Sir, my son has cleared 12th with 82% has secured 98.89 percentile with CRL 17171 in JEE Mains. His interest is in CSE/ECE and Research career.
Please suggest suitable NIT or IIIT.
I don't want to drop this year
Ans: Aditya Sir, With a JEE Main CRL of 17,171 (98.89 percentile) and 82% in Class 12, your son can target ECE at mid-tier NITs like NIT Silchar (ECE cutoff ~17,300), NIT Durgapur (~18,800), NIT Patna (~20,300), or NIT Raipur (~21,300), which offer strong academic reputations and research infrastructure. For CSE/IT, consider newer IIITs such as IIIT Lucknow (IT cutoff ~15,274), IIIT Pune (CSE ~13,000), IIITDM Kancheepuram (AI ~18,702), or IIIT Bhagalpur (CSE ~32,560), which focus on specialized domains like AI and data science. For research-oriented paths, explore integrated M.Tech programs at IIIT Allahabad (closing rank ~9,323) which combines UG studies with advanced research opportunities. While direct CSE admission in top NITs is unlikely, prioritize ECE at NITs for institutional reputation or opt for IIITs for niche CSE specializations. Encourage early engagement in research internships and projects to align with long-term academic goals, and consider lateral entry/GATE for future specialization. All the best for your son's admission and a bright future!
