Sir, my daughter is doing her 12th now, she is aiming to get into IITs , NITs, BITS , IIITs for CS or any engineering which can make her enter into IT industry in future. Which IITs, NITs and IIITs can we prefer, we are from Chennai.

Ans: Your daughter is aspiring to gain admission to one of the IITs, NITs, BITS, or IIITs. The campus selection for your daughter will depend on the Percentile/AIR she achieves. To gain admission to a top IIT, NIT, or IIIT for the CSE branch, a minimum score of 99.00 percentile in JEE-Main is required, along with an All India Rank (AIR) below 1000 in JEE Advanced. For admission to the Pilani Campus of BITS, a minimum score of 330 out of 390 is required. In addition to JEE and BITSAT, she is eligible to take COMEDK to aim for one of the top three colleges in Bengaluru or Karnataka. I hope your daughter is attending her JEE coaching sessions. It is recommended to participate in 5-7 entrance examinations to ensure a range of options, rather than depending solely on JEE and BITSAT. Some strategies to enhance performance in JEE, BITSAT, and COMEDK examinations. (1) She should review the questions she answered incorrectly or skipped in the Mock Tests and Practice Tests she has completed to date, whether at the Coaching Center or at home, and practice them thoroughly. (2) She should familiarize herself with 20-40 previous years' JEE Question papers. (3) She should begin revising 11th Grade Chaptesr. (4) Consistent and regular revision is essential. (5) Additionally, she should practice time-bound online mock tests or test series to assess her speed and accuracy. All the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future.

Thanks a lot for your valuable response, she is going for coaching class and is trying to complete the syllabus by December, will take PYQs in Jan. Currently she is able to score 120+ in mains tests conducted in Center. As I requested, what all engineering courses can she pick for n Tier 1 colleges so that she can shift her career to IT sector

Ans: CSE-Core | CSE with Specialization like AI & ML or Data Science or Cybersecurity | ECE | ISE | IT | If she chooses any other Branch than these (example, Mechanical, EEE etc.), she will have to keep upgrading her skills in IT through NPTEL, Internshala, UpGrade etc. and / or any other online platforms for additional certifications recommended by her College Faculties.

Great details, noted, thanks Sir. Along with mechanical shall we keep civil or chemical too as last options for Tier1 colleges or are they not recommended ?

Ans: NEGATIVE. Not advisable for females. However, I came across a girl who achieved an AIR of 2392 in JEE-Advanced and secured admission to the Chemical Engineering program at IIT-Madras, as she favored the IIT-M campus over her less desired option in Chemical Engineering. She was promoted to Electrical Engineering in her2nd year and secured a campus placement as a 'Consultant' in her 4h year. She worked for two years before pursuing her higher education in the USA, however the specific master's program she selected is unknown. If your daughter cannot secure admission to any of the top five IITs, it is prudent to enroll in a reputable branch at BITS or one of the top three institutions in Tamil Nadu or Karnataka, such as PSG, SSN, RVCE, BMSCE, MSRIT, or PES. I recommended participating in 5-7 entrance examinations rather than relying just on JEE and BITSAT. Many parents and students make this error, subsequently facing difficulties in securing admission to the desired branch of study. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future.
