My son got 88.58 percentile in ews category in jee mains exam.he wish cse branch and electrical branch.which college we fill in choice filling
Ans: Sangeeta Madam, With an 88.58 percentile in JEE Main (EWS category), your son’s rank is estimated between 135,695–183,105 (General) but significantly lower for EWS due to reservation benefits. For CSE, prioritize newer NITs like NIT Sikkim (2024 EWS cutoff: ~35,000–40,000), NIT Meghalaya (cutoff: ~31,000–38,000), or NIT Manipur (cutoff: ~53,827), which offer feasible admission chances despite moderate placement rates (60–75%). For Electrical Engineering, consider NIT Goa (cutoff: ~6,373–8,104) or NIT Andhra Pradesh (cutoff: ~29,420–34,680), balancing core-sector opportunities (L&T, Tata Steel). IIITs like IIITDM Kancheepuram (Smart Manufacturing cutoff: ~48,128) or IIIT Guwahati (IT cutoff: ~26,817) are viable via vacancy rounds, though CSE remains competitive. During JoSAA counselling, prioritize newer NITs in early rounds and monitor IIIT vacancy rounds for upgrades. If seats are unavailable, explore state colleges (via regional exams) or private universities via management quotas. Confirm branch-specific EWS cutoffs and fee structures during choice filling. All the BEST for your Son's Admission & a Prosperous Future!
