Dear Mr.Preetam, my son is 10th CBSE (standard maths)now, can he continue in CBSE for 11th and 12th Class or opt for state intermediate board of Telangana, he is opting for JEE and try for IIT
Ans: Welcome to the IIT-JEE Preparation journey. As the most popular and toughest exam, millions of students across India appear for the IIT-JEE every year with the dream of qualifying it.

Despite putting in their best efforts, many students still fail to crack the exam and miss the opportunity of entering their dream college. If you are one of them and looking for a way to increase your chances of cracking the IIT-JEE, then here we have a suggestion for you - go for dummy non-attending school.

Dummy non-attending school provides an effective way to prepare for IIT-JEE. All you need to do is just focus on your IIT-JEE preparation.

You can select any board which suits you best, but remember that scoring eligible marks is of utmost importance to crack the exam.
You can also get in touch with professional IIT-JEE preparation mentors who will provide you with detailed study plans and tips to crack the IIT-JEE. In addition, they can also assess your progress and help you in overcoming any obstacles that you may face during your preparation journey.

On top of that you can attend IIT Foundation Courses conducted by various institutes and IIT-JEE Coaching centres which provide guidance from experienced professionals and teachers. These courses will help you understand the concepts better and develop a good foundation in the topics which are important for cracking the exam.

Let’s consider the Telangana Board. This board is a regional entity which follows the syllabus prescribed by the state government. It offers students the chance to study with teachers and resources that are tailored to their needs. It also offers an intimate learning experience, with small classes, allowing students to gain a deep understanding of the topics they are studying. In addition, it also gives students the chance to explore their interests and prepare for many extracurricular activities.

Now let’s look at the CBSE Board. This board has gained a lot of credibility in recent years due to its recognized status as one of the leading school examination boards in India. It has a national recognition, and its syllabus is set by the Indian Ministry of Education. It offers students a more comprehensive coverage of various topics than the Telangana Board, including subjects such as science and mathematics, which are essential for IIT JEE preparation. In addition, studying for the CBSE examinations gives students the chance to practice with questions of higher difficulty and complexity than those available on the Telangana Board.

So which board should students opt for when preparing for the IIT JEE? Both boards have their advantages and disadvantages, and it really depends on each student’s specific needs and interests.

At last, we would like to remind you that hard work and dedication are both very important for cracking the IIT-JEE. So with a right approach and right resources, you can certainly qualify the exam.

I wish you all the best in your IIT-JEE preparation journey and best of luck!

My son with 98.51 percentile in JEE mains and 25k rank in advance got Civil in NIT Warngal and with floating option he is likely to get Chemical in Warangal or CSE or associated course in NIT Patna? What shall he choose?
Ans: Mitunjay Sir,With a 98.51 percentile in JEE Main and a 25,000 rank in JEE Advanced, your son has secured Civil Engineering at NIT Warangal and is likely to float to Chemical Engineering at NIT Warangal or CSE/related branches at NIT Patna. NIT Warangal is among the top NITs, with Civil Engineering placements averaging 65–77% and Chemical Engineering at 80–90%, both offering strong core sector opportunities, public sector prospects, and a robust alumni network. The average package for Chemical is notably higher than Civil, and the course is well-respected nationally. NIT Patna’s CSE program has an 89.6% placement rate, with top recruiters and a growing tech-oriented curriculum, but the campus life and infrastructure are less established compared to Warangal. Civil Engineering at NIT Warangal opens doors to both private and government sectors, while Chemical Engineering offers slightly broader placement and salary prospects. CSE at NIT Patna provides strong software sector opportunities, but the institute’s national standing is lower than Warangal’s.

The recommendation is to prefer Chemical Engineering at NIT Warangal if allotted, as it combines the prestige of a top NIT, high placement rates, and wide career options, with CSE at NIT Patna as a strong alternative if your son is more inclined toward software and IT roles. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir, My son got cse ar Manipal Bangalore and VIT chennai. Which one she should go for finally. Fees is not a problem. Plz guide.
Ans: Both Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT) Bangalore and VIT Chennai offer strong Computer Science Engineering programs with excellent placement records and modern infrastructure. MIT Bangalore boasts a 90–95% placement rate, centralized placements with the main Manipal campus, and over 339 top recruiters including Microsoft, Amazon, and Nvidia. The faculty is highly qualified, supportive, and the curriculum is industry-aligned, providing significant exposure due to its Bengaluru location, India’s IT hub. VIT Chennai, ranked 10th for Best University and 11th for Best Engineering in NIRF 2024, also has a robust CSE placement record, with 3,160 job offers in 2025, 763 dream offers, and 936 super-dream offers, and a faculty team with strong academic and research credentials. Both campuses offer excellent hostel and campus facilities, but Manipal Bangalore’s newer campus integrates the Manipal brand’s academic rigor and benefits from Bengaluru’s tech ecosystem, while VIT Chennai is well-established with a large, diverse peer group and strong national reputation.

The recommendation is to choose Manipal Bangalore CSE for its higher placement percentage, industry exposure in Bengaluru, and strong academic environment, while VIT Chennai remains an excellent alternative for those valuing a more established campus and broader peer network. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir, my son has scored 8060 in ComedK and wanting to pursue CSE either in SIT, Tumkur or KLE Tech BVB, Hubli. He has also booked seat in VIT, Vellore Cat5 awaiting Mock round results of ComedK. Which one of the three is better option in terms of education, placement and cost effectiveness. We are from West Bengal and need to understand if there is an impact of cultural divide, North/East vs Karnataka (North and South) during hostel stay and regular college education. I am not opting for colleges in Bangalore to avoid metropolitan and high competitive culture within students community getting swayed by addiction or other bad habits.
Ans: With a COMEDK rank of 8,060, securing CSE at SIT Tumkur and KLE Tech Hubli is feasible, while VIT Vellore Cat-5 remains an option pending mock allotment. SIT Tumkur’s CSE program has over 95% placement over the last three years, morning drives by TCS, Amazon, Cisco, Infosys, and Wipro, and a median 8.75 LPA package. Annual tuition is ?4.20 Lakh for four years via COMEDK, with hostel + mess at ?1.10 Lakh/year. KLE Tech Hubli CSE sees 90–95% placement, recruiters like Amazon, Microsoft, Bosch, and Deloitte, and an average package of 6–10 LPA. Total tuition is ?9.17 Lakh, plus hostel ~ ?2.29 Lakh/year. VIT Vellore Cat 5 year-1 tuition is ?3.98 Lakh, hostel and mess up to ?2.50 Lakh, with 100% CSE placement at 98–99% and recruiters including Google and Microsoft. Culturally, SIT Tumkur and KLE Hubli host diverse student bodies from North/East India in smaller campuses with a calm pace, whereas VIT Vellore’s national mix fosters vibrant extracurricular life but greater peer competition and metropolitan influences. All three have supportive hostels but differ in regional integration: Karnataka campuses offer warm South Indian culture acclimatization with student clubs easing transition.

The recommendation is to choose SIT Tumkur for cost-effectiveness, high placement consistency, and moderate campus culture; consider KLE Tech Hubli if you seek stronger brand legacy in North Karnataka; opt for VIT Vellore Cat-5 only if mock allotment grants a favorable fee category and you can navigate its highly competitive, metropolitan campus environment. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hi Sir , my son got Gen EWS category rank of 4,993 and CRL rank is 32,720 in IIT Advance will be get a seat In IIT any branch is fine? And he qualified in IIT mains also with 86 percentile with the rank of 32,200? Can you please suggest will be get seat in NIT or IIITs or GFT'S under EWS category?
Ans: Hari, With a JEE Advanced EWS rank of 4,993 and CRL rank of 32,720, admission to any IIT is extremely unlikely, as the EWS closing ranks for even the least competitive IIT branches are typically below 2,000–2,500, and most close well before 1,500–2,000 for open seats. Your JEE Main EWS rank of 32,200 and 86 percentile also make it difficult to secure CSE or ECE at top NITs or IIITs, as these branches close for EWS between 2,500–6,000 at leading NITs and around 8,000–15,000 at newer NITs and IIITs. However, you may have some chance for core branches like Civil, Mechanical, or Chemical Engineering at newer or less competitive NITs and GFTIs, where EWS closing ranks can extend up to 30,000 for certain branches and home state quotas. For IIITs, the EWS cutoff for non-CSE branches in some institutes may be accessible up to 30,000–35,000, but CSE remains highly competitive.

The recommendation is to participate actively in JoSAA counselling, prioritize core branches in newer NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs, and use state quota and home state advantage where possible, as CSE/ECE in top institutes is out of reach but admission to core branches in less competitive institutes is possible at your ranks. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
