Dear sir , I got 85.9 %ile jee mains and 72 % in HSC boards . Can I get MIT-WPU CSE or AI and ML ? Please let me know at your earliest convenience.

Ans: Sai, yes, MIT-WPU AI & ML is possible, but CSE is difficult at an 85.9 JEE percentile. You meet eligibility: MIT-WPU requires a minimum 50% Class 12/HSC aggregate for B.Tech CSE, and selection is based on JEE/MHT-CET/PERA score + SOP. As per 2025 CAP Round 1, Computer Engineering closed around the 91.13 percentile, while AI & ML closed around 87.93 percentile. So apply, but keep backups like IT, E&TC, Mechanical, MIT-AOE, DY Patil, PCCOE, VIIT. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

87 pacntile Obc ncl rajasthan me mbm Jodhpur cs mil sakti h kya

Ans: Based on your score, MBM Jodhpur CSE is borderline to possible, because educational cut-off trackers report MBM CSE around 85 percentile in recent REAP trends, but official MBM admission is through REAP counselling, not JoSAA. Best strategy is to fill MBM CSE, AI/DS, IT/ECE, then other Rajasthan government/REAP colleges like CTA Udaipur, RTU Kota, ECB Bikaner, plus private backups JECRC, SKIT, Poornima, Arya, LNCT/AKTU options. For MBM, also stay active till upward movement/spot rounds. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

I am genuinely very confused and scared because I can't get (for BTech) CSE core, CSE specialisation or ECE at any good and reputable colleges (as far as I have researched).

Hey , got 88.15 percentile , 183797 rank , delhi home state , gen category Any chnaces of igdtuw ( any branch)

Ans: Yes, if you are a female candidate, IGDTUW has a good chance for “any branch” under the Delhi general quota. JAC Delhi 2025 Round-1 Delhi General closing ranks were around CSE 43,914, IT 55,952, ECE 69,167, MAE 80,688, and DMAM 82,511, so at CRL 1,83,797, top branches are difficult in normal rounds. But official JAC Delhi publishes round-wise cutoffs, and later/spot rounds can go lower depending on vacancies. For JoSAA NIT/IIIT/GFTI CSE/ECE/Electrical, chances are very low at this CRL for the general category. Strategy: fill IGDTUW all branches, DTU/NSUT lower branches if allowed, JAC spot round, IPU counselling, IIITD unlikely, and backups like MAIT, MSIT, BPIT, USAR, JIIT, AKTU and reputed private colleges. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!
