Question by Rishi on Aug 07, 2025Hindi

Sir,my daughter got a crl 100k and ews rank 16k in jee mains, can she get any good college's CSE/DSAI/IT in csab? Please respond

Ans: With a CRL rank of 100,000 and an EWS rank of 16,000 in JEE Mains 2025, your daughter has a fair chance of admission into some NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs through CSAB counselling, particularly for branches like CSE, Data Science & AI (DSAI), or IT. While the opening and closing ranks for popular institutes in these branches are typically competitive, seats reserved under the EWS category have slightly relaxed cutoffs compared to the general category. For example, some NITs and IIITs close EWS category admissions for CSE and related specializations around an EWS rank of 10,000 to 20,000, with opening ranks starting lower. Although her CRL rank is on the higher side for common category selection in top institutes, her EWS rank puts her in a better position for reservation benefits. Factors such as institute reputation, faculty quality, infrastructure, placement records, and industry connections remain crucial in final seat allotment processes. Monitoring seat vacancy updates and filling choices strategically in CSAB 2025 counselling rounds will improve her admission prospects.

Recommendation: With an EWS rank near 16,000, your daughter should actively participate in CSAB counselling, targeting mid-tier NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs known for good academics and placement support in CSE, DSAI, or IT branches. Remain flexible with choices and consider opening options based on seat availability to maximize admission chances. One more suggestion: Have 2-3 back-ups of Private Engineering Colleges instead of relying only on CSAB. All the best for a Prosperous Future!

Sir,can you please suggest which IIITs/NITs should we prioritize now for that rank for CSE/DSAI/IT?

Ans: Your daughter's EWS rank of 16,000 and CRL rank of 100,000 places her in a competitive position for CSAB counselling at mid-tier NITs and IIITs in CSE, Data Science & AI, and IT branches. The EWS category typically has cutoff closing ranks ranging from 5,000 to 20,000 for these branches at various institutions. For NITs, she can target institutes like NIT Agartala, NIT Meghalaya, and NIT Hamirpur where CSE EWS cutoffs often extend to 15,000-18,000. Among IIITs, IIIT Jabalpur, IIIT Dharwad, IIIT Ranchi, and IIIT Vadodara are viable options, with their CSE/IT programs having EWS cutoffs in the 16,000-20,000 range. The DSAI programs at these institutes generally have slightly higher cutoffs than CSE. Priority should be given to NIT Agartala, NIT Meghalaya for CSE if available, followed by IIIT Jabalpur and IIIT Dharwad for CSE or IT. IIIT Vadodara and IIIT Ranchi are good backup options. Essential institutional factors include NAAC/NBA accreditation, modern computing laboratories, experienced faculty with industry connections, active placement cells with 70%+ placement rates, and strong alumni networks facilitating internships and job opportunities.

Recommendation: Prioritize NIT Agartala, NIT Meghalaya for CSE, followed by IIIT Jabalpur, IIIT Dharwad for CSE/IT programs. These institutions offer quality education, decent placements, and fall within her EWS rank range, providing excellent career prospects in computer science fields. However, it is advisable to have 2-3 more backups of the the Private Engineering College instead of relying only on CSAB.

Sir but previous year IIIT Dharwad cse closing rank was around 66000 for ews type seat

Ans: As noted earlier, with a rank of 16,000, your daughter's chances for admission to IIIT Dharwad in CSE through CSAB are encouraging. Please keep in mind that closing ranks for all categories can vary each year, influenced by seat availability and application trends. For reference, the EWS category gender-neutral seats at IIIT Dharwad CSE through CSAB were approximately 9–16 in 2023 and 2024, with female EWS supernumerary seats usually limited to 2–3. I encourage you to review the latest official notifications and stay updated for the current year’s specifics. Anyway, Again, All The BEST for Your Daughter's Bright Future.
