Question by Usha - Apr 23, 2026Hindi

Career

Hi sir, my daughter secured 99.12% in JEE Mains with a rank of 14105 in open category. What are her chances to get a CSE in Mid tier NITs, as she don't have a chance to get CSE in top NITs. Please suggest if she should opt for ECE to get into mid tier NITs or she should go for IIITs for a CSE option. Is it correct to choose a lower branch for a top NIT? Or going with an interested branch is suggestible? Please suggest good NITs for ECE also.

Ans: Usha Madam, Prefer CSE in good IIITs if she is clearly interested in coding/AI/software. Choose ECE in mid-tier NITs only if she is comfortable with electronics + coding. Good ECE targets: NIT Calicut, Rourkela, Jaipur, Kurukshetra, Durgapur, Silchar, Hamirpur, and Jalandhar. Please review the JoSAA opening and closing rank data from the past 2-3 years to get a clear idea of your daughter's chances of admission into NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs. Use the available tools to input your ranks and obtain a list of institutions along with their opening and closing ranks and the programs they offer. Based on this information, prepare a prioritized list of preferred institutions and branches for yourself or your daughter, and fill in as many choices as possible. You can also consider applying through the CSAB rounds for additional opportunities. ALL the BEST for Your Daughter's JEE Advanced Exam and also for Her Prosperous Future!

Sir, we are from Tamilnadu. My son got 282250 rank. 82percentile. Please guide me engineering colleges for CSE branch.

Ans: Rajaram Sir, securing admission to the CSE branch through JoSAA will be highly challenging and likely not feasible. However, you may still try your chances in the CSAB round. I recommend keeping 4-5 backup options with reputable private engineering colleges in Tamil Nadu, such as SNU, SSN, PSG, Sastra, Sathyabhama, Amrita, Saveetha, among others.
