Question by Subhra on Jul 14, 2025Hindi

Career

I'm a pcb student. Can I give IAT exam without maths? Which college I can get into and how much I have to score?

Ans: Subhra, PCB students are eligible for the IISER Aptitude Test (IAT) without having studied Mathematics in Class XII, provided they have at least three subjects among Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Mathematics and meet the minimum board percentage (60% general, 55% reserved). The IAT comprises 60 questions—15 from each subject—with a maximum of 240 marks and negative marking (–1 for incorrect). PCB candidates can secure seats in IISER Pune with a score of ≥160, IISER Kolkata with ≥130, IISER Bhopal ≥140, IISER Mohali ≥125, IISER Tirupati ≥116, IISER Thiruvananthapuram ≥121 and IISER Berhampur ≥110 in the general category, enabling admission to the five-year BS-MS dual-degree programmes and related BS courses.

Recommendation: Prepare strategically by focusing on Biology and Chemistry strengths while reviewing core Mathematics concepts to maximize your IAT score. Aim for ≥160 to target IISER Pune, with slightly lower targets (116–140) for other IISERs, and prioritize institute fit and research opportunities when finalizing your choice. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hi, I'm Vineet! I'm a pcb student and gonna give isolated maths in Feb 2025. Am I eligible to apply for IAT and later on to take admission in IISc Bangalore and IISER's??

Ans: For the IAT (Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Aptitude Test), there are no "compulsory" subjects in the sense that you must take all of them; however, you must have studied at least three subjects out of Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics in your Class XII to be eligible to take the exam, meaning you can choose to take only three of these four subjects depending on your stream. You are totally eligible for appearing in IAT and can take admission in IISc Bangalore. About IISER you are advised to do required research in internet. Best of luck.

Question by Madhuri - May 10, 2026Hindi

Career

For 8600.rank in amritha ,which branch

Ans: Madhuri, With AEEE rank 8,600, chances are good for ECE/EEE/ELC in major campuses, but CSE Core depends strongly on the home state/other state quota, fee slab, and round movement. Recent 2025 rank estimates show Coimbatore CSE: 700–8000 for Home State / 350–4000 for Other State students, so 8,600 is slightly risky there. Amritapuri CSE: 1500–9000 for Home State/800–5000 for Other State students, so possible if Home State and difficult if Other State. CSE specialization at Amritapuri may be possible up to around 11k HS, but it's tougher for OS. ECE is more realistic in Coimbatore, Amritapuri, and Bengaluru, and EEE/ELC chances are stronger. Preference order can be Coimbatore CSE/CSE-Specialisation if available, Amritapuri CSE/CSE-Specialisation, Bengaluru CSE-S/ECE, Chennai/Amaravati CSE, and then ECE at Coimbatore/Amritapuri/Bengaluru. If possible, have 3-4 other backup options. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!

Career

My son got 84 percentile in jee mains 92 PERCENTAGE IN AP IPE, GENERAL CATEGORY...pls suggest him the best genuine college or university for BTECH CSE core... good scholarships, good placements,....

Ans: At the 84th percentile, the expected CRL may be around 2.3–2.5 lakh, so CSE Core in NIT/IIIT/GFTI through JoSAA is very unlikely. You can try CSAB Special Round only as a chance for lower-demand branches, not CSE Core. The best practical route is to use AP EAPCET/AP counselling and target Andhra University College of Engineering, JNTU Kakinada/Anantapur, SVUCE Tirupati, GVPCE Visakhapatnam, VR Siddhartha, RVR & JC, Vignan, SRKR, Vishnu Institute, GMRIT for CSE/IT/AI-DS if rank permits. AP EAPCET colleges and rank-wise lists are published through APSCHE/counselling sources. Backup private options with scholarships: VIT-AP, SRM-AP, Amrita Amaravati, KL University, LPU, Chandigarh University, UPES, Bennett. Prefer colleges giving merit scholarships based on 92% IPE/JEE/AP EAPCET, with verified CSE placement data. All the Best for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Question by Joseph - May 10, 2026Hindi

Career

Can I get cse in amrita with 20533 rank in amritapuri

Ans: Joseph, With AEEE rank 20,533, CSE Core at Amrita Amritapuri is unlikely, especially if you are from another state. Amrita’s official admission page says there is no fixed cutoff; allotment depends on AEEE/JEE rank, seat availability and preferences each year. Recent rank-vs-branch estimates show Amritapuri CSE around 1.5k–9k for Home State and 800–5000 for Other State, while CSE specializations may stretch slightly higher but still generally be below your rank. Older published cutoff data also placed Amritapuri CSE around 6,940 Open / 16,547 State, indicating 20,533 is risky for core CSE. Better Amrita backups: try ECE, EEE, Mechanical, Electronics & Computer Engineering, or lower-demand branches in Amritapuri, Chennai, Amaravati, or Bengaluru. Apply also to VIT-AP, SRM-AP, KL University, etc. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!

How is k j somaiya college of engineering collage?

Ans: Piyush, K J Somaiya School of Engineering (KJSSE), established in 1983 in Mumbai, holds a solid reputation among the city's autonomous engineering colleges, ranked in the NIRF 151-200 band. Its 65-acre Vidyavihar campus supports vibrant academics, cultural events, and active clubs. The college's strengths include consistent placement performance, with the 2024-25 average package at 8.63 LPA and a highest package of 51.72 LPA, involving 146 companies and 360 offers. Faculty support, infrastructure, and a strong alumni network are highly regarded for career assistance. However, some students mention crowded hostels and occasional administrative delays, though these issues are improving yearly. Additionally, core engineering branches face slightly less recruiter diversity compared to IT and CSE. Overall, KJSSE remains a worthwhile choice for a balanced engineering education in Mumbai. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!
