JEE Mains- Csn i get cse in NIT surathkal with 97.87 percentile (sc category karnataka)

Ans: Hello Ambika
Chances are there to get admission to NIT but can't surely say about Surathkal. It would be better to visite the official website of NIT Surathkar and explore the cutoff of previous years which can help you to predict better.
Follow me, if satisfied with the reply.

Question by ashish - Jun 01, 2025Hindi

Career

Jee mains 97.2 percentile i got cse in nit

Ans: Ashish, A 97.2 percentile in JEE Main corresponds to an approximate General category rank of 32,000–42,000, based on historical normalization trends and seat matrices. For Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), admission to top-tier NITs like Trichy, Warangal, or Surathkal is highly unlikely, as their 2024 closing ranks ranged between 1,500–15,000. However, newer NITs such as Mizoram (2024 CSE closing rank: 49,385), Sikkim (CSE cutoff: 143,919), and Arunachal Pradesh (CSE closing rank: 50,086) are feasible options, given their higher admission thresholds. These institutions report 60–85% placement rates for CSE, with roles in software development and IT services, albeit with fewer core-tech opportunities compared to premier NITs.

Recommendation: Target CSE at NIT Mizoram or NIT Sikkim during JoSAA counseling, prioritizing these campuses for their marginally lower cutoffs. For backups, consider ECE at NIT Nagaland (closing rank: 38,856) or Information Technology at NIT Uttarakhand (closing rank: 72,267), which offer comparable curricula and 70–80% placement rates. Alternatively, explore state universities like Jadavpur University (non-JEE merit seats) or IIITs such as IIIT Bhagalpur (CSE cutoff: 68,434), which blend technical rigor with industry-aligned programs. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: HI MANPREET,
GREETINGS FROM THE REDIFFGURUS!
Based on your rank and domicile, the following opportunities are available in Punjab:

You have a high chance of securing a seat at NIT Jalandhar in the following branches: Civil, Chemical, Biotechnology, Textile, and potentially Electrical/Instrumentation & Control.

There are also opportunities for most of the less competitive branches at GFTI SLIET Longowal.

In Chandigarh, there are possibilities at the following institutions:

- Punjab Engineering College (PEC), Chandigarh: It may be difficult to gain admission in higher branches, but there are possibilities for branches such as Aerospace Engineering, Civil, or Metallurgy.

- IIIT Chandigarh: Opportunities exist for less competitive branches.

- CCET: There are good chances for admission in less competitive branches.

SO DO PARTICIPATE IN THE COUNSELLING PROCESS TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOAL.

BEST WISHES.

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.

Question by Neha - Apr 30, 2026Hindi

Career

Hello Sir/Ma'am My daughter has secured 4150 AIR and 602 Obc Rank What options does she have? She can get tier 3 NLUs, can she get any tier 2 in vacant seats? RMLNLU( she has UP Domicile) ? She can also get DU BA/BBA LLB, should she go there over tier 3 NLUs? Also she is considering taking an edu loan, is it viable for the college options she has?

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.

BEST WISHES.

Hi sir myson obc rank4,252 and home ste andrapradesh nfsu cyber security good sir

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.

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.

Good morning sir My son had jee mains rank 89550 in obc ncl category n done 12 in chandigarh please suggest me b tech course near by with branch in computer

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.
