The cut off for any exam depends on factors such as number of vacancies, difficulty level of the paper and level of competition. The last factor is increasing every year because of explosion in the number of engineering colleges. ECE is such a branch is which found in almost every college. Rise in the number of coaching centres has also added to the competition.
Let's have a graphical look at cut off marks for various categories -
The following graph represents the number of final selections in ETE branch -
We can conclude the following things after looking at the above data -
1) The cut off for electronics has always shown a non decreasing trend for all categories.
2) Particularly general category cutoff is increasing by 20 to 30 marks every year irrespective of the number of vacancies.
3) The difference between general and reserved categories is also decreasing.
4) In the last 5 years cut off for ST has shown a whooping rise of 182 marks!!
My seniors in college used to consider ESE an easy examination. The nature of papers have not changed much during these five years. Only the level and quality of competition has rose and it will keep rising in the near future.
The purpose of this post is to set a target for yourself for ESE-2015. This year total number of vacancies is 475 for all branches. It means there are less than 100 vacancies for electronics (However we cannot be sure at this point of time.). Assuming the nature of paper remaining same, cut off will definitely rise. We can predict it to be around 670-680 marks. One should target 700+ marks to be in safe zone. For that one has to get 600+ marks in written exam. It seems tough but if one give proper attention to all five papers and do not neglect any of the papers he/she can achieve the goal.
In my next posts I will present analysis of last two years' conventional papers and a strategy to maximize your marks in the remaining time.

Nice post!!!
ReplyDeletePlease make your post regarding conventional a little in depth...like subjects which are more scoring and take less time.... strategy for non-gate subjects (especially EMI)...some questions/topics that we are definitely going to face this year.
