@Mom2aphysicsgeek, it is common sense. The demand to do Engg or CS is higher at GTECH than for the other streams. Higher caliber folks apply to these streams and therefore the cutoff is expected to be higher. It does not require specific statements from GTECH as this practice is commonly followed by other elite Engg. streams at state schools (UTA, UIUC, UMich, etc.) as well. I wish GTECH would openly declare the stats of their Engg. or CS school admits and put this question to rest.
