- 3IIITs like IIIT Allahabad and IIIT Delhi have strong CSE placement and lower cutoffs than top NITs.
- 4GFTIs (BIT Mesra, IIEST Shibpur) are excellent safety options with decent placement records.
- 5Fill a minimum of 30–50 choice combinations. Most students who miss out filled fewer than 20 choices.
