Q4: Give me tips for the year 2008

A1: The DTE website used to have last year's cutoff marks once upon a time but they do not seem to have it this year around. The last years cutoff is not important for the later stages of the admissions where most of the admissions happen. Even then, it was pretty useful information. Knowing last years cutoff marks is important if you have very high marks and want to get admission in the earlier rounds itself. In general IT cutoff was very low and so was a good buy.

A2: There are four colleges that have been provided additional resources by the state  (VJTI, COEP and two more). These have a separate form that applies only to those four colleges. Unrecognized colleges may also have separate forms. All the other colleges have a common form. So make sure that you fill out the common form. All colleges require CET scores, so make sure that you take the CET test.

A3: Get into an unrecognized college only if you have no other college options and only after doing the necessary research. An unrecognized college is one step away from both recognition and closing down. Typically, colleges don't close down as the folks running these colleges are usually connected to regional and local politics. Be more careful about M.E. degrees though; they have higher probability of closing down if unrecognized.

A4: Here is the official link to the 2008 admission for engineering colleges.

Make sure that you take the exams. With the abundance of engineering seats out there, you will be able to get in somewhere.

Link to intake per college here. The takeaway point is that there are tons of seats

Here is the link to the chat room of DTE where you can either ask questions or just listen in. Use it during office hours.

Here's the most updated DTE link for all the colleges and all the contact information. Here is the link to the DTE frontpage for the 2008 selection process.

For NRIs and PIOs, an Indian engineering degree is a great buy on management quota. Better to get admitted in a big city like Mumbai, Pune, Vashi, Nashik and so on. That reduces the jealousy factor a little bit and reduces culture shock.

Anyone above 150 CET score and even around 145 should have a great chance. If you have a low score, you might get a call after the school year begins. As per last year, folks with CET score in the 40s were called for interview. Make sure you get counselling and plan for a late admission. BSc is a good waiting place if you are expecting delayed admission. Worst case; try CET exam again next year. With your BSc Physics, Chemistry knowledge, you can crack it more easily the next year, if you so desire. Plus the education will help you in your First year too; the Physics is the same.
