Hello sir, My son got 78 percentile in JEE and 84 percentile in plus two PCM. With this he is not able to get admission in any govt. College. His interest is in B. Tech cse(AI & ML). I am also not in favour of drop. Now the option is Chitkata chandigarh. He is also getting b.tech. civil in thaper, which is unlikely to upgrade to cse. What are the other option. Please suggest?

Ans: You have tried almost all.

Ans: Hello Rakesh
First and foremost, I would like to commend your son for his earnest efforts in preparing for a range of engineering entrance examinations. His dedication is commendable, even if the outcomes so far haven't aligned with expectations. As you’ve mentioned, he has not yet been able to meet the required cutoff, which understandably may lead to feelings of disappointment or frustration.
However, the journey isn't over. Significant opportunities still lie ahead with BITSAT and IIIT-Hyderabad, both of which are known to be less about difficulty and more about testing strategic thinking and conceptual clarity. It appears that your son may be facing challenges in effectively managing the vast syllabus or might not yet have identified the right approach to tackle these competitive exams. Understanding how to study smartly for such tests often makes all the difference.
It’s important to maintain a positive outlook and avoid negative assumptions at this stage. You haven’t mentioned your financial circumstances, but if your son is determined to pursue fields like Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, or Machine Learning, and if merit-based options don’t materialize, admission through the management quota could be a viable alternative. This route is typically available in reputed private engineering colleges, though it comes with a higher financial commitment.
Before considering this option seriously, I would recommend waiting for the results of all the remaining entrance exams. At the same time, it would be wise to proactively visit a few reputed institutions to inquire about the availability of management quota seats, associated costs, and relevant terms and conditions. Many parents secure such seats early on, anticipating the challenges their child might face in clearing competitive cutoffs.
Stay optimistic, there are still several promising pathways ahead.
Follow me if you like the reply. Thanks

Ans: Hello Sir
if your son has scored this without any prep then he must be having a sharp mind. I don't know why board improvement? His score is decent.
Regarding drop, if he is confident that he can crack JEE-ADV with good rank & get a 99 %ile in mains then it is worth a try.
