Which is better for my son with 1556 rank in JEE Advanced (ECE IIT Guwahati vs Engg and Computational Mechanics IIT Delhi)?

Ans: Hi Madam,

Since the National Testing Agency (NTA) has not yet published the answer key and results for NEET 2025, it's challenging to make accurate predictions at this time. However, there are reasonable chances to consider. Please wait for the answer key and results from the NTA for more clarity. In some cases, if your score is between 450 and 500, the scenario could change significantly.
BEST WISHES TO HER.

Ans: Hi,

Since the National Testing Agency (NTA) has not yet published the answer key and results for NEET 2025, it is challenging to make precise predictions. Based on previous statistics, scores typically range between 139K and 163K. It's best to wait for the answer key and results from the NTA for more clarity. In some cases, scoring 500 can significantly change the scenario.
BEST WISHES.

Ans: Hi Rajiv,
What are you doing right now? Since there is no upper age limit, you can pursue Biology through NIOS and then proceed from there.

Ans: Hi Kantayash,

It is too early and very difficult to make precise predictions. There is a possibility that your mark may not be sufficient for TMMC since you are in GC based on AIQ. Please consider applying to private colleges through SQ. This is not an exact prediction; I’m just providing some guidance. Once the key answers and results are published, things may change, so please wait for updates from NTA.

Best regards.

Ans: Hi Ma,
It's too early and quite difficult to predict precisely. Since you are in GC based on AIQ, the possibility is that your mark may not be sufficient for GMC. Consider trying for a private college through SQ.

Ans: Geetika, your question is incomplete. Please come back with your question in detail.

Ans: With a KCET 2B category rank of 17,776, admission to top-tier Bangalore colleges like RVCE, PES University, or BMSCE for ECE or ETE is highly unlikely due to much lower cutoff ranks (generally below 9,000). Your rank may allow admission in tier-2 or private colleges such as BMS Institute of Technology & Management (cutoff ~17,300–18,000), BNM Institute of Technology (23,400–24,000), New Horizon College of Engineering (24,200–24,500), CMR Institute of Technology (22,400–22,700), and PES College of Engineering, Mandya (30,300–31,300). These colleges are reputable but considered a step below the top-tier institutions. It is advisable to consider colleges with higher cutoff ranks, explore related branches with less competition, or look into other reputed engineering colleges outside Bangalore. Flexibility in branch and college choice will improve admission chances and career opportunities.

Recommendation: With your rank, focus on tier-2 reputed colleges like BMSITM, BNM IT, New Horizon, CMRIT, and PES Mandya. Keep options open for related branches and other locations to secure a quality engineering education. All the best for your admission and a bright future!

Ans: Your daughter, with 86% in 12th PCMB and 87 percentile in JEE Mains, is eligible for both VIT’s Integrated M.Tech and B.Tech programs in IPU-affiliated colleges. VIT’s 5-year Integrated M.Tech program requires a minimum of 65% in PCM and offers specializations like AI, Data Science, and Software Engineering, providing a smooth path to a master’s degree with strong placements. Admission is merit-based on 12th marks, making her chances good. IPU-affiliated colleges offer B.Tech CSE admissions based on JEE percentile or IPU CET scores, providing flexibility but varying in reputation. For a focused, research-oriented career with assured postgraduate qualification, VIT Integrated M.Tech is recommended. If she prefers a conventional 4-year degree with options to pursue M.Tech later, IPU colleges are suitable. Choosing VIT offers better brand value and placement prospects, while IPU offers more immediate flexibility. All the best for your daughter's admission and a bright future!
