I have a few friends from IET Lucknow, and here are some tips for you. Yes, you can get into IET Lucknow.
You will need a domicile of yours and your mother or father (of Uttar Pradesh). Only then you can get admitted to a state government college.
The domicile certificate is important as it is an official document provided by the state government to recognize the residence of a citizen. When you will check the AKTU site, check for papers needed for admission there you will get it.
You can take admission in any of the private colleges under AKTU but a domicile certificate is a mandatory thing to join a government college.
IET Lucknow being one of the top colleges under AKTU is one of the most preferred colleges by the students in UPSEE counseling. Usually, it accepts students with a general rank under 2000 in UPSEE with a little margin for the OBC category.
With the mentioned rank, there is almost no chance for you to be accepted into this college. However, you can get one of the three Rajkiye Engineering Colleges (RECs) at this rank. You can also try for certain other private colleges such as AKG or JSS.
Check the previous year’s cut-off pattern of IET Lucknow in the table below:
Course | IET Lucknow Cut Off |
B.Tech in CSE | 120-226 |
B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering | 1310-1434 |
B.Tech in Civil Engineering | 1260-2004 |
B.Tech in Chemical Engineering | 2081-3438 |
B.Tech in ECE | 508-764 |
Give a try in other private colleges till the last counseling rounds as admission in IET, Lucknow with these ranks is almost impossible to get.
Some of my friends are from IET Lucknow. According to them, the placements of the CSE and IT branches are really good. Almost all the students get placed. The placement percentage shall be around 80-90% in both CSE and IT departments.
The salary packages offered to the students may vary from company to company. Or a student’s overall performance could also determine the job role and the salary package offered.
Generally, out of 60 students in a batch, 7 to 8 students are placed with a package of more than INR 5-6 LPA.
Categories | CS at IET Lucknow | IT at IET Lucknow |
Course Fee | 3.44 lakh | 3.44 lakh |
Highest CTC | 15-18 LPA | 16 LPA |
Average CTC | 8-10 LPA | 9 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | Wipro, Cognizant, IBM, TCS, etc. | HP, Tech Mahindra, Deloitte, Dell, etc. |
Thus it is not that tough to get a salary package of above 6 LPA. If your overall academic performance is good throughout your college life, securing a salary package of above 6 LPA will not be a problem. Also, remember that these could vary.
Honestly, the answer is No. One of my friends was in a similar situation and he did not get admission with a rank closer to this.
With the GNGL rank of 2,500, it would be very difficult for you to get into the chemical engineering program at IET Lucknow. The general rank is way higher.
I would strongly suggest you not settle for any random private college with this rank. It would be better to take a year drop.
However, if you have other options such as JEE Mains, you can try private colleges like LNMIIT, Thapar, etc.
IET Lucknow is an autonomous constituent college of the state technical university of Uttar Pradesh, Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU). So it has to follow the rules, regulations, and entrance exam which the AKTU prescribes.
AKTU conducts the Uttar Pradesh State Entrance Exam (UPSEE) to admit students in its various undergraduate courses in its various affiliated colleges. So currently you can take admission in IET Lucknow only through UPSEE and not through JEE (Mains) rank.
I have a friend who is an alumnus of IET Lucknow and according to him, you should enroll at whichever decent college you can find with a good branch, as you won't have many options at your rank.
And If you fall into the general category, your selections at this rank will be severely limited. If you are offered IET Lucknow, it will be better to take it.
You should check out the JOSAA website for last year's closing ranks of different institutions in your category in the various stages, this will give you a good sense of what you might be able to achieve.
Hope this answers your doubts.
