I have 4 gap years before joining B.Tech. I will be 26 years old when I graduate. Will companies allow me placements at that time?

Ans: HI RAKESH,
GREETINGS FROM THE REDIFFGURUS!

High-probability options are available at lower or mid-tier institutions for less competitive branches such as Civil, Metallurgy, Chemical, or Mining and Production. Moderate to slim chances exist at mid to top-tier NITs for less competitive branches in Jalandhar, Patna, Jamshedpur, Surathkal, and Rourkela.

Plan accordingly.

BEST WISHES.

Ans: Hi Neha Madam,

You have made multiple queries regarding admission opportunities. I am pleased to inform you that she has excellent prospects with an OBC rank of 602 and UP domicile for several top-tier and mid-tier National Law Universities (NLUs) through CLAT.

At RMLNLU Lucknow (Tier 2), there are high chances of securing a seat. Additionally, there are also opportunities available at other Tier 2 universities such as Bhopal, Gandhinagar, and Raipur.

In Tier 2 itself, the chances are promising, so naturally, there are very good opportunities in Tier 3 as well, including universities in Assam, Nagpur, and Shimla.

Regarding Delhi University (DU), both the BA LLB and BBA LLB programs are competitive but possible. However, since she has a good chance of getting into a Tier 2 university, it may be advisable to pursue that option rather than competing for a spot at DU. If she is truly interested in DU, she may apply, but Tier 2 options are more favorable.

Once she joins a university, she can apply for scholarships. Being a meritorious student, she is likely to receive support for an education loan. There's no need to worry; the education loan can be applied for through the Vidyalakshmi portal. Visit the website and register to get support from the bank.

Ans: Hello Rajya, Your son has picked National Forensic Sciences University for Cyber Security program, which is a great pick but his OBC score (I hope abc rank was a typo) of 4252 does not offer much hope in the better campuses of NFSU like Gandhi Nagar, Delhi, even Dharwad simply because there are only 40 seats in each of the ten odd campuses. Opt for all campuses and some of them may get you a slim chance. And even AP domicile does not offer any reservation. NITs, IIITs and govt funded technical institutions and they may offer him options in Computer science and your son could specialise in Cyber Security.

Ans: HI MANN,
GREETINGS FROM THE REDIFFGURUS!

Considering your percentile, securing admission will be quite challenging. I recommend exploring other NFSU campuses or colleges in Gujarat.

If you want to secure a seat at NFSU, make sure to register for the NFAT. Focus on performing well on the exam to maximize your chances of success.

Plan accordingly.

BEST WISHES.

Ans: Girish, I am not able to relate to the number. Please give his exact scores in Class XII and ranks in JEE.

Ans: Congrats Satyam for this score. I would put Harcourt Butler Tech University, a very prestigious institution in the the State, and Computer Science branch more in the aspirational and dream institution category even in the third round. My suggestion is to widen the list of institutions to at least 10. Also opt for other branches like electrical, mechanical.

Ans: Hello, Congrats on your son's JEE Mains score of 89550. Or is the OBC non-creamy layer score? Is my assumption correct? DO LET ME KNOW POST HASTE. If this the overall score then your has a good chance of securing admission in lesser known NITs, newer IIITs as also in the government funded technical institutions. By narrowing down your choices of institutions near Chandigarh--closer home --may not be a good idea.

Ans: Chances of getting into Mathematics & Computing (M&C) Engineering at top colleges are slim, but you may get it in some newer or lower IIITs or state/private colleges through counselling. Keep M&C as an ambitious option and include CSE/IT/ECE backups too.

Good luck.

Ans: Chances at top NITs are very slim. But she may have some chance at lower/mid NITs or newer NITs for CSE/IT, depending on exact JoSAA cutoffs and round movement. Consider other lower branches for better chances of admission in further rounds.

Good luck.
