Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Technology

The EAMCET, 2015 for the
engineering stream has now concluded. We continue to guide you on the various
colleges that admit students on the basis of their performance in the EAMCET.
One of the most common queries that students have is the likely cutoff for selection
to various colleges. Which are the different colleges that I may get selected
to? What is the minimum score needed for selection to a highly reputed branch
at a top college? These questions trouble every single student (and their
parents). Accordingly, we bring to you this series of articles on colleges that
select students on the basis of their performance in the Andhra Pradesh EAMCET
(Engineering and Medical Common Entrance Test). In these articles, we take a
look at the opening and closing ranks for admissions to these colleges in
2013-14. These articles would give you a brief idea of the expected opening and
closing ranks in 2015-16.

The EAMCET is conducted for
entry to various professional degree courses in the state of Andhra Pradesh.
Various universities of Andhra Pradesh give admission to students in courses
related to medical, engineering and agriculture on the basis of their
performance in this exam. The Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education
(APSCHE) organizes the EAMCET in affiliation with Jawaharlal Nehru
Technological University (JNTU).

Engineering aspirants taking
the EAMCET need to answer a total of 160 questions on Physics, Chemistry and
Mathematics. The test involves no negative marking. The question paper is
available in English and Urdu. However, only candidates from the Hyderabad
centre can avail the question paper in Urdu.

In this particular
article we take a look at Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Technology. The institute was established in 1997 and is spread
across a sprawling 30 acres campus .It is approved by the AICTE and is
affiliated to JNTU, Hyderabad.

This college offers
undergraduate programs in Civil engineering, Computer Science &
Engineering, Electronics & Communication engineering, Electrical &
Electronics engineering, Information Technology, Mechatronics, Metallurgy &
Material engineering and Mechanical engineering.

The Computer Science &
Engineering and the Electronics & Communication engineering departments
admit 180 students per year while the departments of Civil engineering,
Electrical & Electronics engineering and Mechanical engineering have an
approved intake of 120 students per year. Rest of the departments of
engineering have an approved intake of 60 students every year.

Let us take a look at the opening
ranks and closing ranks for admission to this institute last year :

Course                                                     Opening Rank   Closing Rank

Civil Engineering                                             13137               81367

Computer Science & Engineering                 11511                80257

Electronics & Communication Engg             9428               64756

Electrical & Electronics Engineering             13349              85388

Information Technology                                15804             140193

Mechatronics                                                  15761             200305

Mechanical Engineering                                9275              82481

Metallurgy & Material Engineering              35895            214292

The closing ranks for admissions to the institute in 2015 are expected to hover in the same range.
