College ranking in the above table is on last CET basis.

Selecting an average course in a better college is superior than selecting a better course in an average college. For example, consider if a B.E., EEE graduate appearing for TANCA, the course choices are wide and the order of preference may be Power Electronics, Power System, and Applied Electronics, he can choose Applied Electronics (though his third priority), in a reputed college rather than Power Electronics (his first priority) in an average college. More preference should be given to the institution than the course. Choosing a college and a course is very vital. Have at least three choices based on your rank. Pick the best course and best college for your rank.
