000

SRMJEEE 2026 Marks Vs Rank for CSE at SRM AP

To land within the 8,500 to 10,000 rank band needed for CSE at SRM AP, a score between 70 and 84 out of 130 is the realistic target. Pushing above 85 gives you a meaningful buffer, especially relevant as 2026 competition tightens.

SRMJEEE ranks are normalised across all three phases, so the same raw score in Phase 2 may not produce an identical rank to Phase 1 depending on how difficult it is distributed that year. The table below highlights the SRMJEEE marks vs rank trends from the 2024 and 2025 cycles:

SRMJEEE Score (Out of 130)	Approximate Rank
120 – 130	Top 500
100 – 119	500 – 3,000
85 – 99	3,000 – 7,000
70 – 84	7,000 – 10,000
55 – 69	10,000 – 15,000

Does Your Target Specialisation Change Your SRMJEEE Rank?

SRM AP does not run a single CSE programme, it offers multiple specialisations, each carrying its own demand level and closing rank. Treating all of them as interchangeable during counselling is a mistake that costs students seats they could have secured with better planning.

AI and Machine Learning has been closing faster than core CSE in some phases, its demand has grown enough that treating it as an easy alternative to core CSE is no longer accurate. AIML, Data Science, and Cyber Security remain the more accessible entry points if your rank sits in the 10,000 to 13,000 range.

Specialization	Demand Level	Predicted 2026 Safe Rank	Previous Closing Rank Trends
CSE (Core)	Very high	7,500 – 9,500	8,000 – 9,500
CSE - AI & Machine Learning	High	10,000 – 11,500	10,500 – 12,000
CSE - Data Science	High	12,000 – 13,500	12,500 – 14,000
CSE - Cyber Security	Moderate to High	13,000 – 15,000	14,000 – 16,500
CSE - Cloud Computing	High	15,000 – 17,000	16,000 – 18,000
CSE - Big Data Analytics	Moderate to High	16,000 – 18,500	17,000 – 19,500
CSE - IoT	Moderate	17,500 – 21,000	18,000 – 24,000

A rank between 8,000 and 10,000 through SRMJEEE is the working target for CSE at SRM AP in 2026 with the safer end at 8,500 and below. The score needed on SRMJEEE to hit that rank range sits between 70 and 85 out of 130 which is achievable with focused preparation, particularly in Mathematics and Physics where most candidates drop marks.

Go into counselling with at least two or three CSE specialisations on your list alongside core CSE, and treat the rank data by specialisation as a live tool.

Placements for Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) at LPU give students multiple career options. Companies do come for recruitment, and students get placed in core electrical roles as well as in areas like information technology, analytics, and operations, so there is flexibility in the kind of roles available. Students with stronger profiles that include projects, internships, and practical exposure generally secure better roles and packages. The university also provides placement training and support during the recruitment process. Overall, EEE at LPU offers a mix of opportunities across different sectors, depending on individual preparation and skill development.

I am not taking JEE Main this year. Do I need to take LPUNEST for BTech CSE at LPU?

Yes, you can still apply for B.Tech CSE at LPU even if you are not taking JEE Main. LPU accepts LPUNEST as its own entrance test, which you can take for admission as well as for scholarships. You can also apply based on your 12th marks (PCM) if you meet the eligibility criteria. So, not appearing for JEE Main is not an issue, and you still have clear options to get admission.

Lovely Professional University is a good option for B.Tech if you want solid infrastructure, hands-on experience, and help with placements. You don’t have to take JEE Main to get in since admission is mostly through LPUNEST, but JEE scores are also accepted. In the B.Tech (CSE – AI & System Design) with Global Tech Immersion, you get to learn from a global perspective, follow an industry-focused curriculum, use advanced AI labs, and work on real projects. The combination of international experience and practical skills helps you stand out from other B.Tech programs.
