Ans: AK, With a 98.75 percentile (OBC) in JEE Main, you have strong options for Computer Science and related branches. IIIT Lucknow’s CSE program is well-regarded for its focused curriculum, good placements, and industry connections, making it suitable for careers like high-frequency trading (HFT). NIT Durgapur’s Mathematics and Computing branch offers strong quantitative skills essential for HFT, backed by a solid academic reputation. IIIT Gwalior’s Mathematics and Computing and IT branches are decent but generally have lower placement visibility. IIITDM Jabalpur’s CSE is good but less specialized for finance-related tech roles. For targeting HFT, Mathematics and Computing at NIT Durgapur or CSE at IIIT Lucknow are recommended, with IIIT Lucknow offering better industry exposure and placements, while NIT Durgapur provides rigorous math training. Choose based on your preference for quantitative depth or stronger placement opportunities. All the best for your admission and a bright future!
