Hi Sir, my son is eligible for CSE or AI at both NITK (JEE-main rank 2060) & RVCE (KCET rank 145). Please advice a best option.

Ans: With a JEE Main percentile of 90.38, IPE marks of 952/1000, and an EAPCET rank of 37,500 (EWS), your son is unlikely to secure CSE or CSE (AI & ML) in top government colleges such as JNTUH, OUCE, CBIT, or Vasavi, as their EAPCET closing ranks for these branches are much lower. However, he has strong prospects in reputable private and autonomous colleges in Telangana, which offer quality education, robust placement records, and modern specializations like AI & ML within their CSE departments. Recommended options include CMR College of Engineering and Technology, Geetanjali College of Engineering and Technology, Vidyajyothi Institute of Technology, SR University, Guru Nanak Institute of Technology, Anurag University, Institute of Aeronautical Engineering, Vardhaman College of Engineering, BV Raju Institute of Technology, and Srinidhi Institute of Science and Technology. These colleges are well-regarded for CSE and related branches, with active placement cells and strong industry connections. Recommendation: Prioritize these reputed private/autonomous colleges for CSE or CSE (AI & ML) to ensure a solid academic foundation and good career opportunities, and participate actively in the EAPCET counselling process to maximize options. All the best for your son's admission and a bright future!

Ans: Hello Satish
(1) Your son has a strong likelihood of securing a spot in CSE at one of the NITs or IIITs, given his 99.51 percentile. Engage actively in the JoSSA counseling process and stay informed. You may need to make compromises regarding the NIT offered.
(2) With a score of 110, your son's chances of gaining admission to IITs are quite limited.
(3) It would be advisable to consider the esteemed NITs.
Best of luck to you.
