क्या मेरी बेटी (95.1% टाइल, ओबीसी) एनआईटी सुरथकल में सीएसई प्राप्त करेगी?

Ans: First step would be to secure a job as you will have some job experience in case you plan to do a job at a later stage. Secondly do post graduation in area of your interest. If you are not sure then can do MBA. But your gap years may create problem at later stage to get a job. So would recommend you to do some short term job oriented courses and look out for a job.

Ans: Look at what area you are interested in and can pursue accordingly. If you are not sure then can pursue MBA as it will give you more options regarding job including in IT or Data Science.

Ans: Can do either. For India JEE could have a higher chance of success as Sports does face some bottle neck in the future. Focussing on sports could lower your academic scores which could create problem in getting admission to B school. Though I had a students who was pursuing professional sports and did graduation through distance learning due to which he had bad acads. He still managed to secure admission to XLRI Delhi one of the top 10 MBA colleges in India.

Ans: Hi
More chances are there for ECE.

Ans: Since there is a tie up with industry so it should be a job oriented course. For placements do contact the students of that college.

Ans: Getting a job with CS or ICWA looks difficult as age is not on your side. Instead do some short term job oriented courses and try and secure a job first.

Ans: With a 98.67 percentile (JEE Main AIR ~14,000–15,000), your son can secure CSE/IT at IIIT Gwalior (2024 cutoff: 11,529–16,478 for CSE) and lower-ranked IIITs like Lucknow (CSE cutoff: 8,941–12,732) or Pune (CSE cutoff: 16,245–24,690), which offer stronger tech placement opportunities compared to Electrical at mid-tier NITs (e.g., NIT Durgapur’s Electrical Engineering: AIR 19,559–23,223) or Civil/Mechanical in top NITs (e.g., NIT Trichy Mechanical: AIR 8,405–9,305). Prioritize CSE at IIIT Gwalior due to its robust industry ties (avg. package: ?18–22 LPA) and proximity to Bareilly (6-hour drive). Alternatively, NIT Allahabad/Calicut’s Electrical Engineering (2024 cutoff: ~25,000–30,000 AIR) provides broader core engineering prospects but lower tech-sector alignment. For location convenience, IIIT Lucknow (CSE: 8,941 AIR) is within Uttar Pradesh, though newer, with growing placements. Weigh branch passion, institute reputation, and placement data—CSE in mid-IIITs often outperforms non-CSE in top NITs for tech careers. All the BEST for your son's Admission & Prosperous Future!

Ans: Can decide based on location. Both are good colleges. Delhi is known for its Economics Education. Christ Bangalore is known for its undergraduate courses.

Ans: Based on NIT Durgapur’s 2024 Home State cutoffs, a JEE Main rank of 39,417 falls below Mechanical Engineering’s closing rank of 27,957 (Round 5), making admission unlikely, though Civil Engineering (closing rank 38,799–51,650) is feasible. For IIEST Shibpur, Mechanical Engineering’s 2024 Home State cutoff was 35,986, suggesting marginal eligibility, while Civil (closing rank 49,591) is probable. BITS Mesra’s Electrical Engineering typically requires ranks under 30,000, making it competitive, but institutional quotas may offer pathways. NIT Kurukshetra’s Civil Engineering (OS cutoff 39,314) is accessible. Future prospects favor Mechanical/Electrical for broader opportunities in automation, renewables, and tech, while Civil offers stable infrastructure roles; IIEST’s brand strength enhances placement potential across branches. All the BEST for your son's Admission & Prosperous Future!
