क्या NIT/IIT से बीटेक करने के बाद स्टैनफोर्ड, हार्वर्ड या MIT जैसे विश्वविद्यालयों में जाना संभव है? इस तथ्य को ध्यान में रखते हुए कि अब तक, मेरे पास ऐसे किसी अतिरिक्त पाठ्यक्रम की आवश्यकता नहीं है..यदि हाँ, तो कृपया मुझे पूरी प्रक्रिया बताएं। [एक जेईई ड्रॉपर]

Ans: नमस्ते क्यों। हमारे साथ जुड़ने के लिए धन्यवाद। यह जानकर अच्छा लगा कि आप अपनी आगे की पढ़ाई के लिए यूएसए पर विचार कर रहे हैं। हालाँकि, मैं आपको बता दूँ कि गैर-टियर 1 स्नातक कॉलेजों के लोग नियमित रूप से इन कॉलेजों में स्नातक विद्यालय के लिए प्रवेश लेते हैं। आगे बढ़ते हुए, आप अधिक आईआईटी स्नातकों को एमआईटी या स्टैनफोर्ड में प्रवेश लेते हुए देखते हैं, इसका कारण यह नहीं है कि उन्हें वरीयता मिलती है, बल्कि इसलिए कि वे कम संस्थानों के लोगों की तुलना में अकादमिक रूप से अधिक मजबूत होते हैं, दोनों ही उनकी जन्मजात क्षमता के साथ-साथ पाठ्यक्रम के दौरान उनके द्वारा किए गए प्रयास के संदर्भ में। प्रवेश के लिए महत्वपूर्ण कारक आपका GPA, GRE स्कोर, सिफारिशें, शोध और उद्देश्य का विवरण (SOP) हैं। GPA और GRE को मूल रूप से कटऑफ के रूप में उपयोग किया जाता है, जबकि अन्य मानदंडों का उपयोग यह तय करने के लिए किया जाता है कि कटऑफ के बाद किसे प्रवेश दिया जाए। जब ​​तक आपके पास "आईआईटी छात्र" के समान स्कोर और काम की गुणवत्ता है, तब तक आपको चिंता करने की आवश्यकता नहीं है। ध्यान दें कि चूंकि आपके कॉलेज का पाठ्यक्रम और साथी छात्र आईआईटी के छात्रों की तुलना में बहुत कमजोर होने की संभावना है, इसलिए आपको अपने कॉलेज के अकादमिक से कहीं अधिक करने के लिए खुद पर काम करने की आवश्यकता होगी। ऐसा करने पर, आप IIT प्रोफेसरों के साथ समर इंटर्नशिप प्राप्त कर सकेंगे, जो आपके आवेदन के मामले में आपको IIT छात्रों के समान दर्जा देगा।
वास्तव में, IIT छात्रों का केवल एक छोटा हिस्सा ही MIT या स्टैनफोर्ड में प्रवेश पाता है, क्योंकि जाहिर है, उन सभी के लिए पर्याप्त सीटें नहीं हैं। इसलिए भले ही आप सभी मानदंडों में मजबूत हों, लेकिन भाग्य का एक तत्व है, इसलिए आप शीर्ष 10 कॉलेजों में से कुछ में प्रवेश पाने की उम्मीद कर सकते हैं और अन्य में नहीं। हालाँकि, यदि आप पर्याप्त रूप से अच्छे हैं तो आपको कुछ में प्रवेश अवश्य मिलेगा।

किसी भी अन्य प्रश्न के लिए, कृपया हमसे संपर्क करें। हमारे पास विशेषज्ञ परामर्शदाताओं की एक टीम है जो आपकी किसी भी चिंता या प्रश्न के माध्यम से आपका मार्गदर्शन कर सकती है।

सर, मैं आंशिक ड्रॉपर हूं। मैंने इस साल मेन्स में (97.56%ile) 38293 रैंक हासिल की है। मैं पहले से ही JIT, नोएडा से ECE में बीटेक कर रहा हूं। मुझे जो दिख रहा है, उसके अनुसार मुझे टियर-2 NIT तो मिल सकता है, लेकिन लोअर ब्रांच और JAC में कॉलेज मिलना भी असंभव लगता है, क्योंकि मेरे पास दिल्ली कोटा नहीं है। मेरे लिए आगे का रास्ता क्या होना चाहिए। क्या कोई ऐसा कॉलेज है जो मेरे लिए JIT से बेहतर विकल्प हो सकता है।
Ans: अपने प्रश्न को ध्यान से पढ़ें और विषय-वस्तु पर ध्यान दें।

JEE (मेन) में 97.56 प्रतिशत अंक प्राप्त करने के लिए आपको बधाई।

मेरे सुझाव:

चूंकि आप पहले से ही JIIT (अच्छे निजी विश्वविद्यालयों में से एक) से ECE कर रहे हैं, इसलिए इसे जारी रखना उचित है।

हालाँकि, यहाँ कुछ व्यावहारिक सुझाव / कदम / रणनीतियाँ दी गई हैं जिनका आपको जॉब मार्केट में सक्षम होने और स्नातक होने के बाद अच्छी नौकरी पाने के लिए पालन करना चाहिए:

अपने BTech (ECE) की पढ़ाई करते समय:

1) सुनिश्चित करें कि जब तक आप अपना BTech पूरा नहीं कर लेते, तब तक वह एक अच्छा स्कोर / CGPA / प्रतिशत बनाए रखता है।

2) 2-3 सह-पाठ्यचर्या गतिविधियों के क्लब (अपने डोमेन से संबंधित) में शामिल हों और पाठ्येतर गतिविधियों में भी शामिल हों।

3) यदि आपके पास कोई पेशेवर लिंक्डइन प्रोफ़ाइल नहीं है, तो उसे बनाएँ।

4) समान डोमेन के पेशेवरों से जुड़ें, लेकिन नौकरी के लिए न पूछें (अपने BTech पूरा करने के बाद)। यदि आपकी प्रोफ़ाइल उनकी आवश्यकताओं से मेल खाती है, तो वे आपसे संपर्क करेंगे।
5) हर 3 महीने में, अपनी हालिया उपलब्धियों/प्रमाणपत्रों आदि को जोड़ने के लिए अपने लिंक्डइन प्रोफ़ाइल को अपडेट करते रहें।
6) पिछले 3 वर्षों के दौरान कॉलेज में आने वाली कंपनियों के बारे में शोध करना शुरू करें और उनकी वेबसाइटों के माध्यम से 'करियर' अनुभाग में उनके व्यवसाय/मानवशक्ति की आवश्यकताओं को जानें।
7) सबसे महत्वपूर्ण: जॉब मार्केट में सक्षम होने के लिए अपने डोमेन से संबंधित (पहले वर्ष से ही) ऑनलाइन/ऑफ़लाइन सर्टिफिकेशन कोर्स करना शुरू करें।
8) एनपीटीईएल और इंटर्नशाला कुछ प्रतिष्ठित सर्टिफिकेशन प्लेटफ़ॉर्म हैं जिनसे आप जुड़ सकते हैं। और/या आप अपने कॉलेज में अपने संकायों द्वारा अनुशंसित किसी अन्य सर्टिफिकेशन में शामिल हो सकते हैं।
9) जॉब मार्केट परिदृश्यों/नियोक्ता की अपेक्षाओं के बारे में जानने के लिए, पहले वर्ष से ही अपने डोमेन से संबंधित जॉब-अलर्ट नोटिफिकेशन लिंक्डइन पर डालें।
10) जब तक वह अपना बीटेक (ईसीई) पूरा नहीं कर लेता, तब तक अपने ज्ञान और कौशल को बढ़ाते रहें।
अपने बीटेक (ईसीई) को पूरा करने से ठीक पहले/बाद में:
1) अपने बीटेक को पूरा करने से ठीक पहले, उसे कैंपस रिक्रूटमेंट लिखित परीक्षा / साक्षात्कार / समूह चर्चा, जो भी लागू हो, के लिए अच्छी तरह से तैयारी करनी चाहिए।
2) यदि नियोक्ता/भर्तीकर्ता/कंपनियों द्वारा पोस्ट किया गया जॉब विवरण आपकी प्रोफ़ाइल से मेल खाता है, तो लिंक्डइन जॉब अलर्ट के माध्यम से भी नौकरियों के लिए आवेदन करना शुरू करें।
3) अपना 'रिज्यूम' पेशेवर रूप से तैयार रखें। उसका 'रिज्यूम' आपके डोमेन से संबंधित कीवर्ड के साथ सरल और संक्षिप्त होना चाहिए, जिसमें आपके लिंक्डइन अकाउंट का क्लिक करने योग्य लिंक हो।
4) और, नौकरी मिलने के बाद भी, नौकरी के बाजार में प्रतिस्पर्धी बने रहने के लिए अपने कौशल को अपग्रेड करते रहें।
आशा है कि मैंने मूल्य संवर्धन के साथ आपकी शंकाओं को दूर कर दिया है।
यदि आपको अपने लिए किसी अन्य स्पष्टीकरण की आवश्यकता है या किसी के लिए कोई प्रश्न है, तो अपने प्रश्न (विस्तार से) मुझे पोस्ट करें और/या 'करियर/शिक्षा/नौकरी' के बारे में अधिक जानने के लिए मुझे यहाँ RediffGURU पर फ़ॉलो करें।

RediffGURU की ओर से आपके उज्ज्वल भविष्य के लिए शुभकामनाएँ।

Sir , My son got 97.729 percentile in JEE Mains, He can get the admission any IIT & will get CSE.
Ans: Sir, please advise your Son to check the answer keys of JEE Advanced conducted yesterday to know his score & his approximate All India Rank. This will help you know which IITs he might get for CSE.

Here is, How to Predict Your Chances of Admission into NIT or IIIT or GFTI After JEE Main/Advanced Results – A Step-by-Step Guide

Providing precise admission chances for each student can be challenging. Some reputed educational websites offer ‘College Predictor’ tools where you can check possible college options based on your percentile, category, and preferences. However, for a more accurate understanding, here’s a simple yet effective 9-step method using JoSAA’s past-year opening and closing ranks. This approach gives you a fair estimate (though not 100% exact) of your admission chances based on the previous year’s data.

Step-by-Step Guide to Check Your Admission Chances Using JoSAA Data
Step 1: Collect Your Key Details
Before starting, note down the following details:

Your JEE Main percentile
Your category (General-Open, SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS, PwD categories)
Preferred institute types (NIT, IIIT, GFTI)
Preferred locations (or if you're open to any location in India)
List of at least 3 preferred academic programs (branches) as backups (instead of relying on just one option)
Step 2: Access JoSAA’s Official Opening & Closing Ranks
Go to Google and type: JoSAA Opening & Closing Ranks 2024
Click on the first search result (official JoSAA website).
You will land directly on JoSAA’s portal, where you can enter your details to check past-year cutoffs.
Step 3: Select the Round Number
JoSAA conducts five rounds of counseling.
For a safer estimate, choose Round 4, as most admissions are settled by this round.
Step 4: Choose the Institute Type
Select NIT, IIIT, or GFTI, depending on your preference.
If you are open to all types of institutes, check them one by one instead of selecting all at once.
Step 5: Select the Institute Name (Based on Location)
It is recommended to check institutes one by one, based on your preferred locations.
Avoid selecting ‘ALL’ at once, as it may create confusion.
Step 6: Select Your Preferred Academic Program (Branch)
Enter the branches you are interested in, one at a time, in your preferred order.
Step 7: Submit and Analyze Results
After selecting the relevant details, click the ‘SUBMIT’ button.
The system will display Opening & Closing Ranks of the selected institute and branch for different categories.
Step 8: Note Down the Opening & Closing Ranks
Maintain a notebook or diary to record the Opening & Closing Ranks for each institute and branch you are interested in.
This will serve as a quick reference during JoSAA counseling.
Step 9: Adjust Your Expectations on a Safer Side
Since Opening & Closing Ranks fluctuate slightly each year, always adjust the numbers for safety.
Example Calculation:
If the Opening & Closing Ranks for NIT Delhi | Mechanical Engineering | OPEN Category show 8622 & 26186 (for Home State), consider adjusting them to 8300 & 23000 (on a safer side).
If the Female Category rank is 34334 & 36212, adjust it to 31000 & 33000.
Follow this approach for Other State candidates and different categories.
Pro Tip: Adjust your expected rank slightly lower than the previous year's cutoffs for realistic expectations during JoSAA counseling.

Can This Method Be Used for JEE April & JEE Advanced?
Yes! You can repeat the same steps after your April JEE Main results to refine your admission possibilities.
You can also follow a similar process for JEE Advanced cutoffs when applying for IITs.
