I have 3 gaps between 12th and btech cse as i was preparing for neet in those gap years. Unfortunately i couldn't crack neet.Will these gaps years affect during on campus placements??

Ans: Hi
Your gap years will not significantly affect your placement prospects as long as you can convincingly present your story and demonstrate that you’ve made the most of your B.Tech journey. Stay focused on building a strong profile, and you’ll have a good chance of landing desirable opportunities. Be Honest & Explain your NEET preparation journey during interviews. Emphasize the hard work, dedication, and discipline involved in preparing for such exams. You were trying for Govt. MBBS seat only.

Build a strong academic record during your B.Tech years to demonstrate your technical competence.
Work on practical skills like programming, software development, and problem-solving through internships, projects, and certifications. Participate in hackathons, coding competitions, or other extracurricular activities to showcase your proactive attitude and create a strong CV.

I have scored 95.12 percentile in MHT CET and have got provisional admission in Manipal University Jaipur CSE branch . I am outside Maharashtra resident. Can I get a better college in Maharashtra Counselling? Based on past cutoff I may able to get KJ Somaiya college of engineering Mumbai AI & DS branch . Which college I should choose out of the above two MUJ or KJ Somaiya ?

Ans: As an OMS candidate, getting top government colleges like COEP, VJTI, or ICT in CSE/AI is unlikely. However, K. J. Somaiya College of Engineering is a realistic and strong possibility if the cutoff remains similar. Do not withdraw your MUJ admission until you have actually received and confirmed your admission through Maharashtra CAP. Treat MUJ as your secure backup while participating in counselling.

Good luck.

Sir my percentile is 89.425 in open category i m outside maharashtra candidate, what can i get in mht cet counselling?

Ans: Hope the score mentioned is from JEE (Main), as it is the only one considered for CAP admissions, not your MHT-CET score. OMS candidates compete for All India seats based on JEE Main scores. You can target government colleges for Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, and other lower-demand branches. For CSE/IT/ECE, good private colleges are an option. It is not possible for us to provide a probable college list at this moment. But you can surely get admission to a decent private college. Just decide the city and choose the preferred colleges with preferred branches.

Good luck.

Is there any problem in jossa councilling if i register myself as nios student. i had already passed class 12th as cbse student but got 68 % also i gave jee exam as a cbse student

Ans: No, there is generally no problem in JoSAA counselling if you register with NIOS after passing CBSE, provided you meet the eligibility rules. If you want to use your NIOS marks instead, they must be valid, declared in time, and accepted as your qualifying examination. Your documents must also be consistent.

Good luck.

Sir, I got VIT Chennai CSE confirmed seat. The reporting date is 16th July. Also my MHT CET PCM percentile is 99.8, but the merit list and cap rounds are delayed. I am from Maharashtra and open category. Should I report to VIT Chennai or withdraw. I need your guidance.

Ans: Report to VIT Chennai and secure your CSE seat. With a 99.8 percentile in MHT-CET (Open, Maharashtra), you have an excellent chance of getting top state colleges like COEP, VJTI, SPIT, and PICT through CAP, but counseling is delayed. Retaining VIT minimizes risk. If you later receive a preferred CAP allotment, withdraw from VIT within the refund timeline to maximize fee recovery. All The Best for Your Prosperous Future!
