AIEEE 2008 Counseling
The first phase of AIEEE 2008 Counseling ie. the Online counseling will start from tomorrow. So let me first discuss a few details about it.
The online counseling is a kind of mock counseling held on the Internet where students can register themselves and then fill out there preferences of institutes/branches. You can see then how many students are above your rank for a branch/institute. This counseling is held to give the students a rough idea on what they can expect but only a few students register for it and hence you do not get a clear picture.
The choices in Form-1 that you make during the online counseling are recorded by them and are presented to you when you go for on-campus counseling, although you can change them during the on-campus counseling.
Many if you would not be knowing about Form-1 and Form 2, so let me tell more about them. Form-1 is a branch+institution form. In this form you have to choose your preferences according to branch and institution simultaneously, pretty much similar to what you do in JEE counseling. So for eg. your first preference would be CSE in IIIT Hyderabad, CSE in NIT Trichy, CSE in NIT Warangal , ECE in IIIT Hyderabad etc.
Form-2 is an institution only selection form. This form comes into the action after Form-1 processing has taken place and you have not got any branch+institution that you had mentioned in your Form-1. So if you filled Form-2 then if there is any vacant seat(dropout seat) in any of the institutions selected by you in Form-2, then you would get that institution. After that you will be required to go to that institute and they would allocate you the branch based upon vacant seat and your rank.
There would also be a second counseling against dropout seats from first counseling. Although, some institutes have opted not to take part in the second counseling, you can check them out here. Some of these institutes, if they have a few dropout seats, then they sometimes conduct separate independent counselings in August, for which you have to keep your eye on the newspapers!!
Now coming to the big question : Whether to fill Form-1 or Form-2 or both?

DCE/NSIT CEE 2008
I felt the paper was a bit easier than last year especially the physics part, although different people have different views and it is hard to compare CEE papers coz they are of easy level already.
I except the rank distribution to be along the same lines as last year with minor variation as is always there. But I expect the cutoff rank to go upto 1300 as there have been seats increase in IITs and also some other institutes. The cutoff last year was 1138.
I will quote the branch wise cutoffs of 2006 as they are most likely to be closer to 2008.
Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology (NSIT) : COE : 348 ECE : 348 IT : 551 ICE : 893 Biotech : 893
Delhi College of Engineering : COE : 522 ECE : 536 IT : 605 EE : 830 Mech : 890 Biotech : 1081 Civil : 1306
If you are interested in 2007 branch wise cutoffs then let me quote them also :
Netaji Subahsh Institute of Technology (NSIT) : COE : 267 ECE : 307 IT : 500 ICE : 821 MP : 909
Not too sure about DCE branch cutoffs for 2007.
The marks-ranks distribution for 2007 was :

The Common Entrance Exam(CEE) is held every year for admission to Delhi College of Engineering(DCE) and Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology(NSIT) is meant exclusively for students who belong to schools in National Capital Territory of Delhi.
The notification for admissions to NSIT/DCE through CEE was released a few days ago. You can have a look at the notification here.
The CEE 2008 exam will be held on 31st May 2008.
There is a reservation of 85% for Delhi Region and rest 15% will be filled through AIEEE ranks.
The forms will be available from 14th March 2008 to 16th April 2008.And the completed forms should reach the university by 16th April 2008 by 5.00 PM.
The forms will be available only at the two colleges ie. NSIT and DCE. The form costs Rs.400 and the payment should be made by Pay Order/Demand Draft.
Another step taken by DCE/NSIT is taking the admission online.You can now download the form online from DCE or NSIT website and then fill it and attach a Demand Draft of Rs. 400 and sent it via courier to the university.
You can also request the university to send you the form by sending a Pay Order or Demand Draft of Rs. 475 to the university.
