My brother is an alumnus of IET Lucknow. According to him, with this rank, you have a high chance of making it into IET Lucknow. In terms of the branch, you can definitely bag seats in the Electronics & Instrumentation (EI) branch. Apart from these branches, you can get seats in the Chemical Engineering (CH) branch, and with this rank, you also have big chances of making it into the Civil branch.

In the earlier rounds, these stats may not have been possible to come by but it is an approximate representation of the scenario after the fourth round of counseling is concluded. So, it’s better if you prepare accordingly.

IET Lucknow has average teachers basically in all branches. However, there are some teachers who are very good and are respected and wanted by everyone in the institute. Prof. Manish Gaur is one of them. Every student wants to attend his classes at least once. He is considered as the ray of hope in IET Lucknow.

Apart from teaching, he is also known for guiding students in their undergraduate thesis work. He helps them with research-related work and queries. His level of interaction is often compared to the faculties of premium institutes like the IIT’s and the IIM’s which is not a regular scene in a state government college. 

Prof. Manish Gaur is also a part of the training and placement cell of IET Lucknow. He will help you and guide you the right way during placements and also in academics.

The Ramanujam hostel is completely equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi services. Every floor has 4 or more routers to ensure equal distribution of speed to every student.

A very close friend of mine states that you need to login to the Wi-Fi using specific login details and multiple devices can be connected at a time with no lag in the network or speed. 

You can also access files up to some TB from the server. The internet service is available 24*7. You can easily surf web series, movies and etc without any buffer in high quality. Sometimes there is a bit of lag while watching any web series but then it rectifies automatically to ensure your carefree binging.

Some of my friends from school are students of IET Lucknow. According to them, with this rank, you will get a seat in any branch of IET Lucknow. The latest UPSEE cut-off is shown in the following table.

A few years back a friend of mine got admission to the branch of engineering with a rank of 2415 in the general category and a rank of 518 in the OBC category.

So, there’s a good chance that you will get admission at IET Lucknow.

ABES Ghaziabad is a better choice. It is thriving and is now one of the best colleges in the state. The training and placement cell is quite good, bringing in a large number of companies.

Academics:

Among all Aktu colleges, ABES has the finest academic record. However, they are very strict with students in this regard. The first year's results are crucial for college. As a result, first-year students have limited independence.

Location:

ABES is located on NH-24 in Ghaziabad, in a prime location. As a result, there is stronger connectivity with Delhi. This College has an advantage over other government colleges in Aktu because of its position in the Delhi NCR. 

• Students have a lot of resources at their disposal to help them prepare for employment and interviews. 
• NCR has the best gate and coding coaching and Because of their locations in Delhi-NCR, more corporations visit the campus.

Coding Culture:

College seniors are quite helpful. ABES has a better coding culture than other colleges in the NCR.

Placement:

BTech CSE at ABES is really good, the reason being the placements at this college. No matter how hard they grill you for the first three years, the placements & placement cell of this college is quite good and if you are in CSE/IT, consider yourself placed from the first year only.

You simply need to prepare yourself for a larger package because there are a plethora of companies offering packages ranging from 3 lakhs to 13 lakhs per annum and even more. According to the recent placement highlights the highest CTC offered was 8 LPA. All you need to do is enhance your coding skills.

So, I would suggest going with ABES. The institute has A/C classrooms, a positive campus culture, a premium location, and much more. You will definitely have a great time there.

You have to wait till the final counseling takes place which is open for all. In the meantime, you should take admission in any branch you get there and wait for final counseling.

Taking into consideration that HBTI is now not taking admission through UPSEE the first option for students would be IET Lucknow.

Talking about the previous year's closing general rank in CSE was somewhat around 2600. So you can predict the answer to your question.

Check the cut off rank for IET Lucknow:

But you can also opt for EC, EE, EI, CE, and CHE as CS, IT, and ME may get filled earlier. In my opinion, you won't be getting any CSE seats on this rank in IET Lucknow.

My brother is an alumnus of IT IET Lucknow and he was able to give some ideas about the IT branch. Here are some of the factors about the branch which you may find useful. 

The placement scenario changes with every passing year. This all depends on how the IT sector is functioning. But mostly in the IT sector, you can see a rise rather than a downfall. Under normal circumstances, you can expect a job in his hands before passing out from college.

• Top companies such as TCS are the mass recruiter in IET but many more companies like Airtel, Idea, BSNL, Wipro, TCS Digital, etc visit the campus so you can see that opportunities are there. According to the recent placement highlights the median CTC offered to the students is 5 LPA. 
• Moreover, IT is a self-financed branch in IET Lucknow means no permanent faculty and high fees. In IET Lucknow there is no particular department for IT but it is supervised under the CS department.

So, this was a short brief on the branch and I hope it assists you in some way.
