Ans: Great question.
No, currently you are not eligible for M.Tech in IITs through GATE if you have only the BS in Data Science from IIT Madras and do not have Mathematics in 10+2 or a BSc/BTech degree with core Mathematics and relevant engineering subjects.

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.

Sir, My son got CSE AI in SRM KTR campus and he got rank 2592 in Amrita ,there might be chances he will also get CSE AI in Coimbatore, can u please suggest which one is better choice? We are yet to confirm SRM by 21st May.

Ans: Prefer CSE at SRM KTR if possible. However, it is highly recommended to visit both campuses in person, talk with the students, and make the decision. Don't confirm admission from home/online or based on our suggestions, as your son has to spend 4-5 years there. The final choice will be yours.

Career

Hello Sir/Ma’am, I have secured a VITEEE rank of 74,037. I would like to know which branches I may get in a good category at VIT campuses. I am mainly interested in Computer Science-related branches, Information Technology, AI/ML, or other good engineering branches with decent placement opportunities. Could you please guide me regarding:• Which branches are possible at my rank• Which VIT campus would be best for me• Which category (Cat 1/2/3/4/5) I may expect Thank you.

Ans: Chances of getting CSE/IT/AI-ML in Vellore or Chennai are almost nil. If your priority is CSE/AI/ML, choose VIT-AP or Bhopal over the lower branches in Vellore/Chennai. ECE/EEE in Chennai/Bhopal may also be possible in Cat 2–4, so the best option is VIT-AP/Bhopal CSE (specializations like AI/ML, Data Science, Cyber Security) in Cat 3–4/5, depending on seat availability and counselling round.

Good luck.

Question by Charmi - May 12, 2026Hindi

Career

My daughter got 74 percentile in JEE mains. We are Gujarat resident. She wants to do BTECH in Biotechnology and then masters. Do this stream Biotechnology has future scope and placements. AND hows SRM and PDEU college for this stream.

Ans: HI CHARMI MADAM,
GREETINGS FROM REDIFFGURUS!

Honestly, biotechnology has a very limited scope compared to other programs, and there are various biotechnology disciplines available in our country:

- Plant-oriented
- Animal-oriented
- Medical-oriented
- Pharmaceutical-oriented

Which area is she planning to pursue? Although we generally refer to it as biotechnology, if the specialization does not align with job requirements, her resume may be overlooked compared to other applicants. Given the specificity of this field, it may be best to avoid it. Additionally, many institutions are not equipped to meet industry standards.

This is my concern. Please plan accordingly before proceeding. I recommend comparing the following by visiting their websites:

- Curriculum
- Infrastructure
- Faculty
- Lab facilities
- Placement

ALL THE BEST.

Sir mai chattisgarh se hu pune me direct admission ke liye kab Jana sahi rahega mhcet ke result ke pahle ya bade

Ans: HI ARJIT,
GREETINGS FROM REDIFFGURUS!
If you are planning to send your ward to study a specific course in a new area, it is important to visit the institution before the entrance exam. This visit will help ensure that the infrastructure meets your expectations. Prior to the visit, studying the institution's website is essential. Compare the information you find online, and once you feel confident, visit the campus for final confirmation. You should be prepared before taking the exam rather than leaving things to the last minute.

ALL THE BEST.

Sir, ek baar fir se aapki valuable advice k liye hajir hoon. Mere bete ka viteee me 108700 rank aaya hai usko Vit Bhopal me 4/5th category me CSE core branch me admission mil sakta hai, beta ko LPU se bhi CSE me admission ka offer mila hai, usko kya lena chahiye? costly dono hai par mai kisi tarah entezam kar lunga

Ans: HI PRAVEEN SIR,
GREETINGS FROM REDIFFGURUS!
Both universities are private, and the fee differences are minimal—only around 2-2.5 lakhs total. So, what should we focus on?

- Facilities and infrastructure
- Faculty
- Curriculum
- Lab facilities
- Placement

Most importantly, the attitude of your son is crucial. Based on the above factors, I recommend that he choose VIT Bhopal. Additionally, regardless of where he enrolls, he must maintain self-discipline, which is very important for individual success.

While studying at VIT, he should also consider pursuing some online courses in his 3rd or 4th year to enhance his employability in the job market.

ALL THE BEST.

Sir my daugher has a Pwd certificates and current year we cant submitted. And current year she got 80 percentile. Should we drop for a year and try again

Ans: HI SONA MADAM,
GREETINGS FROM REDIFFGURUS!
Hi Madam,

You have shared the details of the percentile score and PWD (Person with Disabilities) status, but you did not mention anything about domicile or category. If you had included that information, the prediction would have been more accurate.

I'm curious why you are considering taking a drop year. Why didn't you prepare earlier? Given that we are in the digital era, you could have applied online, and after the medical checkup, you might have received the certificate digitally much sooner than with a hard copy. This may have resolved some issues.

What is your aim in JEE? Which course does she wish to pursue? Are there any specific NITs (National Institutes of Technology) you are interested in? If you are aiming for top-tier NITs, then taking a drop year might be a viable option. However, if there are no specific programs or NITs in mind, she should consider trying this year as well. For example, if she scores 80 percentile, she might secure a good NIT or a desirable program, and it would not be wise to waste a year.
This is my concern.

ALL THE BEST.

Career

Hello sir,i've got 91.57 percentile in mains Category- general female domicile- odisha chances in any nit's or iiit?

Ans: Shrija, at 91.57 percentile, your likely CRL may be around 1.25–1.40 lakh; confirm actual rank. For a general female from the home state of Odisha, NIT Rourkela is very difficult, except maybe low-demand branches in CSAB. Try lower GFTIs, North-East NITs in lower branches, IIITs only in CSAB if vacancies stretch, and Odisha state counselling. Some backups you can have are CET Bhubaneswar, VSSUT Burla, IGIT Sarang, PMEC Berhampur, plus good private colleges with CSE/ECE. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!

Sir I got crl 57212 gen category , home state is AP , female quota , please recommend CSE and ECE , their specialisations in nits/iiits/gftis . Also please specify about IIITDM KURNOOL and IIIT SRICITY if they are worth it?

Ans: At CRL 57,212, General female, Andhra Pradesh, CSE in good NITs/IIIT Sri City is unlikely in JoSAA; IIIT Sri City CSE closed around 25,197 in 2025, far above your rank.

Practical choices: IIITDM Kurnool ECE with Design & Manufacturing, IIITDM Kurnool Mechanical, and possibly AI/Data Science/CSE only through CSAB if vacancies stretch. In 2025 CSAB data, IIITDM Kurnool ECE-specialisation went much beyond 57k in some rounds, so it is a realistic target.

IIIT Sri City is better for placements: 2024 placement was 89.67%, CSE average Rs.14.5 LPA, ECE average Rs.12.4 LPA. IIITDM Kurnool is worth considering, but mainly for ECE/design-manufacturing. It is not as strong as Sri City for CSE placements. Also fill GFTIs, state AP EAPCET options, and CSAB Special Round as backups. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!

Sir my daughter got 81.5 percentile in AEEE ,so what is the chances of getting cse in coimbatore campus

Ans: With an 81.5 percentile in AEEE, CSE at Amrita Coimbatore is unlikely, especially if she is from another state. Recent 2025/2026 estimates place Coimbatore CSE around the 90–99 percentile for Home State and 95–99.5 for Other State. CSE specialisations also usually need higher than 81.5. If your daughter wishes, she can try Coimbatore EEE/Mechanical, or CSE/CSE-specialisation in Amritapuri, Amaravati, Bengaluru, Chennai or Nagercoil in higher fee slabs. Have 3-4 other backups of reputed private college options if she is targeting the CSE Core Branch, instead of relying only on Amrita. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!
