For b.tech priority should be institute or stream. Like my have chances of getting electrical/ mechincal/ chemical in DTU OR NSUT. CSE/IT in Guru Govind singh indraprastha University. He wants to go in for coding. In some NIT/IIIT he can get ECE also. We r from Delhi. Pl advise

Ans: Samriti Madam, if your son wants to go for coding, better to avoid other Branches like Electronics, Electrical & Mechanical. Better to go for CSE with GGSIPU. Whatever Institute / University & Branch your Son chooses, he should keep upgrading his skills from his 1st year itself till his Campus Placement during his last year, from NPTEL, Internshala etc. and / or any other online platforms, recommended by his College Faculties, to be COMPETENT among other Students.

All The BEST for your Son’s Bright Future, Madam.

Sir, What shall be chosen B Tech CSE with DS at SRM KTR or Btech IT at JIIT Noida

Ans: Both are good options. SRM is more crowded and costly than JIIT. Choose SRM for maximum placement potential and JIIT for value and location preference. As an aside, prefer CSE+DS @ SRM KTR if possible.

I got 2300 OBC RANK IN JEE B ARCH.BUT MY 12 PERCENTAGE IS 73.5.CAN I APPLY FOR JOSAA OR WAIT FOR MY IMPROVME NT RESULT THEN APPLY FOR CSAP. One more answer whether the result of improvement come before CSAP counselling ,

Ans: You can apply for JoSAA now, but for CSAB, you should wait for improvement results if they can raise your 75% eligibility, because CSAB eligibility requires meeting criteria. Improvement results usually come before CSAB rounds, but timing is not guaranteed, so plan cautiously. It is better to explore other options from a safer point of view.
