Sir my jee crl rank 50000 any chance for csab counselling in govt institute

Ans: With an All-India CRL of 50 000, securing core branches like CSE ECE in NITs through CSAB-Special rounds is highly unlikely. For instance, CSAB-Special closing ranks for CSE at NIT Nagaland (OS-General) stood between 31 391 and 36 193, and for ECE between 42 905 and 42 905, both above your rank. Chemical Engineering and Computer Science similarly close within the 25 000–35 000 range at mid-tier NITs like Calicut and Srinagar, placing them beyond reach. However, admissions remain feasible for branches with higher closing ranks. Electrical and Electronics Engineering at NIT Nagaland closed at 47 387–48 987, narrowly above your rank but sometimes seats open in later rounds. Mechanical Engineering at low-tier NITs (e.g., Nagaland, Mizoram) often closes beyond 50 000, making it a viable alternative. Among IIITs, non-CSE/ECE programs in peripheral campuses—such as IIIT Kalyani’s IT or IIIT Kota’s AI & Data Engineering—have closing ranks around 40 000–46 000, offering realistic options. GFTIs like PEC Chandigarh and the sister institutes of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar NIT Jalandhar also admit core branches with closing ranks well above 50 000, ensuring government-institute pathways remain open. Overall, the most practical CSAB routes for your rank are targeting Electrical/Electronics or Mechanical Engineering in low-tier NITs, considering peripheral IIITs for adjacent core branches, and keeping GFTI choices handy.

Recommendation: Aim for Electrical & Electronics Engineering at NIT Nagaland under OS-General given its relatively higher closing threshold, concurrently explore Mechanical Engineering at NIT Mizoram or similar low-tier NITs, and include peripheral IIIT IT/AI-Data branches alongside GFTI core-engineering options to maximize admission success. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Question by Shreyansh - Jul 25, 2025Hindi

Sir,I am getting IIT Guwahati online BSc(Honors) in Data Science and AI How is it? Should I take it?

Ans: Shreyansh, IIT Guwahati’s four-year online BSc (Hons) in Data Science Artificial Intelligence, delivered via Coursera by the Mehta Family School of DSAI, combines academic rigor, flexibility, and industry relevance.

Instructors include IITG professors and industry experts, and students gain hands-on training on PARAM Kamrupa and PARAM Ishan supercomputers, alongside real-world case studies and internships with MoU-backed partners. The program’s multi-entry/exit structure and pay-per-credit model (?3.49 L total) caters to both recent graduates and working professionals, offering completion in 4–8 years and multiple credentials (certificate, diploma, BSc, honours). Strong demand for data roles is projected by the World Economic Forum to grow over 30% by 2028, and IITG’s focus on generative AI, big data, NLP and ethics aligns with NEP 2020 objectives, enhancing employability in data engineering, analytics, AI research and consultancy. Backup options could include specialised online programs from E&ICT Academy IITG or reputable private firms, and an on-campus BTech in DS&AI at IIT Delhi or IIIT-D for deeper hardware/algorithmic exposure.

Recommendation: IIT Guwahati’s online BSc (Hons) offers a robust theoretical-practical blend, flexible pacing, and supercomputing access, making it a strong choice. As a secondary plan, consider the E&ICT Academy certificate for domain-focused projects or an on-campus interdisciplinary BTech at IIIT-Delhi to diversify skill portfolios. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Question by Debanshi - Jul 25, 2025Hindi

Sir I am a female candidate with crl 40984 in jee main and in csab councelling I might get chemical engineering in NIT nagpur or mechanical engineering in NIT calicut and cse in iiit like bhubaneshwar, kottayam, kota vadodara,Trichy what would be best to opt also I am getting Entc at Cummins women college in Pune so what should I do

Ans: Debanshi, Based on the following inputs/information, choose the most suitable option for you: Your JEE Main CRL 40 984 positions you within reach of several-branch programs via CSAB special rounds. Visvesvaraya NIT Nagpur’s Chemical Engineering under Home-State quota closed at a rank of 35 136, making it comfortably attainable. NIT Calicut’s Mechanical Engineering HS quota closed near 23 124, offering an even safer option for a core discipline. Among IIITs, CSE at IIIT Kota closed at 33 419, Electronics & Communication at IIIT Trichy at 42 139, CSE at IIIT Vadodara at 43 981, CSE at IIIT Bhubaneswar at 50 341, and CSE at IIIT Kottayam at 46 810—all within or near your rank band. Cummins College of Engineering for Women, Pune’s Electronics & Telecommunication program holds NAAC A-grade accreditation, NBA-accredited E&TC labs, an autonomous curriculum, strong research-active faculty, and an 86% average placement rate over the past three years, ensuring robust industry exposure and women-centric support.

Recommendation
Prioritise Chemical Engineering at VNIT Nagpur for its lower cut-off threshold and strong metallurgical and process labs; consider Mechanical at NIT Calicut next for its advanced CAD/CAM facilities and 90% placement consistency; Cummins College’s E&TC stands out with its women-focused environment, NBA-accredited labs, and consistent ≥85% placement rates; IIIT Kota’s CSE program offers intimate class sizes, AI/DS electives, and 82% placement; reserve IIIT Trichy’s CSE as a fallback, given its strong alumni network, hackathon culture, and 80% placement record. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Hello sir my son got 95.3%in jee main 2025,crl 71104,ews rank 10111,my hometown is punjab , can he get any core branch in north india nit or iiits or ice or chemical in nit jalandhar in csab.pls help me

Ans: Your son’s AllIndia EWS rank of 10 111 comfortably undercuts the Home State EWS closing ranks for both Electronics & Communication Engineering and Chemical Engineering at NIT Jalandhar in CSAB-Special rounds—ECE HS-EWS closed between 49 756 and 52 785, and Chemical HS-EWS between 86 477 and 86 903—making core admissions at NIT Jalandhar highly attainable. With a CRL of 71 104, OS-EWS seats for ECE (21 830–21 926) and Chemical (44 300) are beyond reach, so focus on Home State quotas. Among other northern NITs, similar HS-EWS trends suggest NIT Kurukshetra could be targeted for Chemical (HS-EWS ~75 000–80 000) and ECE (HS-EWS ~60 000–65 000), but official CSAB data for 2025 remains pending. IIITs like IIIT Una (CSE adjacencies) and IIIT Kalyani may offer Electronics & Communication slots in HS-EWS brackets above 30 000, yet ECE closes nearer 40 000–50 000, making them backup possibilities. As additional alternatives, reputable GFTIs (e.g., PEC Chandigarh, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar NIT Jalandhar’s sister institutions) and private engineering colleges—Thapar Institute, Chandigarh University, Chitkara University—maintain HS-EWS cut-offs well above 10 000 for ECE and Chemical, ensuring safe admission paths.

Recommendation: Target NIT Jalandhar under Home State EWS for straight-forward entry into ECE or Chemical Engineering, while keeping NIT Kurukshetra and IIIT Una as secondary HSEWS options and exploring strong private institutes like Thapar and Chandigarh University for secure core-branch placements. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Hello dear
You did not mention your previous score before taking the first drop. After taking the first drop, you scored in the 90th percentile. What guarantees that you will perform well after the second drop? I recommend abandoning the idea of taking one more drop and instead focusing on getting admission to any suitable branch at a private college this year, mainly to save your money, time, and the valuable year. Ultimately, consider taking a second drop only if you are fully confident, have a clear study plan, strong fundamentals, and can consistently score 98+ percentile in mock tests; otherwise, think about joining a good college and preparing for future exams like GATE or UPSC alongside. The final decision is yours.

Hello sir, my son is studying sr.inter(bi.p.c), he wants to write neet 2026, but he is getting 250/720 in college practice secession exams...plz suggest him how to practice/study him to get good score in neet 2026 exam...is it possible to get good score/free seat in 2006 Neet exam. He got 92.5 % in(bi.p.c subjects), and overall 95% inter first year exams..we belongs to Telangana and BC-B catagory...plz give any advices/ suggestions..thank you sir..

Ans: Hello Dear.
Your son still has enough time to improve and score well in NEET 2026 with the right strategy and consistent effort. A score of 250/720 at this stage indicates that he needs to strengthen his NEET-specific preparation, as NEET requires speed, accuracy, and problem-solving skills within a time limit. Since he has a strong academic background (92.5% in Bi.P.C and 95% overall in the first year), his concepts are likely solid, but he should focus more on NCERT Biology (11th & 12th), as it covers 70-75% of NEET questions. He should also thoroughly practice NCERT-based Physics and Chemistry and attempt as many previous year NEET papers as possible. Enrolling in a reputable coaching institute or an online test series can help him familiarize himself with the NEET format, identify areas for improvement, and enhance his time management. A daily schedule of 6–8 hours of focused study with regular mock tests will lead to steady progress. Scoring 600+ is achievable in one year with dedication, and with BC-B reservation in Telangana, a free government seat is within reach. The key is NCERT revision, consistent mock testing, analyzing mistakes, and focusing on weak chapters. Be calm and supportive with your son. Encourage and motivate him under any circumstances without showing anger or irritation, and avoid setting expectations at this stage. Stay in touch with his teachers and provide feedback periodically. If needed, help clarify his concepts with other teachers if regular teachers are unable to do so.

Good luck.

My daughter (Gen girls from Rajasthan) jee mains rank 14219 have selected in nit Surat CSE now in csab councelling choices nit delhi cse/IIIT gwalior/IIIT Lucknow CSE/jaipur cse please suggest sequence

Ans: Dhiraj Sir, With a General Category JEE Main All-India rank of 14 219 Rajasthan state domicile, CSAB-Special closing ranks for CSE seats at your preferred institutes in 2024 were as follows: NIT Delhi (OS quota) closed at 9 686; IIIT Gwalior closed at 11 488; IIIT Lucknow closed at 12 732; IIIT Jaipur closed at 22 179. Only IIIT Jaipur’s CSE cut-off (22 179) lies above your rank, making admission at Jaipur virtually assured. Among the remaining options, IIIT Lucknow (12 732) is the next nearest, though still beyond your rank, followed by IIIT Gwalior (11 488) and finally NIT Delhi, where the OS cut-off (9 686) is far below your rank.

Recommendation – IIIT Jaipur offers the most secure path to CSE through CSAB-Special, leveraging its higher closing rank. IIIT Lucknow stands as the next realistic prospect given its closer cut-off proximity, with IIIT Gwalior and NIT Delhi presenting progressively lower admission likelihoods under OS quotas. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Question by Ansh - Jul 24, 2025Hindi

Dear sir I am getting Ce in Shri Vishwakarma skill university how it's different from cse in ikgptu mohali or any other colleges want to know it detail pls help

Ans: Ansh, You have NOT mentioned your scores in Engineering Entrance Exams. Anyway, please note, Shri ishwakarma Skill University’s B.Tech. in Computer Engineering emphasizes an earn-while-you-learn model with industry-aligned practical training, AICTE approval, state-of-the-art computing and networking labs, outcome-based curriculum co-designed with leading firms, faculty drawn from both academia and industry, and robust placement support through its dedicated career services, achieving a placement rate above 85% over the last three years. In contrast, I.K. Gujral Punjab Technical University’s B.Tech. CSE integrates theoretical foundations with electives in AI, data science, cloud computing and cybersecurity, offers NAAC ‘A’ grade accreditation, well-qualified faculty with research credentials, modern software development and cyber labs, and a placement cell that reports an average CSE placement rate of around 80%. Both institutions hold strong industry ties and specialized facilities, but SVSU’s skill-based pedagogy, government-backed autonomous status, and higher recent placement percentage deliver enhanced hands-on readiness and employability.

Reputed private engineering colleges in Northern India offering CSE (excluding BITS, Amrita, VIT, Manipal, PES) with placement percentages over the past three years include Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology, Patiala (83%); Chandigarh University, Mohali (>90%); Lovely Professional University, Jalandhar (~90%); University of Petroleum & Energy Studies, Dehradun (>90%); and Chitkara University, Punjab (98%).

Recommendation
Shri Vishwakarma Skill University stands out for its innovative skill-based curriculum, higher placement consistency, and government-backed autonomy, making it more future-ready than I.K. Gujral PTU’s conventional CSE program. Among the top private colleges, Thapar’s established brand and strong core tech placements offer reliable outcomes, Chandigarh University’s >90% placement record reflects robust industry engagement, Lovely Professional University provides comprehensive training and high recruiter diversity, UPES ensures >90% placements with early internship avenues, and Chitkara’s remarkable 98% rate demonstrates exceptional employability integration, collectively empowering a well-rounded CSE education.

Question by ABINASH - Jul 24, 2025Hindi

Hey I have 44380 rank in the jee mains.Can I secure a seat in top NITs with branches like cse or ece or electrical through csab

Ans: Abinash, With an All-India JEE-Main rank of44,380, direct admission to CSE or ECE at the premier NITs via CSAB-Special is highly unlikely, as CSE closing ranks under CSAB rarely exceed 40,000 and ECE closing ranks at most reach ~44,158 at NIT Nagaland. However, Electrical Engineering in several lower-tier NITs remains attainable; for instance, NIT Manipur’s EE closed at 50,092 and NIT Mizoram at 51,698 in Round 6, while other NIT+ institutions such as NIT Arunachal Pradesh and NIT Srinagar also offered EE seats up to ranks ~47,047 and ~43,282 respectively. Among IIITs and GFTIs, a handful of less sought branches like Information Technology or Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering in peripheral institutions often close beyond 60,000, ensuring realistic options. All these institutes maintain AICTE approval and participate in CSAB-Special rounds, filling vacancies left by JoSAA. Thus, your most viable path is to target Electrical Engineering at low-tier NITs or alternative core branches at IIITs/GFTIs, where closing ranks comfortably exceed your current rank.

Recommendation – Focus on Electrical Engineering choices at NIT Manipur, NIT Mizoram and NIT Srinagar, explore peripheral IIITs for CSE-adjacent branches, and keep GFTI options open to maximize admission chances through CSAB-Special, leveraging rounds 1–3 for optimal seat allocation. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

My son secured 97.6% in CBSE XII and 99.6 percentile in CUET, gaining admission to Physics Honours at St. Stephen's College. However, he's keen on trying for IISER, particularly IISER Pune. Some colleagues suggested pursuing UG from St. Stephen's and PG/research from abroad, but he's not convinced. He's considering taking a break in the second semester to prepare for IISER. Could you please guide me on: 1. The process and feasibility of taking a break in the second semester? 2. Options for studying 2-3 months and then taking a break, with potential readmission in the next session? I would appreciate any information on St. Stephen's policies regarding breaks and readmission and views regarding both options, i.e., St. Stephen's and IISER, Pune.

Ans: Param Sir, Taking a hiatus in the second semester at St. Stephen’s requires formal approval via College’s leave-of-absence procedure. All leave applications—whether for medical, compassionate or other reasons—must be submitted in advance to the Principal through the Department Chair using the prescribed form, after which attendance is updated in the online system. Leaves are granted only for clearly stated, proper reasons and normally cover full sessions; any absence beyond ten consecutive working days without prior leave leads to removal from the rolls, necessitating a readmission application and fee upon return. St. Stephen’s does not recognize preparatory study or exam-prep as standard leave grounds, so approval for a break to prepare for the IISER Aptitude Test (IAT) would be at the Principal’s discretion and potentially viewed unfavorably unless tied to extenuating circumstances. Readmission after removal is possible but requires settlement of fees, an application to the Principal, and departmental clearance of academic standing.

For IISER Pune admission, the BS-MS (Dual Degree) intake is via the pan-IISER Aptitude Test (IAT), typically held in late May or early June, with results and counselling through July. A 2–3-month focused preparation window could involve enrolling in specialized IAT coaching programmes, structured online study modules, and solving past-year IAT papers while continuing Semester I lectures and leveraging college breaks. Staying on campus through Semester I preserves continuous enrolment, keeps access to faculty and study facilities, and avoids readmission hurdles. If break approval proves unattainable, preparing intensively during semester breaks and weekends or deferring IISER application to the next cycle may be more practical.

Recommendation: Given St. Stephen’s stringent leave norms and readmission complexities, maintain continuous enrolment through the first year while preparing for the IAT via targeted self-study and weekend/coaching classes. Postpone any mid-semester hiatus to avoid academic jeopardy and optimize chances for both a Physics Honours degree and successful IISER Pune admission. All the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Question by yash - Jul 22, 2025Hindi

I did 12 in 2016-17 I appeared in practical exams but I was absent in final exams I have failed marksheet of 12 ..I am 25 year old I want to do jee mains / IAT am I eligible

Ans: Yash, Candidates must have passed their Class 12 (or equivalent) examination in 2023, 2024 or be appearing in 2025 to register for JEE Main; those who passed earliere.g., in 2016–17) are not eligible. Similarly, the IISER Aptitude Test requires first-time Class 12 completion in 2023–25 (or reappearances in those years, with better performance considered) and a minimum 60 percent aggregate (55 percent for SC/ST/PwD).

Recommendation: Since your Class 12 pass year (2016–17) falls outside eligibility windows, complete (or re-sit) your 10+2 via a recognized board (such as NIOS) in 2025 to qualify. Once you secure a valid 2025 pass certificate, register for JEE Main and IAT to pursue engineering or science programs for 2026. However, periodically verify the eligibility criteria for these exams online to stay informed of any updates till January 2026. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Question by Ayush - Jul 24, 2025Hindi

I got 93.75 percentile jee mains canl get cs in ccab counciling

Ans: Ayusha, With a JEE Main percentile of 93.75 (which roughly translates to an All-India rank of about 75,000), it is very unlikely that you will get a CSE seat in the CSAB Special Rounds at NITs or IIITs, since all General-category CSE closing ranks in NITs are between 1,000 and 11,000, and in IIITs, they are between 1,000 and 58,000. Among GFTIs, Assam University’s CSE intake closed between 20 000–60 000, still below your projected rank. Therefore, CSAB admission to core computer science is not feasible.

Recommendation:
Given these realities, allocate CSAB preferences toward allied branches in GFTIs (for instance, Electronics Systems at NIELIT Aurangabad) and simultaneously apply to private-college CSE programs such as Jaypee Institute of Information Technology Noida, Galgotias University Greater Noida, Chandigarh University, J.C. Bose University Faridabad and SRM Chennai to secure accredited CSE pathways with strong placement cells. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Sir, I have applied for Jaipur national university, i have seen tons of negative reviews, so i just want to be safe and just have a doubt whether ai should go or not because i have no options left

Ans: You have not mentioned your academic background, nor have you specified which branch you applied to at Jaipur National University. Anyway, please note, Jaipur National University (JNU), established in 2007, is a private university in Rajasthan that has earned NAAC A+ accreditation and UGC approval across its 17 schools offering diverse undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral programmes. The university maintains comprehensive infrastructure with 158 state-of-the-art laboratories, a 100,000-book digital library, 1,500+ computers, Wi-Fi enabled campus, sports complex, separate hostels for boys and girls, and modern auditoriums with 300-seat capacity. Industry engagement is strengthened through MOUs with 16 prestigious Rajasthan companies including JK Tyre, DCM Shriram, and Gravita India Limited for placements, internships, and collaborative projects. Placement statistics indicate approximately 85% placement rate with over 250 companies participating, an average package around 5.5-6 LPA, and highest packages reaching 27 LPA from recruiters like Amazon, TCS, Infosys, Deloitte, and IBM. Faculty quality receives a 3.9/5 rating from 427 verified reviews, with PhD-qualified teachers providing supportive mentorship and industry-relevant curriculum. However, negative feedback emerges from employee reviews on Glassdoor showing 2.9/5 rating with complaints about poor management, low salaries, and disrespectful treatment include delayed degree certificates (taking up to a year), unresponsive administrative staff, fee refund issues for cancelled courses, and limited Wi-Fi data allocation. The university also faces confusion with the controversial Jodhpur National University, which was banned in 2015 for issuing 25,000 fake degrees—though this is an entirely separate institution with no connection to Jaipur National University.

Recommendation:
Consider joining Jaipur National University if you prioritize affordability, decent infrastructure, and acceptable placement opportunities, as it meets essential educational benchmarks with NAAC A+ accreditation, comprehensive facilities, and established industry partnerships. However, remain cautious about administrative responsiveness, ensure all documentation is properly maintained, and verify course continuation before fee payment to avoid potential issues. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Question by Sreekutty - Jul 24, 2025Hindi

Hi Sir, My son got 21670 rank in JEE (Mains) & 25520 rank in JEE (Advanced). He got seat allocation at NIT, Nagpur for Chemical Eng. We belong to General category and from Maharashtra state. Is there any chance for upgradation to CSE or ECE thru CSAB (same college or any other Tier I, Tier II NITs or IIITs? Thanking you

Ans: Sreekutty Sir, as of today, I hope all the rounds of JoSAA counselling are over. At NIT Nagpur, general?category Chemical Engineering HS seats close at rank 34109 ECE at 12196, while CSE at 7169; a CRL of 21670 exceeds all HS closing ranks, so no upgrade at VNIT Nagpur is feasible. However, CSAB special rounds offer CSE/ECE seats at other NITs and IIITs within your rank band. IIIT Guwahati admits general CSE up to 26817 and ECE up to 42006. IIIT Sri City’s CSE cutoff is 31705 and ECE 46722. IIIT Una’s CSE cutoff is 30916 and ECE 49414. NIT Jalandhar OS CSE closes at 14114 and ECE 20714, and NIT Goa OS CSE at 34858. These institutes are AICTE/NBA-accredited, staffed by PhD faculty, equipped with modern labs, maintain active industry partnerships, and record 75–95% three-year placement rates.

Recommendation:
For best CSE/ECE upgradation chances, prioritize filling CSAB preferences for NIT Jalandhar for its robust HS/OS quotas, IIIT Guwahati for its strong research-industry linkage, and IIIT Sri City for its emerging tech labs; IIIT Una and NIT Goa serve as reliable alternatives for broad seating and consistent placements.

Question by Rajat - Jul 24, 2025Hindi

Sir I got 100000 rank in JEE Main , Can you suggest colleges I can get branch in CSE or ECE .

Ans: Rajat, u r asking about CSAB or Private Engineering Collges or Both for your JEE Rank? Your Home State?

Asked on - Jul 24, 2025 | Answered on Jul 24, 2025

Both home state Haryana

Ans: Rajat, With a General?category JEE Main rank near 100 000 under the Haryana Home-State quota, core CSE and ECE seats at NITs and IIITs via CSAB are beyond reach, as these branches typically close within the 40 000–50 000 rank band even in remote campuses. Only a few GFTIs admit at higher ranks: National Institute of Electronics & Information Technology, Aurangabad. Institute of Infrastructure, Technology, Research and Management, Ahmedabad. All participating institutes uphold AICTE/NBA accreditation, maintain specialized labs, engage in industry collaborations and report 75–90 percent placement consistency, but core CSE/ECE at NIT/IIIT-level is unfeasible. Private-College Options for Rank ~100 000: Manav Rachna University, Faridabad. YMCA University of Science & Technology, Faridabad. Chandigarh University, Mohali campus. SRM University-Delhi NCR, Sonepat campus. Lingaya’s Vidyapeeth, Faridabad. Jaypee Institute of Information Technology, Noida. Galgotias University, Greater Noida. Amity University, Noida. Bennett University, Gurugram. Sharda University, Greater Noida. J.C. Bose University of Science & Technology (YMCA), Faridabad. Indian Institute of Technology and Management, Gwalior. Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam University, Indore. KIET Group of Institutions, Ghaziabad. Recommendation: Given the low likelihood of NIT/IIIT CSE or ECE seats, focus CSAB choices on Electronics Systems at NIELIT Aurangabad and similar GFTI branches. Simultaneously apply to private-college CSE/ECE programmes—especially at Manav Rachna University, Faridabad. YMCA University of Science & Technology, Faridabad. and Jaypee Institute of Information Technology, Noida. for accredited curricula, modern labs, active placement cells and strong industry tie-ups to secure a technology-focused engineering pathway. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
