Sir, my son got 92% in 12 cbse this year. And 96.2%ile in jee mains(crl rank=56464,ews rank=7944). He cracked VIT also (rank=18438).He is interested in cs branch.He is 17 year old(7-11-2007). Should he drop 1 year for IIT or take admission in VIT. Kindly guide. He is in confusion.

Ans: With a 95 percentile in the MHT CET, especially within the NTD (likely referring to a specific category like "Other Backward Classes") category, you have good chances of securing admission to a decent range of colleges for various engineering branches, including IT and ENTC. You can likely get into colleges like VIT Pune, Cummins College, or other similar tier-2 institutions for IT and ENTC. For more competitive branches like Computer Science (CS) at Cummins, it might be more challenging but still possible, especially in later rounds of counseling.

Ans: For Computer Science Engineering (CSE), both Manipal Institute of Technology, Bangalore (MIT) and Mahindra University Hyderabad are strong contenders. Manipal has a longer established reputation and is located in a major tech hub (Bangalore), which can be advantageous for placements and internships. Mahindra University, while newer, has a strong focus on futuristic technologies and industry connections. The best choice depends on individual priorities and preferences, such as location, curriculum, and specific career goals.

Ans: The Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology offers a four-year B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering (Avionics) with an annual intake of 60 students, integrating core ECE, avionics systems and mandatory ISRO/DOS internships from the third year. The curriculum spans signal processing, RF/microwave communications, control systems, VLSI and embedded systems, supported by state-of-the-art labs and faculty with aerospace expertise. Over the last three years, ECE (Avionics) placements achieved between 57% and 100%, with direct absorption into ISRO centres for CGPA?eligible students and 38–48 non-ISRO offers across recruiters like TCS, Mahindra and Intel. Graduates typically secure roles in satellite communication, radar systems, VLSI design and embedded applications, and are well-prepared for higher studies in RF engineering, signal processing or avionics.

Recommendation: Pursue B.Tech ECE at IIST Thiruvananthapuram for its specialized avionics focus, high ISRO absorption potential and robust placement consistency, ensuring strong career pathways in aerospace electronics and communications. Please note, ISRO Recruitment Policy Changes Every Year for IIST Students. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Hello Rakesh,
Your daughter has a strong chance of getting a seat in GMC, which may hopefully be one of your preferred colleges. I think there is no need to consider engineering options when a medical option is available. However, if you are not satisfied, then keep the other option open.
Best of luck.

Ans: Hello Shaziafarheen
Here are some points you can work on:
(1) Focus more on self-study. (2) Prepare concise notes. (3) Gather the necessary materials from all sources, whether physical or digital. (4) Attend all lectures at college. (5) Use quality free online resources- YouTube: Physics Wallah, Apni Kaksha, Mohit Tyagi, MathonGo, Vedantu JEE, Unacademy JEE (free lectures), etc. (6) Follow standard books. A list can be generated with the help of college teachers. (7) Make a realistic daily schedule. (8) Solve previous year papers. (9) Take mock tests regularly conducted by college and through paid online platforms. (10) Find a mentor or online study group. (11) Focus on conceptual clarity over rote learning. (11) Stay consistent and avoid burnout. (12) Develop self-confidence. (13) Seek the help of college teachers to resolve your difficulties from time to time. (14) Consider joining some private tutors only for difficulty solving.
Nothing is impossible in the world. There are numerous examples where students achieved success without the help of coaching or mentors under adverse conditions. Best of luck to your son.
