SOE has a low pass percentage .... but it takes more students from the sections of the society which need upliftment ,.,,,.. i'm not trying to offend anyone ... please dont misunderstand this .... but someone having rank more than 10000 or 12000 is a bit weak academically ... nevertheless ... what matter is the job in hand .... and SOE gives better placements which is the most important thing at the end of the 4 years
