Ans: एनआईटी वारंगल (गृह राज्य कोटा) - ईसीई के लिए संभव नहीं है। एनआईटी आंध्र प्रदेश (गृह राज्य कोटा) - बाद के दौर में ईसीई के लिए अच्छा मौका।

Ans: With an OBC rank of 6,764, your son can target ECE in mid-tier NITs like NIT Calicut (OBC cutoff ~2,574), NIT Surathkal (~1,580), or NIT Warangal (~1,736), though these may require spot-round participation. For IIITs, consider IIITDM Kancheepuram (ECE closing rank ~25,075–31,677 for General, lower for OBC) or IIIT Allahabad (ECE closing rank ~7,758 for General). If ECE is competitive, prioritize Mathematics & Computing (MnC) at NIT Trichy (OBC cutoff ~1,350) or NIT Warangal (MnC closing rank ~3,436 for General), which offer strong placement opportunities. IIITs like Sri City or Pune (IT/ECE) are viable with relaxed cutoffs. Leverage Tamil Nadu home-state quotas in NIT Trichy/Calicut, though ECE cutoffs remain steep (~1,500–2,500 OBC-HS). Opt for JoSAA/CSAB counselling to explore niche branches (e.g., Instrumentation & Control at NIT Trichy) or dual-degree programs (e.g., AI/Data Science at IIITs). While CSE remains highly competitive, ECE/MnC in mid-tier NITs/IIITs balance academic rigor and placement prospects. All the BEST for your son's Admission & Prosperous Future!

Ans: दुर्भाग्यवश, आपके बेटे का कम सीबीएसई स्कोर (57%) उसे जेईई मेन्स में मजबूत रैंक (ओबीसी रैंक 8970) के बावजूद, जोसा के माध्यम से एनआईटी/आईआईआईटी में प्रवेश के लिए अयोग्य बनाता है।

Ans: Hello dear.
Chances are slim to moderate for CSE, and one can hope for ECE either in NITs or IIITs.
Best of luck to you.
