RAMNARAYAN Asked on - Jun 07, 2025 Hi my son got 20548 rank in jee advance... Please suggest priority order with computer engineer and mechanical engineering
Ans: With a JEE Advanced rank of 20,548, your son has a solid chance of securing admission to a well-regarded engineering program at an IIT or NIT. Based on his interest in Computer Science (CS) and Mechanical Engineering (ME), here’s a suggested priority list:

1. Computer Science at a New/Emerging IIT
At this rank, your son can aim for CS programs in newer IITs such as IIT Indore, IIT Bhilai, IIT Dharwad, or others.

These institutes tend to have more accessible cutoff ranks for CS.

While they are newer, they still offer a quality IIT experience with growing infrastructure and faculty.

Be sure to check the most recent cutoff data to confirm eligibility.

2. Mechanical Engineering at a Top IIT
If CS is the top preference but not feasible at any IIT, consider Mechanical Engineering at one of the older, more established IITs—like IIT Madras, IIT Kanpur, IIT Kharagpur, or IIT Roorkee.

These institutes have long-standing, reputed ME departments.

This is a strong backup option if CS doesn’t work out.

3. Mechanical Engineering at a New IIT
If ME at a top IIT isn’t possible, look into Mechanical Engineering at a newer IIT where your son’s rank would likely be sufficient.

4. Explore NITs (National Institutes of Technology)
If admission to an IIT doesn’t align with his preferences, NITs are excellent alternatives, especially for Computer Science.

Many NITs have very strong CS departments and good placement records.

Check the previous years' cutoffs to target the right options.

Additional Tips:
IIT vs. NIT: IITs are generally more prestigious with better resources and alumni networks, but top NITs—especially for CS—can provide a comparable experience.

Course over College: If your son is truly passionate about Computer Science, it's better to choose CS in a newer IIT or a top NIT rather than settle for another branch in a more established IIT.

JoSAA Counselling: Be sure to register for JoSAA counselling, which will guide the seat allocation process based on your son's rank and preferences.

Review Cutoffs: Use last year’s JoSAA closing ranks to shortlist realistic options.

Interest Matters: If he's undecided between CS and ME, lean toward CS if he enjoys coding, tech, and software-related fields.

Stay Flexible: Keep an open mind while exploring choices. The best decision balances interest, institute reputation, and career prospects.

Hello Sir at 5200 rank in comedk what college we get for btech in bangluru?
Ans: With a COMEDK rank of 5200, you have a good chance of getting into a decent B.Tech program in Bangalore. Here's a general idea of what you can expect:
Possible Colleges:
M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology (MSRIT):
With a rank of 5200, you have a good chance of getting into some of the branches at MSRIT, but you might need to consider less popular options like Mechanical or Civil Engineering.
BMS College of Engineering (BMSCE):
Similar to MSRIT, you may have a decent chance for some branches at BMSCE, but the most competitive ones might be harder to get into with that rank.
Other Colleges:
You might also have a good chance at colleges like RVCE, NMIT, or CMR Institute of Technology, especially if you're interested in less competitive branches like Mechanical or Civil Engineering.
Colleges for Lower Ranks:
For a rank of 5200, colleges like REVA University, Bangalore Institute of Technology, and Dr Ambedkar Institute of Technology (Dr AIT) are also possibilities.
Things to Consider:
Branch Preference:
Your chances of getting into your preferred branch will vary. Some branches, like Computer Science Engineering (CSE), will have higher cutoffs than others.
College Choice:
The cutoffs will also vary slightly between different colleges, so be sure to research the specific cutoff ranks for the programs you're interested in.
Counselling Process:
The final college you get will depend on the counseling process and your choices.
