My Son got 15600 CRL rank and 3800 OBC NCL in Jee Advance. did we expect any IIT for that category rank, if not please suggest me some thing similar
thanks in advance
Ans: Veeru, With a JEE Advanced OBC-NCL rank of 3,800, admission to core branches (CSE, ECE, Mechanical) at premier IITs (Delhi, Bombay, Madras) is unattainable, as their 2024 OBC-NCL cutoffs for these programs ranged from 1,000–2,500. However, newer IITs like IIT Jammu (Civil Engineering: OBC closing rank 5,360), IIT Bhilai (Metallurgical Engineering: 7,797), and IIT Goa (Mechanical: 5,565) are feasible, albeit with lower placement rates (65–75%) in core sectors. For Electrical Engineering, IIT Mandi (OBC cutoff: 4,112) and IIT Palakkad (4,625) are borderline options, contingent on seat availability in later JoSAA rounds.
Recommendation: Prioritize Civil/Metallurgical Engineering at IIT Jammu/Bhilai during JoSAA counselling, leveraging institutional prestige despite niche specializations. For balanced industry-academia pathways, target ECE at NIT Trichy (OBC cutoff: 3,690) or IT at IIITDM Jabalpur (2,708), which report 85–90% placement rates in embedded systems and IT roles. If open to interdisciplinary fields, Material Science at IIT Hyderabad (OBC cutoff: 4,500) or Engineering Physics at IIT Gandhinagar (5,331) offer research-driven curricula. For backups, explore state universities like Jadavpur University (non-JEE seats) or DTU/NSUT via JEE Main counselling, ensuring robust tech-sector opportunities. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
