My son is in class X , CBSE board will will appear board next year .He is good in physics, chemistry and english... average in biology, but doesn't like maths and getting around 50-55% marks in marks since last 2 years. What subject combination you suggest for him in XI considering he will pursue for science stream

Ans: Hi, the NTA has not released the marks and rank list yet. You will need to wait for that information. Based on your prediction of scoring 320 marks in NEET, there are slim chances of securing admission in highly ranked government medical colleges. For updates, please keep an eye on the official websites.
BEST WISHES.
POOCHO. LIFE CHANGE KARO!

Ans: Yes, based on your academic history, you may be asked to provide a gap certificate at the time of admission in IITs, NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs, especially if there is a clear one-year academic gap (i.e., between Class 10 and Class 11). While it's not always mandatory, some institutes do request it during document verification.
You can get a Gap Certificate by:

Drafting an affidavit on a ?10 or ?20 non-judicial stamp paper.

Getting it notarized by a Notary Public in your city.

Ans: CSE with AI / Cyber Security are solid options with good placements if she is interested in CS.

VIT Bhopal is improving, but placements are slightly lower than VIT Vellore and Chennai, so choosing a specialization with high demand like AI/ML or Cybersecurity is advisable.

Ans: Prepare for next year

Ans: Mathematics and Computing is a more future-proof and versatile choice in today’s software-driven and data-centric world, especially if you are interested in coding, algorithms, or data science.

But if you are passionate about electronics, circuits, telecom, or embedded systems, ECE is also an evergreen and rewarding option.

Ans: VIT-AP CSE

Ans: Prefer Chitkara CSE (AI & ML) over Thapar Civil

Ans: IIIT Dharwad and IIIT Raichur

Ans: With a 91 JEE Main percentile (AIR ~85,000), securing IT at VIT Vellore (Category 5) is feasible given its 2024 cutoff range of 19,200–19,500, though higher fees (?7.8L tuition + ?4.23L hostel) apply. NMIMS Mumbai’s CSE (Data Science), requiring NMIMS CET ranks (~12,000–15,000), offers a niche curriculum with industry partnerships (TCS, IBM) but lacks VIT’s ABET accreditation and established engineering reputation (NIRF #11 vs. NMIMS #101-150). His MET score of 132 (rank ~18,000–25,000) may qualify for ECE/IT at Manipal Bengaluru (2024 cutoff: ~23,458–34,532). While VIT provides stronger core IT infrastructure (smart labs, 980+ recruiters), NMIMS’s data science focus aligns with emerging tech trends. Board marks (73%) may limit state exam options; await MHT CET/COMEDK for potential CSE in regional colleges. Prioritize VIT for institutional legacy or NMIMS for specialization, pending further results. All the BEST for your Son's Admission & a Prosperous Future!
