Best CCMT 2026 MTech CSE & Specialization Colleges for GATE Score 395 (OBC-NCL) – Need Counselling List & Suggestions
Hi everyone,
I am preparing for CCMT 2026 counselling and need guidance regarding good colleges for MTech admissions in CSE and CSE-related specialized branches.
My details:
GATE Score: 395
Category: OBC-NCL
Preferred branches:
Computer Science & Engineering (CSE)
AI / Data Science
Cyber Security
Information Security
Software Engineering
Machine Learning
Data Analytics
IoT / Embedded-related CS specializations
I want to prepare a proper counselling list with:
Safe colleges
Moderate chances
Dream colleges
Please suggest:
Best NITs, IIITs, GFTIs, and other CCMT participating institutes possible at this score.
Which specialized branches are easier to get compared to core CSE.
Colleges with good placements and coding culture.
Any colleges that are underrated but good for placements/research.
Previous year cutoff insights if possible.
My preference order is mainly:
Placements > Coding culture > Brand value > Research
If anyone had a similar GATE score/category in previous CCMT rounds, please share your allotment details.
Thanks in advance 🙏
