I have completed class 12th from Maharashtra board in 2023 can I reappear in class 12th board exam in Feb 2026 to improve my score through form no 17 ?? Is it risky for my career in medical feild??

Ans: At VITEEE rank 24,000, Vellore CSE Core/CSE top specialisations up to Category 2 are very unlikely. Recently published cut-off patterns show Vellore CSE Category 2 closing much earlier, while Chennai CSE-specialisations may stretch closer but are still risky.

Choice filling order: Vellore CSE Core → Vellore CSE AI/ML → Vellore CSE Data Science → Vellore CSE Cyber Security → Chennai CSE Core → Chennai CSE AI/ML → Chennai CSE Data Science → Chennai CSE Cyber Security → Chennai IT/ECE.

Since you can afford only Category 2, add backups: VIT-AP/ Bhopal CSE and 2-3 more reputed private colleges (such as Sastra, Sathyabhama, SNU, Karunya etc.) in and around Tamil Nadu State All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: At JEE Main 95.7 percentile, OBC-NCL, Tamil Nadu, NIT Trichy CSE/ECE is unlikely; try NIT Trichy Mechanical/Chemical/Civil/Production/Metallurgy through HS quota. Also fill IIITDM Kancheepuram ECE/Mechanical/Smart Manufacturing, IIIT Sri City, IIIT Kottayam, GFTIs and CSAB rounds. JoSAA uses category rank for OBC-NCL cut-offs, so check exact OBC rank carefully.

With AEEE rank 10000, Amrita is a strong option: prefer Coimbatore ECE/EEE/Mechanical or Bengaluru/Amritapuri CSE-specialisations, if available. Amrita lists Coimbatore, Bengaluru, Amritapuri, Chennai and other campuses for BTech. All the Best for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Ans: If your daughter gets CSE in SRM KTR Phase 2, the previously paid ECE fee is usually adjusted. However, any fee difference must be paid additionally. All the Best for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!
