Hi sir, I have completed Diploma in Automobile and Btech thru IME in Mechanical. And working in Construction industry for past 19 years. Want to pursue futher education to support career growth or other opportunities. Kindly suggest

Ans: Hello, Congrats on your son's JEE Mains score of 89550. Or is the OBC non-creamy layer score? Is my assumption correct? DO LET ME KNOW POST HASTE. If this the overall score then your has a good chance of securing admission in lesser known NITs, newer IIITs as also in the government funded technical institutions. By narrowing down your choices of institutions near Chandigarh--closer home --may not be a good idea.

Ans: Chances of getting into Mathematics & Computing (M&C) Engineering at top colleges are slim, but you may get it in some newer or lower IIITs or state/private colleges through counselling. Keep M&C as an ambitious option and include CSE/IT/ECE backups too.

Good luck.

Ans: Chances at top NITs are very slim. But she may have some chance at lower/mid NITs or newer NITs for CSE/IT, depending on exact JoSAA cutoffs and round movement. Consider other lower branches for better chances of admission in further rounds.

Good luck.

Ans: Sarita Madam, I noticed you haven’t mentioned your daughter’s home state. Please note that BITS requires a minimum of 250 marks even for its MSc programs and above 300 marks for BE programs. Also, all branches are good; initially, she should choose a branch based on her interest or passion. However, she should remain adaptable as her preferences or job market trends may change by the 2nd or 3rd year. Regarding your daughter’s score, admission to NITs, IIITs, or top-tier GFTIs is unlikely. For general-category female candidates, even CSE-lite branches in newer IIITs usually require ranks under approximately 1.5 to 2.5 lakh. Still, it is advisable to register for JoSAA and CSAB-SPOT for possible core-branch or self-finance options in lesser-known GFTIs. Additionally, state counseling is important for government-aided colleges.

As a backup, consider reputed private engineering colleges in and around your state rather than relying solely on JoSAA or CSAB. All the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!

Ans: Based on your daughter's score, she can target MNNIT Allahabad: 2024 JoSAA HS OPEN female Mechanical closed around 30,734, so she has a fair chance; Production/Industrial and Materials are safer. Chemical at MNNIT may be tougher under available data, but fill it above Mechanical. Also fill MNIT Jaipur Chemical/Civil, NIT Kurukshetra Mechanical/Civil/Electrical as stretch, and NIT Jalandhar Chemical/Mechanical; 2024 data shows these branches often close beyond 24.5k for female/OS or comparable quotas. Also fill MNIT Jaipur Chemical/Civil, NIT Kurukshetra Mechanical/Civil/Electrical as stretch, and NIT Jalandhar Chemical/Mechanical; 2024 data shows these branches often close beyond 24.5k for female/Other State or comparable quotas. For IIITs, top IIIT Allahabad IT/ECE is unlikely at 24.5k, but include lower IIITs/GFTIs in CSAB. Your daughter must also have the following backups: Thapar, LNMIIT, Jaypee Noida, (Shiv Nadar, Manipal, and VIT - North India Campuses.) Prioritize MNNIT tag if higher studies are the plan for your daughter. All the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!

Ans: HI
GREETINGS FROM REDIFFGURUS!
Is it for PCB or PCM?
BEST WISHES.

Ans: HI SIR,
GREETINGS FROM THE REDIFFGURUS!
Please provide details about your category so I can offer more accurate information.

Ans: HI ARYAN,
Based on the rank and domicile category, it is achievable to secure admission at Hamirpur for less competitive branches during the CSAB rounds. The following outlines the possibilities for various engineering disciplines:

- High to moderate possibilities for:
- Materials Science
- Chemical Engineering
- Civil Engineering
- Engineering Physics

- Low to difficult chances for:
- Computer Science (CSE)
- Electronics & Communication (ECE)
- Mathematics & Computing
Based on your interests, you can prepare accordingly and achieve success in the counseling process.
