Question by Archana on Jul 26, 2025Hindi

Sir, my daughter got 63836 rank in JEE mains , no reservations.. She is interested in CSE but she is not alloted any seat in Josaa..should we go with CSAB, if yes, which are good ? She agreed to take ECE or EEE also if CSE is not alloted in a good college.. Please guide us, We are thinking of taking a seat in ANITS vizag in CS cybersecurity which she got from APEapcet rank 10k...just in case she is not alloted any seat in CSAB in good colleges..

Ans: Archana Madam, Her JEE Main rank of 63,836 falls well outside the General closing ranks for CSE (top NITs close under 25,000, IIITs under 40,000 GFTIs under 60,000) but is within reach for ECE or EEE in select CSAB-participating institutes. NIT Nagaland’s ECE closed around 83,000 and EEE around 90,000 in 2024, making ECE at NIT Nagaland a viable CSAB option, while CSE remains out of reach. GFTIs such as Central Institute of Technology Kokrajhar admit CSE applicants up to rank 150,500 and ECE to 205,678, and Central University of Rajasthan (CURAJ) closed CSE at 87,826 and ECE at 137,220, offering solid CSAB opportunities in both branches. Assam University Silchar also allowed CSE up to 98,880 and ECE to 144,200, with robust infrastructure and 65–75% placements. ANITS Vizag’s BTech in CSE-Cybersecurity (AP EAPCET rank ~10,000) provides a strong alternative, boasting a 95% departmental placement rate and 50 recruiter partnerships over the last three years, but it carries higher private-college fees and lower national brand value.

Recommendation: Pursue CSAB seats in ECE at NIT Nagaland or in CSE/ECE at CIT Kokrajhar, CURAJ, or Assam University Silchar, as they align with her JEE rank, offer recognized degrees, and maintain 65–90% placement rates, while keeping the ANITS CSE-Cybersecurity seat as a dependable backup. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Sir, I forgot to mention that she is allotted MECHATRONICS in SASTRA university...as she opted for mechatronics after all CSE branches..we were not knowing But she fears of studying mechanics and electrical core subjects..that's why we went for local AP colleges..morever sastra fees is also very high..but still have a wavering thought about it..we have paid fee at SAStra which is refundable..shall we withdraw and go for ANITS VIZAG ? As you said, in CSAB , she will be alloted in NITS which are in Eastern states..her father is not interested to join her there.. Is there any chance if getting CSE or Ece in IIIT colleges of South India? How are IIIT Raichur or Bhagalpur ? Are they having placements ? How far is it good to send her to raichur , bhagalpur IIIT than ANITS VizAG

Ans: With a JEE Main rank of 63,836 and no seat allotted in JoSAA, participation in CSAB rounds is advisable, though chances of securing CSE/ECE in top South Indian IIITs are limited due to typically higher cutoffs. IIIT Raichur and Bhagalpur, newer Indian Institutes of Information Technology, offer CSE/ECE with moderate placement records (placement rates around 70–80%) and developing infrastructure; they provide better exposure than some local private colleges but less than established institutions like ANITS Vizag, which has stronger industry ties and more consistent placements, especially in CS Cybersecurity. ANITS is well-regarded in Andhra Pradesh and offers a good computer science environment with reasonable fees and proximity. Mechatronics at SASTRA is more core-engineering focused with high fees and heavier mechanics/electrical content, which may not align with her interests. Considering family preferences and academic interests, ANITS Vizag’s CS Cybersecurity or possibly ECE branches offers a balanced option.

Recommendation
Withdraw from SASTRA to join ANITS Vizag in Cybersecurity for a supportive environment aligned with her interests, reasonable fees, and better local accessibility. Pursue CSAB for seats in East/North IIITs only if willing to relocate. Prioritize known, well-placed institutes matching her domain preference and family convenience.
