Question by Ashok on Jun 16, 2024Hindi

Sir, my son is doing 12th cbse now , holds OCI. He is preparing for JEE. Pls guide on jee admission as well as TNEA process. Is there any reservation for foreign students and fees structure for both. How much percentile to get based on your knowledge. As well as top good colleges in Chennai. Thanks

Ans: Ashok Sir, Focus on Most IMPORTANT Factors you should consider for your Son which are: (1) As far as TNEA process, the cut-off for top colleges would be very high (97% & above) and most of the TN Board Students get admission into it. For CBSE Students, will be difficult for Top-Ranked Colleges in TN like Thyagarajar / PSG etc. Still you can try. (2) Your son can try through JEE for NITs / GFTIs / IIITs. Getting admission into Top of these Institutes again depends upon his Percentile in JEE-Main / JEE-Advanced. Please have this an option (3) As far as OCI is concerned, still there will be competition (4) One more better option you should DEFINITELY go for is, trying for Private Engineering Colleges, for which he should appear in, minimum 5-7 Entrance Exams (best option, apart from JEE). Why because he will a lot of options and it will be very easy for you / for your son to choose the best and most suitable, keeping in view a number of factors such as, (a) Your son's interest as far as stream is concerned (b) Reputation of University / College (c) Location (d) Placements (e) Hostel Option & (f) Travel Time Taken for College from Home. (5) Almost ALL States in India conduct its own Entrance Exams even for other States' Students. You can shortlist 2-3 States (apart from some Private Engineering Colleges' Entrance Exams) you prefer and apply accordingly, for example, SRMJEE, VITEEE, COMED-K, PESSAT & More. (6) You should definitely have Plan B & Plan C, instead of relying only on JEE. Not advisable. (7) Just for information: If you can afford, you can even go for Management Quota Seats but to book minimum 4-5 months in advance, with any college you prefer. Please note, if you want to get admission into top-ranked Private College, you will have spend minimum 50-55 Lacs (+/-) depending upon the college & stream your son prefers. Hope I have clarified your doubt.
