Ans: Hey Harshita,
Yes, you are eligible for this field. When did you do your +2? if I can see scorecards with minute details like category, cat rank, and state of eligibility it will be easy for me to guide you.
You can contact me on my Insta handle CAREERSTREETS, where we can determine your options this year.

Ans: Hello dear.
Here is the point-wise reply to the questions.
(1) The eligibility to appear for JEE (Adv) depends upon the cut-off declared. Hence please close watch on the announcements made on the respective website. (2) You did not mention the category. Yet assuming OC, difficult to get CSE @ Govt Collge.
Best of luck to you.

Follow me if satisfied with the reply. Else ask again.
Thanks
Radheshyam

Ans: Yes, you can appear for JEE Main and JEE Advanced in 2026 if you meet the eligibility criteria by completing Mathematics as an additional subject through NIOS.

Ans: Yes, you are eligible to appear for JEE Advanced 2026 as your first valid Class 12 passing year is 2025 (essential repeat/private candidate), provided you are among the top 2,50,000 in JEE Main 2026 and meet the age and other eligibility criteria. Your compartment and essential repeat status do not disqualify you, as long as you clear all subjects and meet the rank cutoff in JEE Main 2026. Following the clarification of your inquiry and taking into consideration your academic success for the past one to two years, I would recommend that you consider alternative options (in addition to engineering streams). If it is at all possible, you should take a psychometric test online to determine which other career paths (than engineering) are the most appropriate for you. All the best for your bright future!

Ans: With a JEE Main percentile of 93.7 (expected CRL rank ~94,500), admission to CSE in NITs/IIITs via JoSAA/CSAB is unlikely, as top NITs like NIT Trichy (CSE cutoff: ~4,661–9,271) and IIIT Hyderabad (CSE cutoff: ~1,500–6,000) require ranks below 20,000. However, non-CSE branches such as Mechanical and Civil Engineering at NIT Agartala (cutoff: ~180,051) or Electronics and Communication Engineering at IIITDM Jabalpur (ECE cutoff: ~17,195) may become available in later CSAB rounds, although prioritizing these options risks losing current offers. Among existing options, VIT Vellore CSE (93% placement rate, 867+ recruiters like Microsoft/Amazon) offers the strongest industry network and academic rigor, followed by NMIMS Mumbai CSE (prime location, ~90% placements in tech roles). UPES Dehradun (96% placements) and SRM Main Campus (~85% placements) lag in institutional reputation compared to VIT/NMIMS. Prioritize VIT Vellore CSE for optimal career prospects, while monitoring CSAB for niche NIT/IIIT branches as backups and also take into consideration the fee affordability. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
