With JEE Main rank 101,571, getting ECE in DAIICT is very hard because their cutoff is much lower, around 12,000. Even with reservations, your rank is higher than their usual cutoff.

You can try other private colleges or state counseling where cutoff ranks are higher. Also, some colleges have management quota but fees are more.

Focus on colleges where your rank fits the cutoff. If you want, I can help find good colleges for your rank.

Hello aspirant!

DAIICT Gandhinagar uses JEE Main ranks for admission. In 2024, the closing ranks for All India general category were as follows:

  • Mathematics & Computing was highly competitive, closing around rank 80.

  • The core ICT stream closed near rank 139.

  • Electronics & VLSI was a bit less competitive, closing around rank 290.

If you belong to OBC or EWS, the cutoff ranks tend to be slightly higher, with some streams closing around rank 350 to 680. Your chances of admission depend on your JEE Main rank and the specific stream you choose.

So, if your JEE Main rank is around 80 to 150, you could aim for top streams like Mathematics & Computing or core ICT. Ranks between 150 and 300 may still get you into Electronics & VLSI.

All the best!

While admission to BTech programs is mostly determined by your JEE Main rank, your 12th grade science grades are taken into account for eligibility at DAIICT. You must have earned a 12th grade diploma in mathematics, physics, and one of the following subjects: biology, computer science, chemistry, or biotechnology. For the All India category, there is no minimum percentage needed, although passing the 12th grade is a requirement for admission.

The official cutoff for DAIICT Gandhinagar for 2025 has not been released yet.
