My son scored 99.586 percentile in JEE Mains and is expecting around 121 marks in JEE Advanced. What courses is he likely to get through JoSAA counselling?

Ans: With a 99.586 percentile in JEE Mains and an expected 121 marks in JEE Advanced 2025, your son is positioned around the 6,000–7,000 rank range, comfortably above the qualifying cutoff. While admission to the most competitive branches like CSE or ECE at top IITs (Bombay, Delhi, Madras) is unlikely at this rank, he has strong chances for these branches at mid-tier IITs such as IIT Guwahati, IIT Roorkee, IIT Hyderabad, and IIT BHU, where closing ranks for CSE and ECE are typically in this range. Core branches like Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, and Chemical Engineering are accessible at most IITs within this rank bracket, including at premier IITs. Newer IITs offer even broader branch availability, including CSE and ECE, making them attractive options. It is advisable to prioritize branches based on interest and career goals, balancing core and emerging interdisciplinary fields. Participating actively in JoSAA counselling with a well-planned preference list will maximize admission chances. Recommendation: Aim for CSE or ECE at mid-tier IITs and core branches at top IITs. Keep newer IITs and interdisciplinary branches as strong backup options to ensure the best possible seat and career trajectory. Have BITSAT also as one of the back-ups, if fee is affordable for you. To know about JoSAA Counselling process in detail, and if time permits, please watch one of the EduJob360 YouTube Videos. All the best for your son's admission and a bright future!
