My daughter got 94.93 percentile in JEE Mains. She is an OBC candidate.What are the preferences we should give priority to?She is also giving BITSAT a try. What should we prefer: NITs, IIITs or BITS?
Ans: Keerthana, For CSE/ECE, target NIT Trichy (CSE OBC-OS: 8,241–8,996; ECE OBC-OS: 3,080–3,546), NIT Surathkal (CSE OBC: 499–9,918), NIT Calicut (ECE OBC-HS: 11,853–14,647), NIT Durgapur (CSE OBC-OS: 3,182; ECE OBC-OS: 4,631), and NIT Raipur (CSE OBC-OS: 3,382–3,917; ECE OBC-OS: 4,631). CSE remains highly competitive, with cutoffs significantly lower for ECE across institutes. For example, NIT Trichy ECE (OBC-OS: 3,080–3,546) and NIT Raipur ECE (OBC-OS: 4,631) are more accessible. NIT Calicut offers ECE at OBC-HS ranks up to 14,647, while NIT Durgapur’s ECE (OBC-OS: 4,631) is viable. Prioritize ECE at NIT Trichy/Surathkal for reputation or CSE at NIT Raipur/Durgapur if rank aligns. Home State (HS) quotas (e.g., NIT Trichy CSE-HS: 11,196–20,185) may require higher ranks. Overall, focus on ECE in mid-tier NITs or CSE in newer NITs based on cutoff alignment. Please note, BITS needs minimum 290 marks to get admission to any one of the branches/campuses. All the best for your admission and a bright future!
