What is the status of IET Lucknow, and can I get admission there with a 1,750 rank in the UPSEE? In which branch?

Currently, IT Lucknow is considered the best college in Dr. A.P.J Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU). But it is way backward in terms of infrastructure and placements from its private counterparts. The non-core branches’ average placements hover around INR 4-5 lakhs per annum while that of core branches is virtually non-existent.

The students are good as most of them were serious IITs and NITs aspirants before coming here. The students here can easily prepare for other competitive exams as coaching centers are nearby. Attendance is also fairly lenient and thus you will get ample time for your preparations. However, sometimes the administration may go hard if they feel like it.

With a rank of 1750 in UPSEE, I think you can get electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, electronics and instrumentation engineering, civil engineering, and chemical engineering by 4th round. You may also get information technology and electronics and communications engineering by 5th round.

Here are some of the things for which you can consider joining IET Lucknow –

• If you are not getting any NIT or GFTI.
• If your financial condition is not good (Being a government college it has a very nominal fee).
• If you do not want a heavy academic burden.
• If you are aiming for higher education and do not care about placements much.

IET Lucknow is not a bad institute. It is just that it is mostly a good compromise institute rather than an outright first-choice college.
