What branch and IIT to choose for 5410 rank in jee advanced
Ans: Sudha, you have not mentioned your category. I assume General Category. With a JEE Advanced rank of 5,410, securing Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) in premier IITs (Bombay, Delhi, Madras) is unlikely, as their 2024 CSE cutoffs closed below 500 ranks (e.g., IIT Bombay: 68; IIT Delhi: 116). However, newer IITs like IIT Bhilai (CSE cutoff: 6,516), IIT Goa (CSE: 5,371), and IIT Palakkad (CSE: 6,199) are accessible, with your rank falling within or near their 2024 closing ranks. For Electrical Engineering, consider IIT Indore (EE cutoff: ~6,751) or IIT Ropar (~5,461), while Mechanical Engineering at IIT Gandhinagar (ME cutoff: ~9,001) or IIT Bhubaneswar (~9,975) offers stable core-sector opportunities. If prioritizing CSE, target IIT Goa/Bhilai during JoSAA counselling, leveraging possible seat vacancy drops in later rounds. For broader IT exposure, Mathematics & Computing at IIT Goa (cutoff: 6,685) or Data Science at IIT Palakkad (8,084) are viable alternatives. Prioritize newer IITs for CSE, balancing branch preference and institutional reputation, while keeping mid-tier IITs’ non-CSE branches as backups if immediate IT roles are not critical. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
