Hello sir , sir meri age 18 and sir I got 75 percentile in jee mains and 85% in 12 class pls sir guide what should I do

Ans: Hello Florika, aapke number tho achche aaye hain. Aapne counselling attend kar rahe ho tho aapka number zaroor aayega lekin kuchh branches ke offers jo aapko pasand na aaye aisa possible hai.
Agar koi branch jo offer kee jaa rahee hai, aapko suit kare tho join karlo aur journey shuru karlo.
Agar nahi tho, private colleges hain kayee jo iss marks pe aapko apne pasand ke branch offer karein, tho aap apne financial status ke hisaab se usae lelo aur aage ki paddhaai shuru kardo.
Last option ye rakho ki drop lelein, mujhe yakeen hai agle saal aap aur achche percentile laayenge.
NIT/IIT ke liye tho mehnaat karna banta hai.
Mujhe bathaayiye aapne kya chuna. All the best.

Question by Vaishnavi - Jun 09, 2025

Career

I get 97.5 percentile in jee mains suggest college

Ans: Vaishnavi, With a 97.5 percentile in JEE Main 2025 (approximate rank 25,000–28,000), securing CSE in top-tier NITs like Trichy, Warangal, or Surathkal is unlikely, as their CSE closing ranks for General-All India hover between 2,500–6,000. However, lower-tier NITs such as NIT Agartala, NIT Silchar, or NIT Mizoram may offer CSE seats, with historical closing ranks around 24,000–32,000. For IIITs, options like IIIT Kalyani (CSE closing rank ~66,893 in 2024) and IIIT Sri City (CSE placement rate 89.67% in 2024) are viable, though branch availability may vary. State-funded institutions like PEC Chandigarh or DTU (through state quotas) and private universities such as Thapar University (83% UG placement rate) or LNMIIT Jaipur (91% placement rate) provide credible alternatives with robust industry ties. While core CSE seats in premier NITs/IIITs remain challenging, prioritize NIT Agartala/Silchar for CSE, explore IIITs with higher closing ranks, or opt for Thapar/LNMIIT if institutional reputation and placements outweigh branch preferences. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hi sir my daughter has 75018 rank in jee mains general category domicile mp Which college and branch can she get in mp colleges

Ans: She may get newer or lower-demand branches (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, ECE) in later rounds at state GFTIs/private govt colleges like SGSITS Indore (lower branches), UIT RGPV Bhopal campuses, JEC Jabalpur, OIST/Oriental/Truba, etc., with the best chances in Mechanical/Civil/Electrical rather than CSE. But if your daughter is keenly interested only in tech branches, then choose a seat from the management quota in any good private college.

Good luck.

Career

Sir, my son got 96.654 percentile in JEE MAINS-2026, can we expect B.TECH -M. TECH integrated course in NFSU Gandhinagar main campus sir.

Ans: With a 96.654 percentile, your son's approximate CRL may be around 50,000–55,000, which looks competitive because NFSU also called many candidates beyond the top 100 merit numbers in its second counselling list. The programme has only 40 seats (may or may not increase) at Gandhinagar, so apply immediately and keep documents ready. It is advisable to have some backup options of the following: NFSU Delhi/Tripura/Dharwad/Guwahati campuses, IIITs through CSAB, DA-IICT, PDPU/PDEU, Nirma, Ahmedabad University, MIT-WPU, Manipal Jaipur, Thapar, SRM/VIT (North India Campuses). All the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

ECE in Jaypee noida 62 is better for mechanical in shiv nadar greater noida

Ans: Yes, JIIT Noida Sector 62 ECE is the better recommendation over Mechanical at Shiv Nadar Greater Noida, unless the student has a strong personal interest in core mechanical, robotics, design or manufacturing. JIIT’s official placement page shows strong overall placements, with a ?11.28 LPA average and a ?7.01 LPA median for the 2026 batch so far. JIIT also states that ECE students get opportunities in companies like Qualcomm, Microsoft, Amazon and STMicroelectronics. Shiv Nadar is academically strong and its mechanical curriculum includes automation, design and manufacturing, but mechanical placements are generally narrower than ECE/tech roles. The final choice can be JIIT ECE. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

My son got 99.2 percentile in jee mains getting csd in iiit delhi vs IT/ MNC in nsut or Mnc in DTU ? Is iiit delhi CSD better as it suits due to proximity . Fees no issues . What abt placement n scope in all.three? Regards Rahul

Ans: Rahul Sir, Recommended order is 1) IIIT-Delhi CSD, 2) NSUT IT, 3) DTU MnC, 4) NSUT MnC. IIIT-Delhi is research-focused and coding-intensive, and design + CS gives scope in software, product, UI/UX tech, HCI, AI products, and startups. NSUT IT is safest for traditional software placements and brand comfort; NSUT’s CSE department also highlights strong MNC campus selection. DTU MnC has an excellent brand and tech scope. DTU 2024-25 data shows MCE (MnC) average CTC ?15.22 LPA, while COE/IT are higher. Choose IIIT-D CSD if he likes CS plus design/product thinking. All the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!
