I'm an IIT Madras BS-MS student in Biological Sciences. Should I switch to VIT Vellore for a CS degree?

Ans: Potential NITs and Branches:

Top NITs: Securing branches like Civil Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, or Production Engineering in premier NITs such as NIT Trichy, NIT Warangal, or NIT Surathkal is plausible. While highly sought-after branches like Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) might have higher cut-offs, your PwD status enhances your chances.

Mid-Tier NITs: Institutes like NIT Durgapur, NIT Jamshedpur, and NIT Calicut may offer branches such as Electrical Engineering (EE), Mechanical Engineering (ME), or Chemical Engineering.

Newer NITs: NITs established more recently, such as NIT Uttarakhand, NIT Goa, and NIT Sikkim, often have more flexible cut-offs, increasing the likelihood of securing a seat in branches like Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) or Information Technology (IT).

Ans: At the time of form fill up give your 1st choice at first place even if there is no chance of getting that option. Then fill up other choices as per your preference. See previous year cut off.

Ans: Potential NITs and Branches:

Top NITs: Securing CSE in premier NITs such as NIT Trichy, NIT Warangal, or NIT Surathkal might be challenging due to higher cutoffs. However, branches like Electrical Engineering (EE), Mechanical Engineering (ME), or Civil Engineering (CE) could be attainable.

Mid-Tier NITs: Institutes like NIT Durgapur, NIT Hamirpur, and NIT Raipur may offer CSE seats for candidates with a 98 percentile. Other branches such as Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) and Information Technology (IT) are also likely options.

Newer NITs: NITs established more recently, such as NIT Andhra Pradesh, NIT Goa, and NIT Sikkim, often have relatively lower cutoffs, increasing the probability of securing a CSE seat.

Ans: Expected NITs & Available Branches at 95 Percentile (OBC)
Top-Mid Tier NITs (Less Competitive Branches)
NIT Durgapur – Civil, Mechanical, Chemical
NIT Jamshedpur – Civil, Production, Metallurgy
NIT Silchar – Electrical, Mechanical, Civil
NIT Raipur – Mechanical, Civil, Chemical
Newer NITs (Better Branch Chances)
NIT Uttarakhand – CSE, ECE, Mechanical
NIT Goa – ECE, Electrical, Mechanical
NIT Puducherry – ECE, Mechanical, Civil
NIT Andhra Pradesh – CSE (Borderline), ECE, Electrical
NIT Agartala – CSE, ECE, Mechanical, Civil
NIT Meghalaya – CSE, ECE, Electrical
NIT Sikkim – CSE, ECE

Ans: If your son improves his JEE Mains percentile to 98 percentile in Session 2, he has a good chance of getting into NITs.

Ans: Chances are always higher in mains 2. He will definitely get ece or computer science.

Ans: Go to Basics concept and numericals.

Ans: Category? For general, may be IIIT
