Ans: HI Seetesh,
Little difficulties. Wait for the result.

Ans: HI
Sorry to say.
You are having difficulty scoring basic marks. Instead of struggling and wasting time on this, it might be better to pursue another health-related course like BNYS, B.Pharm, or PharmD.
BEST WISHES.

Reservation Policy
Reservation policies as mandated by the Govt. of India will apply
Scheduled Caste (SC) - 15% of seats
Scheduled Tribe (ST) - 7.5% of seats
Other Backward Classes belonging to the Non-Creamy Layer (OBC-NCL) - 27% of seats
Persons with Disability (PwD) with at least 40% impairment - 5% of seats (horizontal, within the same category)
Kashmiri Migrants/Kashmiri Pandit/Kashmiri Hindu Families (Non-Migrants) - 3 seats per IISER (supernumerary)
Economically Weaker Section (EWS) - up to 10% (as per Government of India rules)

So reservation is based on category-wise and not gender specific.

Ans: Saatvik, Choosing between SRM Kattankulathur (KTR) CSE, Chitkara CSE, and UPES Dehradun CSE depends on institutional reputation and placement consistency. SRM KTR leads with 93% placements, 980+ recruiters (Amazon, Microsoft), and robust infrastructure (NAAC A++), ideal for tech roles despite moderate average packages. UPES Dehradun offers 96% placements with strong industry alignment (IBM, Accenture) and specialized tech tracks, though core opportunities vary. Chitkara CSE reports 98% placements (Adobe, Deloitte) but focuses on IT roles with fewer core tech recruiters. Prioritize SRM KTR for its vast recruiter network and campus diversity, UPES for niche industry ties, and Chitkara if regional accessibility matters. My suggestion: Prefer UPES, followed by Chitkara & then SRM-KTR. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: With a JEE Main rank of 47,428 (General, Karnataka), securing CSE in top NITs (e.g., NIT Surathkal, Trichy) is unlikely, as their 2024 cutoff ranges for CSE were 1,423–16,177 (OS quota). However, newer NITs like NIT Arunachal Pradesh (CSE cutoff: ~22,580–47,057) or NIT Mizoram (CSE cutoff: ~28,174–50,571) may offer seats in later rounds if cutoffs drop marginally. For non-CSE branches, Civil/Mechanical Engineering at NIT Goa (cutoff: ~36,894–57,268) or NIT Meghalaya (Mechanical cutoff: ~33,505–42,335) are feasible. Prioritize ECE/IT at NIT Silchar (ECE cutoff: ~15,236–21,169) or NIT Uttarakhand (IT cutoff: ~24,340) if tech roles are preferred. Explore state colleges via KCET (e.g., UVCE, BIT Bengaluru) for CSE opportunities or consider upgrading via CSAB special rounds. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Vishal, The Integrated M.Tech programs at VIT Chennai and Vellore are 5-year courses combining UG and PG studies, admitting students based on Class 12 PCM marks (60–70% aggregate) without entrance exams. Vellore offers CSE collaborations with Virtusa, Data Science, and Software Engineering, while Chennai focuses on Data Science and Software Engineering, both emphasizing industry-aligned curricula (AI/ML, IoT, DevOps). Placements for integrated students mirror B.Tech, with 70–90% placement rates at VIT Vellore/Chennai via recruiters like Amazon, Microsoft, and TCS, though workload is heavier due to extra credits. Infrastructure is robust (modern labs, Wi-Fi), but hostel reviews vary. While VIT’s programs suit those seeking early specialization and industry roles, compare with IIIT Bangalore’s integrated courses (higher placements but stricter entry) or traditional B.Tech+M.Tech pathways for research flexibility. Prioritize VIT if immediate tech-sector readiness aligns with goals, considering campus-specific specializations and workload tolerance. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Rakesh, Choosing between Symbiosis Nagpur CSE, DTU Biotechnology, Jaypee ECE, and VIT Chennai Mechanical depends on career goals and institutional strengths. Symbiosis Nagpur CSE offers 75% placements with IT giants like TCS and Amazon, ideal for direct tech roles, though it’s a newer institute with moderate infrastructure. DTU Biotechnology provides ~41% placements in niche sectors (pharma, research) and strong institutional reputation (NIRF #27), suited for academia/R&D but limited core opportunities. Jaypee ECE boasts 88% placements with roles in embedded systems and IT, leveraging its Noida location and industry ties (Adobe, Samsung). VIT Chennai Mechanical reports 75–95% placements, though primarily in core sectors (Mahindra, Mercedes), requiring upskilling for IT roles. Prioritize Jaypee ECE for balanced branch-college synergy, Symbiosis CSE for immediate tech entry, DTU Biotech for research/govt. prestige, or VIT Mechanical if core engineering aligns with interests. Verify branch-specific opportunities and institutional support for career flexibility. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
