Don't stick to a single branch, consider all the courses and programs before making any decision. All types of industries need different kinds of students. You should not be particular about the branch. Choose your program and branch according to your interests.

Cutoff:

Now coming to the category-wise round of counseling. A table with the closing ranks for CSE in 2019 is curated below.

Before deciding on the branch, research every course. Hope this will help you, Good Luck.

It is suggested to fill up maximum programs in NITIE Mumbai. In the initial stage, most of the IIT and NIT are occupied by students who finally go to PSU’s. A lot of vacancies are created in these institutes; you just have to keep yourself updated with it and apply for it. 

• Students with 50-65 marks join any good institute like IIT BHU, ISM Dhanbad, NIT Jamshedpur, MANIT Bhopal, NIT Patna, etc. 
• It is wise to contact the seniors already present there and talk to them about the preparation.
• Students with marks 35-50 should try again and the ones who secured less than 35 should join private jobs. 
• GATE is not the last option. There are approximately 225 more PSUs and IES, RRB, State Govt. and many more job opportunities left. 
• PSU calls students up to rank 2000 and the seats are confirmed till AIR 500 and the rest depends on the interview. 
• NITIE Mumbai is a good option if you have a rank from 500-3000. 
• M.Tech is excellent from institutes such as IISC and top IITs. 

Lastly, students of the general category opting for Mechanical Engineering at NITIE Mumbai require a GATE score of 720-760 and above.

NIT Trichy has released the required cutoff for 2020. Here is the recent cutoff trend for OBC home-state students for different branches.

This should give you an idea of what to score, in order to get admission at NIT Trichy. 

According to one of my friend’s experiences there are chances of getting into Dayanand Sagar College in the second round. Though the chances are very low, therefore it depends upon your luck. 

You should refer to the previous cut-offs but at the same time, you should be open to the options and accept them whole-heartedly as it depends purely on you how much you are inclined to working hard. If you really work hard then it does not matter that in which college you are in, nobody can stop you from reaching your destiny. According to the previous year’s cut-offs, 5855 was the closing rank in Round 1.

Keep trying your dream college but you should be always open to various other options so that you will not waste your entire year.

Both the choices are decent so you can choose either. But, as I don't know exactly which branch of DSU are you asking about; but if you are talking about DSU (Kumar swami layout) then go for it; and if not NHCE is better.

• If you are hard-working go for DSU as placements for CSE and ISE are the same and you should prepare for the campus placements as well. In DSU the average and highest CTC offered is 4 LPA and 15 LPA. 
• If you are an average student in CSE, then NHCE offers 100% placements for CSE. In recent years the average CTC offered at the institute is 3 LPA. 
• If you are going to an engineering college in search of a decent job then go for NHCE.

And let me clear that, 100% placements mean there are no specifications of package you will be given. You might get a company to work with a 1 LPA salary or a 12 LPA salary depends on your caliber and knowledge.

Yes, it is possible to get into any of these colleges with this rank, be it SGSITS or IET DAVV. But you wouldn't get into the branch according to your choice. It only depends on the number of seats available for each branch and the number of students applying for a particular branch.

The table below shows the required cutoff for SGSITS and IET DAVV.

But don't just take admission in any branch of a college just because of its name and popularity. Always choose that branch in which you are really interested. That would be the best decision and will be very helpful for your career.
