My son is currently in class 12....scores 50% on Allen JEE advance tests conducted by Allen what's the hope in getting into IIT or NIT...what's the next choice ..He is in senior ranking group and mostly gets 7 - 10th rank of 13 students

Ans: Priya Madam, his score in ALL INDIA TEST SERIES, conducted by Allen, either offline or online by December (just before 1st JEE-Main in January / February) will be the deciding-factor (among lacs of students) on his 'Expected All India Score' and NOT where he stands among 13-stdents. Please note, there are competitors even among top coaching centers like FITJEE, AAKASH, Narayana & other Tier 1 / Tier 2 Coaching Centers all over India. It is also advisable to apply for / attempt in, minimum 5-Entrance Exams (for both Govt. & Private Colleges) as back-ups instead of relying only on JEE, due to a number of reasons. All The BEST for your Son’s Bright Future, Madam.

IIIT Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh offers B.Tech CSE with specializations including AI, business, and cybersecurity, achieving a remarkable 96.17% placement rate in 2025 with the highest package at Rs.145 LPA and the average at Rs.33.71 LPA, supported by 45+ PhD faculty and specialized research labs. IIIT Allahabad in Uttar Pradesh provides B.Tech ECE with strong electronics curriculum, NIRF rank #87 in Engineering 2024, 93% placement rate with highest Rs.121 LPA and average Rs.25.78 LPA, backed by globally-recognised faculty and research publications. IIITDM Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh delivers CSE with design-manufacturing focus, over 60 PhD faculty, 71.8% placement rate with highest Rs.122 LPA international (?110 LPA domestic) and average Rs.19.27 LPA UG, featuring robust industry collaborations and 13 CSE department faculty.

Recommendation: Prioritize IIIT Lucknow CSE for its exceptional 96% placement rate, highest average packages, comprehensive specialization options, and strong industry linkages; follow with IIIT Allahabad ECE for its prestigious NIRF ranking, established reputation, and solid core electronics foundation; consider IIITDM Jabalpur CSE for its unique design-manufacturing focus and international placement opportunities; opt for IIIT Gwalior EEE for its 100% PhD faculty strength and research excellence; and rank IIITDM Kancheepuram CSE last due to declining placement trends despite strong academic credentials and faculty qualifications.

Career

Sir,does AI(Data Science) has opportunity in future like 2030 and what will be minimum salary after studying in amrita

Ans: Garena, Before answering your question, Please note that Return on Investment (ROI), regardless of the branch or college, is not determined solely by your choice of institution or program. Several other factors significantly influence it—such as consistent academic performance over the next four years, regular skill enhancement, soft skills development, awareness of job market trends, a well-built personal profile, and maintaining a professional LinkedIn presence with clear job search strategies. ANSWER to your question: By 2030, artificial intelligence and data science roles are expected to flourish as automation creates 11 million net new jobs globally and transforms 86 percent of businesses, underscoring strong long-term demand. Data scientist employment in the U.S. alone is projected to grow 36 percent from 2023 to 2033, far outpacing average occupations and signaling robust global opportunity. At Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Coimbatore, the CSE-Data Science branch recorded a 92 percent placement rate in 2024, with the lowest on-campus offer around ?2 LPA and a median salary of ?7.6 LPA across all streams.

Recommendation: Embrace a Data Science pathway at Amrita Coimbatore for its consistent placement performance, industry-aligned curriculum, and accessible entry-level salaries, ensuring a strong foundation in a rapidly expanding field through 2030 and beyond.
