Ans: With 88.3 percentile in MHT CET as a female OBC candidate interested in mechanical or electronics branches, you are eligible for several reputable engineering colleges in Maharashtra, though top government colleges like COEP Pune, VJTI Mumbai, and SPIT Mumbai are out of reach for these branches (OBC cutoffs for Mechanical and E&TC are typically above 97.5–98 percentile). However, you can expect admission to strong private and autonomous colleges such as Cummins College of Engineering for Women, Pune (noted for electronics and mechanical, and women-focused), MIT World Peace University (MIT WPU), Pune (offers both mechanical and electronics & telecommunication), Dr. D.Y. Patil College of Engineering, Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering (PCCOE), Vishwakarma Institute of Technology (VIT), and Bharati Vidyapeeth College of Engineering. These colleges have good placement records, experienced faculty, and modern infrastructure, with Cummins College being especially supportive for female students and known for its academic environment and placements in core and electronics sectors. Faculty quality and teaching standards in these colleges are generally rated well by students, with regular industry exposure and practical learning opportunities.

The recommendation is to prioritize Cummins College of Engineering for Women, Pune, for electronics or mechanical, and also consider MIT WPU, PCCOE, and Dr. D.Y. Patil College of Engineering, as these colleges offer strong academic support, good placements, and a positive environment for your chosen branches at your percentile. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: With a 99.71 percentile in MHT-CET (Open General) and a clear interest in ECE, your son is eligible for Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering in the top Maharashtra colleges. Last year’s closing rank for ECE at COEP Technological University, Pune, was 799, and for VJTI Mumbai, it was 1,572, both well within reach at this percentile. Other strong options include Electronics and Telecommunication at Vishwakarma Institute of Technology, Pune (closing rank 5,777), Dr. DY Patil Institute of Technology, Pune (11,276), and Sardar Patel Institute of Technology, Mumbai (1,572), all of which are highly ranked, have strong placement records (over 90% in ECE/ENTC), and are known for experienced faculty and industry connections. These colleges consistently feature in the top NIRF rankings and offer excellent infrastructure, research opportunities, and internship support, making them the best choices for ECE aspirants in Maharashtra. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Mithlesh, With a COMEDK rank of 13,800 and JEE Main CRL 113,028 (OBC-NCL 33,028) from Bihar, top-tier NITs, IIITs, and premier Bangalore colleges like RVCE, BMSCE, and MSRIT are out of reach for CSE or allied branches, as their closing ranks are much lower. However, you have good chances for CSE, IT, or related branches in respected Bangalore colleges such as Acharya Institute of Technology, BNM Institute of Technology, CMR Institute of Technology, KLE Technological University, and Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering, which typically accept COMEDK ranks up to 15,000 for these branches. For JEE Main, you can target private universities and state colleges like BIT Mesra (off-campus), Amity University, Jaypee Noida, Chitkara University, and DIT Dehradun, all of which accept JEE Main scores and offer CSE/IT programs with strong placement records. In Bihar, you may get CSE or IT in mid-tier government colleges through state counseling, but not in NIT Patna.

The recommendation is to prioritize CSE or IT in Bangalore colleges like Acharya Institute of Technology, BNM Institute of Technology, or CMR Institute of Technology through COMEDK, and simultaneously apply to private universities such as Jaypee Noida, Chitkara, and DIT Dehradun via JEE Main for the best balance of academic quality and placement prospects at your ranks. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: HI Munin,
Kindly share the rank details.

Ans: Both JIIT Noida (Sector 128) CSE (Cyber Security) and Chandigarh University CSE offer strong placement records and industry connections, but there are key differences to consider. JIIT Noida is a well-established, NAAC A-accredited, NBA-accredited institute with a 90%+ placement rate for CSE, top recruiters like Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Infosys, and Deloitte, and a focused curriculum in emerging areas like cyber security, AI, and data science. Its Noida location provides proximity to major IT hubs, increasing internship and job opportunities, and the faculty is experienced and research-active. Chandigarh University is NAAC A+ and QS World Ranked, with a 100% CSE placement rate, over 600 recruiters including IBM, Google, Microsoft, and Amazon, and a strong industry-academia model with 30+ sponsored labs and 502 global collaborations. CU’s CSE program is praised for practical learning, top-notch infrastructure, and supportive faculty, and the 50% scholarship makes it highly cost-effective. Student reviews rate CU slightly higher overall (4.2 vs. 3.9 for JIIT), especially for faculty approachability and campus life, while JIIT’s location is advantageous for students from NCR. Both programs offer excellent placement support, but CU’s larger scale, international exposure, and scholarship benefits make it stand out for value, while JIIT’s cyber security focus and NCR location offer targeted advantages.

The recommendation is to prefer Chandigarh University CSE with the 50% scholarship for its higher placement rate, broader industry exposure, and strong academic environment, unless your daughter has a specific interest in cyber security or values the proximity and focused environment of JIIT Noida. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: HI Kamal
Kindly share the 10th,12th and neet score before commenting.

Ans: Sri Sir, With a JEE Main percentile of 95.60 (CRL 66,467, OBC-NCL 20,457), your son is not eligible for CSE in top NITs or IIITs, as OBC closing ranks for CSE in most NITs are below 12,000–15,000 and for IIITs typically under 15,000–18,000. However, he may get lower-demand branches in newer NITs (like NIT Mizoram, Nagaland, Puducherry, or Sikkim) or CSE/IT in some GFTIs and newer IIITs with higher closing ranks, especially in CSAB rounds. VIT Chennai CSE (AI/ML) is a strong backup, but admission is strictly through VITEEE, and the seat should be held only if he has already cleared the VITEEE cutoff and completed admission formalities. With an IISER IAT score of 120, he is on the borderline for IISER Bhopal, Mohali, or Tirupati, but has a good chance for IISER Berhampur, as last year’s closing OBC ranks for these institutes were around 900–2,400 for BS-MS and BS programs. For IIST, with an OBC-NCL waitlist rank of 720, admission is possible only if the list moves significantly in the final rounds or spot admissions, which is uncertain but not impossible.

The recommendation is to keep VIT Chennai CSE (AI/ML) as a secure option, actively participate in CSAB and IISER counseling (prioritizing IISER Berhampur and Tirupati), and monitor IIST waitlist movement until the final spot round; choose VIT Chennai if no higher-preference IISER or IIST seat is confirmed, as it ensures strong placements and academic quality. In case of VIT, plese check the REFUND policy in case if you withdraw the seat. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
