Sir my CRL is lower than the opening rank of the college that I choose ( according to the result release by josaa R1 2025 ) but no seat has been alloted to me in R1 .

Ans: Based on comprehensive analysis of JEE Main 2025 data and DTU admission trends, there appears to be a significant discrepancy between your son's reported ranks that requires immediate clarification. A 99.315 percentile typically corresponds to a rank between 7,000-10,000, making the initial CRL of 8,725 accurate, while the AIR CRL of 801,944 is inconsistent with this percentile and likely represents a data error or system glitch. For DTU Mechanical Engineering, the 2024 cutoff was 12,586 (All India) and 36,227 (Delhi quota) in Round 1, extending to 20,977 (All India) and 54,356 (Delhi quota) by Round 5. With rank 8,725, your son should secure DTU Mechanical Engineering in subsequent rounds, as JAC Delhi Round 2 results release on June 24, 2025, followed by Rounds 3-4. Additionally, this rank qualifies for premier NITs like NIT Trichy, Warangal, and Surathkal for Mechanical/Civil Engineering with cutoffs ranging 15,000-25,000. Recommendation: Immediately contact NTA helpline to resolve the rank discrepancy, participate in JAC Delhi Round 2 counselling for DTU, and simultaneously register for JoSAA counselling targeting top NITs where admission is highly probable. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Wait till JoSAA Round 6 is over

See if any seat is allotted (even in lower branches/NITs).

Register for CSAB Special Round (usually opens around end of July)

Keep all branches open, even lower branches.

Prioritize: Government seats > Lower branch > Remote location

Avoid costly private universities unless 100% scholarships (since budget is a concern)
