Sir BBA is better or BMS which one , as per today market which is in demand (also BMS is old established in year 2000 so is it irrelevant) Also which are top 5 colleges in mumbai for BBA and for BMS, How is wilson college for BMS does it have good industry connect and good placements And how is BBA in Thakur College engineering and technology, kandivali, does it have placements. Also at 92 percentile which college to target for BBA and BMS ,If BMS then NM college (not NMIMS) or wilson which one is good through MH CET BBA/BMS

Ans: Jaspal Sir, With a CRL of 85,685 in the General category from Chandigarh, admission to CSE or IT branches in NITs and IIITs through regular JoSAA is very difficult. PEC Chandigarh, your son's best Chandigarh-linked option, is also unlikely for CSE/IT, as 2025 closing ranks for CSE/Data Science branches were much earlier, and even lower PEC branches in CSAB closed between 50,000 and 82,000. You can still try for these choices and also consider CSAB options for lower-tier IIITs and GFTIs if desired. However, it is important to keep realistic backups such as UIET Chandigarh, CCET Chandigarh, Chitkara, Chandigarh University, CGC Landran/Jhanjeri, Thapar, IPU colleges, and private colleges in UP and Haryana. For CSE and IT, private or state counselling routes are generally better options. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Ans: Rajeev Sir, With a 99.42 percentile and CRL of 9,337, your son has good chances for ECE in some strong NITs and IIITs, though admission to NIT Surathkal ECE is unlikely since the 2025 Karnataka home-state ECE closing rank was around 5,345 and EEE around 6,674. Nonetheless, it’s worth trying for these choices. Other good options include NIT Calicut, VNIT Nagpur, NIT Durgapur, NIT Kurukshetra, NIT Jalandhar, NIT Silchar, NIT Delhi, and NIT Goa for ECE, followed by newer NITs. IIIT Bangalore ECE is borderline with low chances, as the 2025 closing rank was about 7,222, but it’s advisable to keep it on the list. As backups, consider IIIT Sri City, Kottayam, and Dharwad for ECE/CSE-related branches, and also private colleges like RVCE, BMS, and MSRIT through KCET or COMEDK, where your son’s chances of securing a rank below 100 are high. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Ans: Anvita Madam, you have not mentioned your son's Home State. At a 95.32 percentile, the expected CRL is around 55,000 to 70,000. Admission to top NIT CSE and ECE branches is difficult, but your son can target core branches in lower-tier NITs such as Agartala, Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, and Puducherry. For IIITs, he can consider ECE or CSE in newer IIITs like Bhagalpur, Kalyani, Dharwad, Una, Kottayam, and Sri City, especially through later rounds or CSAB Special Rounds. Additionally, he should fill choices for GFTIs and actively participate in CSAB Special Rounds. It is also advisable to keep backup options ready with 3-4 reputable private engineering colleges in and around your state, along with good state engineering colleges. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Ans: Vijay Sir, With a CRL of 12,780 and Karnataka General category, admission to NIT Surathkal in CSE, AI, or ECE is difficult since 2025 home-state closing ranks were approximately CSE 2,726, AI 3,579, ECE 5,349, and IT 4,086, while Mechanical closed around 11,806. NIT Trichy and Warangal for CSE, AI, and ECE are also unlikely due to your son's other state category, as their cutoffs for these branches are much higher-ranked. IIIT Bangalore appears difficult as well, with 2025 cutoffs around CSE 5,516, DSAI 6,855, ECE 7,222, and iMTech ECE 7,661. Recommended backup options include NIT Surathkal Mechanical or Chemical branches, IIIT Sri City, Kottayam, or Dharwad for CSE/AI, NIT Calicut or Goa for ECE, and private colleges through COMEDK and KCET. Since your son aims for CSE and allied branches as well as ECE, it’s advisable to also focus on KCET and COMEDK counselling, where with his JEE Main score of 99.20 percentile, he is likely to secure a rank below 100–150 (from KCET/COMEDK), making admission to one of the top three colleges in Karnataka highly probable. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Ans: With a CRL of 65,000 as a Delhi General candidate, admission to top NIT and IIIT branches is difficult, but core branches are possible in lower-tier NITs and GFTIs, mainly through CSAB Special Rounds. Your son can consider Mechanical, Civil, Chemical, Metallurgy, and Production branches at NIT Agartala, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Puducherry, and various GFTIs. For Delhi quota, he should also apply through JAC Delhi, as lower branches at DTU and NSUT may be available around or after spot rounds. It’s advisable to keep 3-4 backup options in private engineering colleges in and around Delhi as well. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Ans: KCET engineering rank is calculated using 50% KCET PCM score plus 50% 2nd PUC PCM marks. With a KCET score of 141 out of 180, your KCET part translates to approximately 39.17 out of 50. To secure a rank below 1,000, you should aim for at least 290 out of 300 in PCM in your 2nd PUC exams, preferably 295 or higher, as 141 in KCET is good but may not guarantee a top 1,000 rank. The final rank will depend on the difficulty level of the 2026. ALL the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: Shilpa Madam, With a CRL of 1,20,465 and OBC-NCL rank of 40,064, admission to Mechanical branches in good NITs is difficult, as most NIT Mechanical OBC closing ranks are much lower. Since you are based in Chandigarh, your son's best government option is PEC Chandigarh, a GFTI participating in JoSAA and CSAB, but even PEC Mechanical home-state trends typically have much lower CRL cutoffs, so chances remain low. However, your son can fill choices including PEC Mechanical, Civil, and Production branches; Mechanical at NIT Puducherry, Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Nagaland, Manipur, and Sikkim; and other GFTIs. It is also advisable to consider backup options such as Chandigarh University, Chitkara, CGC Landran/Jhanjeri, UIET Hoshiarpur, Thapar, private colleges in Punjab and Haryana, and state counselling. Participating in the CSAB Special Round is very important, as it often offers improved admission opportunities. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Ans: Hi Su,
GREETINGS FROM THE REDIFFGURUS!

Based on your rank and domicile, there are opportunities in Warangal for an Integrated MSc, with a high probability for Civil Engineering, good possibilities for Biotech, and potential for Chemical Engineering in the CSAB round.

For other NITs, there are possibilities for Mechanical and Electrical Engineering in Srinagar, as well as ECE or Mechanical in NIT Mizoram, Nagaland, and Sikkim.

Additionally, possible for Civil or Mechanical Engineering in Durgapur and Jalandhar.

In general, at top NITs possible to get less competitive branches, while in newer NITs, chances are to secure ECE or CSE (sometimes). In mid-tier NITs, Electrical or Mechanical Engineering is possible.

I encourage you to actively participate in the counseling process to achieve your goals.

BEST WISHES.

Ans: HI RITESH,
GREETINGS FROM THE REDIFFGURUS!
Best Options for Corporate Law::
MNLU Nagpur and MNLU Aurangabad stand out as formidable options, largely due to their advantageous location near Mumbai's thriving legal hub.
Other potential NLUs to consider include NLUJA Assam, DBRANLU Sonepat, HPNLU Shimla, and RPNLU Prayagraj.

Waitlist Status at SLS:
It is common to be placed on a waitlist at SLS. If your daughter's waitlist number is low (less than 100), there is a possibility of securing a seat.

Comparison Between NLU and SLS:
If she gets admission to MNLU Mumbai or MNLU Nagpur, then an NLU is the best choice. Otherwise, SLS Pune is a better option.
