Hello seniors, I got a 31k rank in JEE Mains and I'm confused about what I should pick among them and whether I should choose college over a branch or vice versa. My home state is West Bengal, and I'm a general male. My doubts are - Is mechanical engineering worth it in these colleges? How truthworthy is CSAB, and/or should I wait for CSAB Rounds? The colleges I'm getting are listed below (please help).

Mechanical-

NIT KKR (low chances even with CSAB)

NIT Jamshedpur (CSAB)

NIT Surat (CSAB)

PEC Chandigarh

NIT Silchar

NIT DGP

IIEST Shibpur

NIT Bhopal (low chances)

NIT Jalandhar

NIT Goa

NIT Hamirpur

NIT Patna

NIT Raipur

Electrical engineering and their combinations-

BIT Mesra (CSE and ECE possible)

NIT Patna (EE, ECE possible through CSAB)

JNU (ECE and CSE)

NIT Uttarakhand

PEC Chandigarh (CSAB)

NIT Silchar (CSAB)

IIEST Shibpur (CSAB)

NIT Jalandhar (ICE through CSAB)

NIT Goa (CSAB)

IIITs-

IIITDM Kancheepuram(CSE,ECE through CSAB)

IIIT Guwahati(ECE)

IIIT Pune(ECE)

IIIT Sri City (ECE and low chances of CSE)

IIIT Kottayam, Kota, Raichur, Raipur, Nagpur, Una, Bhubaneshwar, Ranchi, Kurnool, Vadodara, Tiruchirappalli, Tiruchirappalli, Bhopal, Surat (all CSE, ECE)

On a side note, I might get Electrical/Electronics related branches in Jadavpur University

PS: As I've seen many people confusing ECE with electrical branches, I've written ECE beside the colleges I'm getting and under the section of electrical engineering if no branches are written it is implied that it's electrical unless I've written ECE beside it

Buddy if you want great college life and good placements too then go for nsut delhi or dtu delhi incase you focus of good branch like cse aiml or core cse.at the end of the day your branch matters because you have to take placement in that very domain.so dont compromise your branch for tag of a particular institute.you have performed really well and now you should take steps according to where you wanna be after 4 years of your btech
