Sir, my son scored 98.4% in JEE mains general category rank 23k. Based on previous closing ranks he might get civil, metallurgical or production engg in NIT Trichy, integrated maths, physics course in NIT Warangal, ECE in IIITDM kancheepuram. He is yet to write BITSAT. Please suggest which one to choose.

Ans: Priya Madam, With a JEE Main rank of 23,000 (Open category), your son’s viable options include Civil, Metallurgical, or Production Engineering at NIT Trichy (2024 closing ranks: ~24,691–26,669), Integrated M.Sc. in Physics/Mathematics at NIT Warangal (closing ranks up to 22,490–23,183), and ECE at IIITDM Kancheepuram (2024 closing rank: 27,634). While NIT Trichy offers established core engineering programs, these branches may have limited industry demand compared to electronics. NIT Warangal’s integrated sciences provide interdisciplinary flexibility but may require postgraduate specialization for engineering careers. IIITDM Kancheepuram’s ECE program aligns better with emerging tech domains like VLSI and communication systems. If BITSAT yields admission to higher-ranked BITS campuses (e.g., Pilani/Goa) in preferred branches like ECE or CS, it would surpass these options due to brand value and curriculum. However, if BITSAT results are uncertain, prioritize IIITDM Kancheepuram’s ECE for its focused tech curriculum and better alignment with current industry trends over NIT Trichy’s core branches or NIT Warangal’s science programs. All the BEST for your Son's Admission & a Prosperous Future!
