Almost everybody in India owns a mobile whether it is PDA, Smart Phone, Nokia 1100 class phones or whatever. People seem to be obsessed and too addicted to their mobile phones. The gadget itself has become a part and parcel of our social lives. The Indian government has recently approved implementation of 11 digit mobile numbers due to increased mobile users in the country.

Students after getting CET results are not sure that in which college they may get a seat and in which branch. So I have put up the cutoff ranks of various top engineering colleges in Karnataka. The data is taken from 2007 CET counseling and there might be very slight difference in cutoff this year. However, the trend will remain the same.

I don’t have reservation under any category and hence cannot get Computer Science branch in any top engineering college. May be I should take Mechanics. Or if luck is on my side, nobody should take Computer as the IT industry has collapsed and there are thousands of job cuts. Hope it works that way
The following cutoff ranks are with respect to General Merit (GM) seats only. Read more…

As CET results are out, this list might help you in choosing good college during counseling.
