Rupsa, Content Team

Dear Student,

Agar aap ka GATE score 530 hain, to NIT Durgapur, IIIT Bihar aur IITDM Kurnool mein Data Science & Artificial Intelligence course ke liye admission mil sakta hain. Agar aap OPEN Category se belong karte hain, toh NIT Durgapur mein aap ko shayad admission na mile, but OBC-NCL/ EWS ategory mein admission mil sakti hain. Aap doosre NIT colleges accepting GATE score 500-600 bhi check kar sakte hain. Unfortunately, GATE score 530 pe aap ko kisi bhi IIT mein admission nahi milegi. 

We hope this answers your query. Good luck!

Dear Sir/ Ma'am,

As per the eligibility criteria set by the JNTUH authority, to be eligible as a local candidate for the TS EAMCET, all students are required to have completed their 10+2 level education from the Board of Intermediate Education, Telangana. Therefore, since your son has not done his Intermediate/ 10+2 from a school affiliated with the Board of Intermediate Education, Telangana, he does not meet the TS EAMCET 2025 eligibility criteria and cannot sit for the entrance exam. However, you can explore other similar exams for which your son will be eligible such as the AP EAMCET 2025 …
