Hi Sir,
Jayaram from Karnataka my son has got JEE Mains with CRL 37701 and OBL 10880 Rank, and JEE Advance expected rank below 2500, but CBSE 70.8%, we yet to log on the Re-Valuation, KCET will not get the good rank because of CBSE board numbers, and COMDK not up to the mark.
So, could you please help us in his future, we are not in position to take the call, need help for his carrier.
Thanks.
Ans: Dear Mr Jayaram,
The CBSE result 2026 has been disappointing for more than 4lacs students and they have approached authorities for revaluation as many are unhappy. Since it will take time and money on every step , students are disgusted. However apparently the rank seems to be impressive hence chances are fair , however IIITs are always there to provide quality education.

Should i drop my bsc 1st year in my hometown tier 3 college to join a tier 1 college
Ans: Dear , if you feel the college you are getting in tier1 city scores over quality teaching , fast records , faculties , infrastructure including library , Laboratories, placements in campus interviews are held and finally the fee or cost of studying there then you may move.

He is appearing for improvement exam of CBSE to score 75 aggregate and optimistic of scoring 95 PR+ in Jee with drop. Shall we take decision of drop as in 2025 both attempts he score 80 and 76 PR respectively. He got VIT rank of 43500 or shall he take addmission in VIT.
Ans: Dear , Many a times students those who fail to get the expected percentile in their board exams prefer to drop the crucial exams like JEE.
Taking admission in the trade which doesn't match your son's choice in VIT can be frustrating. Pl talk to your son and then take the decision.

Please give a ranking in terms of placement, Electrical Engineering, ECE, AI & ML and Maths & Computing
Ans: Dear , The placement ranking is not a algebraic equation and always dynamic , depending upon the colleges,their past records , present industrial demands and salaries offered .
The present trend goes in favour of CSE Robotics, AI and ML, Automobiles, Renewal energy, Mechatronics,Civil engg etc. As far as ECE ,EE, AI and ML and computing is concerned I feel AI and ML, CSE , ECE then EE are preferred.
