hey solomon...ur rank is pretty decent... u cant get nit of ur state(owing to huge competition in ur state)... but othr nits u'll get definitely.... cs/ece will be difficult...but core brnches will b thr 4 sure !!

the toppers of aieee, are mostly the toppers of JEE also... nd they join IITs

watever choices u fill for the counselling.. they r processed at definite tym-intervals...  suppose u gave 6 choices... thn they will b processed on ur prefernc basis... means the one which is higher in ur list will be chckd for u first...if thrs no othr candidate with a higher rank than u, it will b allotted to u... nd thn rest of choices below it... will be discarded... the thng to be noticed is each candidate will be allotted one n only one seat... frm his prefernce list!!

hmm...yeah sir..its really kard to him to get a govt cllg....  evn top private ones,at uptu will be quite difficult.... still u can try KITE, galgotia, nd thn bbd,srmcem at lcknw ....

nd for aieee's rank, u can try the cllgs at haryana, rajasthan or even maharastra... they take admission on the basis of aieee's rank!!

download it frm the site... incase u dnt receieve it before counselling...

u can go for fiitjee, resonance, rubics, trivaag..

if u r talking bout the branch change after 1st yr, well 1st of all...not all NITs provide this option....like nagpur,trichy dont...while alld,warangal do !!

nd the criterai depends on the cllg... mostly its on the basis of result of 1st yr

indicative seat matrix is for candidates who hav registrd at ccb's site, for online counselling... login nd thn u can see the link for dat and yeah... the seats alloted thr, will be frm ur choices only, the ones which u hav filled thr!!

same as www.goiit.com/posts/list/0/counselling-where-to-go-69900.htm

u may get a NIT with core branch... cuz core branches rnt preferred dat much...

yeah, risin is correct....indicative seat matrix, gives u a general idea, about ur position.... but pls dnt take it as the final result... it varies aloot !!!

ccb's site will give u the opening n closing ranks of various NITs, last yr ....but as state quota is abolishd this yr (n was thr last yr)...i dnt think it will help much..

chck out the site suggested by naman...it may help!
