With the rank, you have secured and the category you belong to, you have good chances of converting any branch except IT or CS at IET Lucknow.

However, it is not quite possible to exactly predict it. Go through all the rounds of counseling and wait for the results.

Since you have a good rank, your chances of making it to some good government college are high.

Honestly, the answer is No. One of my friends was in a similar situation and he did not get admission with a rank closer to this.

With the GNGL rank of 2,500, it would be very difficult for you to get into the chemical engineering program at IET Lucknow. The general rank is way higher.

I would strongly suggest you not settle for any random private college with this rank. It would be better to take a year drop.

However, if you have other options such as JEE Mains, you can try private colleges like LNMIIT, Thapar, etc.

As some of my friends studied at IET Lucknow, I might be able to share some facts and help you with your query.

• Considerably, the rank is slightly lesser than required for securing a position in CSE at IET, Lucknow.
• However, you can undeniably take up any other branch if not CSE, given that your rank can obtain branches other than CSE in IET Lucknow.

Here is a detailed cut off list for various categories in IET Lucknow:

This is the list of branches with their cut-off ranks on the basis of IET Lucknow, alongside CSE.

I have a few friends from IET Lucknow, and here are some tips for you. Yes, you can get into IET Lucknow.

You will need a domicile of yours and your mother or father (of Uttar Pradesh). Only then you can get admitted to a state government college.

The domicile certificate is important as it is an official document provided by the state government to recognize the residence of a citizen. When you will check the AKTU site, check for papers needed for admission there you will get it.

You can take admission in any of the private colleges under AKTU but a domicile certificate is a mandatory thing to join a government college.

Yes, you can undeniably secure a seat at IET Lucknow. Having said that, you can conveniently reserve a seat in either CS or IT at IET Lucknow. Other than that, you can also try obtaining admission at either of these institutes as well, that is, KNIT Sultanpur or BIET Jhansi.

Here is a detailed cut off list, based on each round, followed by IET Lucknow in the year 2020:

So, yes there are chances for you to get into IET Lucknow.

It’s difficult to answer this type of question. In any case, you have to weigh a number of things before making a decision.

• If you believe you were unable to put up your best efforts this year but will be able to do so next year, a drop can be a viable alternative.
• If you decide to take a risk, there's a chance you'll end up with a worse result than you have now. During preparation, you'll have awful days, bad mocks, and pressure from friends and relatives, among other things. You'll also have to keep studying while coping with all of this.
• If you've always pictured yourself as an IIT/NIT student, you might want to reconsider. If coding is something you want to do for the next 5–6 years, CSE at IET Lucknow may be able to assist you. But keep in mind that, despite recent advances, placements at IET remain behind those of several NITs and IITs.

To summarise, spend some time analyzing your likely scores for next year and conducting a study into the opportunities you may have. And whatever you choose, stick to it and work as hard as you possibly can.

One of the most important steps to change your branch would be scoring the highest in your first-year end semester. 

• Before 2020, if you were able to obtain 77% or above then you would definitely have had a chance to change your branch to a better branch such as CS. 
• Usually, students switched their branches from EI and Chemical to Computer Science, Mechanical or Electrical.
• But now if your score is above 8.5 SGPA at the end of your first semester then you are highly likely to gain the opportunity of changing your branch. If a seat is empty for the category of your preferred branch. 
• If you are the kind of student who studies every day with dedication and does not procrastinate until the exam comes, then it would be easy for you to score above 8.5 in your first year. 

Although branch change after the first year hardly takes place you can always give it a try and take a step closer to your goal.

No, your performance should be better than this to get admission into the CSE branch of IET Lucknow.

• The general category faces higher cut-offs while the female category gets around a 5% chance with high ranks with the UPSEE examination.
• If you belong to the ST/SC category then you might get any branch.
• If you belong to the OBC category there are chances of getting an EI or CHE branch.
• Although this rank is also not suitable for their branches as well.
• You will have to prepare hard in the upcoming year for getting the branch of your choice.

The cut offs of CSE branch at IET Lucknow is as follows:
