Question by Zaid - Aug 21, 2025Hindi

Career

Hello sir I am 1st dropper in 2025 and I passed class 12 in 2024 and I got 89 present in 12th board exam but this year I am not clear to jee mains exam I got only 61 presentile so pls help me you suggest me I felt very bad such like I defeat in my life pls suggest me what can I do .Sir there's no one to guide me .Sir my goel was IIT but I couldn't cleared and I am not efford to pvt college fee pls sir suggest me

Ans: Scoring 61 percentile in JEE Mains after a strong 89% in your 12th boards is understandably disappointing, but it does not define your future. Many students face setbacks on the path to IIT but still build successful careers. Given your financial constraints and goal of IIT, consider these strategies: Focus on state-level or central government engineering colleges with good reputation and lower fees through counseling like JEE Main JoSAA or state CETs, which offer quality education without the private college cost burden. Meanwhile, enhance your conceptual clarity and problem-solving skills through free online resources (NPTEL, YouTube channels like Khan Academy, Unacademy) and join government or NGO-sponsored coaching programs if possible. If IIT remains your ambition, plan a structured, focused drop year with a clear schedule, referencing previous toppers’ methods and joining affordable or free classes. Alternatively, explore pivoting to strong domains related to IT, data science, or emerging tech fields in affordable colleges, securing internships early to improve prospects. Mental health is vital; seek support online, communicate with mentors, and remain resilient. Many success stories emerge from perseverance beyond initial failures.

Recommendation: Embrace affordable quality education via state/central institutes, utilize free resources, consider coaching options, and be persistent with a clear plan for next-year IIT attempt or alternate tech pathways. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Career

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!

Sir my daughter jee main 78 parcent in OBC cse in which collage

Ans: Chances of CSE in NIT/IIIT are almost nil/dim. You should focus on state government colleges in your state, private engineering colleges, or GFTIs with lower cutoffs, while keeping NIT/IIIT only as very long-shot CSAB options in non-CS branches.

Good luck.

Hello sir daughter has 82k rank general category hs delhi. What college can she get branches cs/ece/ai type?

Ans: Try with newer/less competitive IIITs or GFTIs for CS/AI-type branches, while NIT CSE/ECE is unlikely, and only lower-demand branches in weaker institutes may be possible. Consider Delhi state colleges (DTU/NSUT/IPU) in non-core branches or private colleges.
