Dear Dr Pananjay Tiwari, I am currently doing my BTech Final year. I would like to pursue masters in Data science in Australia. Though the opportunities are lesser when compared to the US . I prefer it for its work life balance and culture. But my parents wanted to send me to the US as I may get higher wages .What's your view on this.

Ans: Hi...Pursuing a master’s in Data Science in Australia can be a great choice if you prioritize work-life balance, a supportive cultural environment, and high-quality education. While it’s true that the US may offer more job opportunities and potentially higher wages in the tech field, Australia also provides solid career prospects, particularly for those who value a balanced lifestyle and a diverse, welcoming community. Ultimately, the decision should reflect what you consider most important for your personal and professional growth: if you seek a better quality of life and are willing to explore opportunities in a slightly smaller market, Australia could be the right fit; however, if maximizing earnings and accessing a larger job market are your main goals, the US might be more suitable.

Hi, experts.Salutations! My kid wishes to attend RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia, to pursue a master's degree in data science. As the USA is a center for IT, I advised him to complete this course there. However, he had high standards for RMIT University, so any advice or criticism would be greatly welcomed!

Ans: Hello. First and foremost, thank you for reaching out to us. The decision to study at RMIT University in Melbourne versus studying in the USA involves important considerations.However, let me tell you that both RMIT and US universities have their own unique advantages. RMIT University is a reputed institution with an industry-connected programme in a vibrant city where US universities have unrivaled prestige, research opportunities, and access to a lot more facilities. At the end, the decision should align with your child's career aspirations, financial considerations, and personal preferences. Your child's high standards for RMIT University indicate a thoughtful approach towards education, and it is advised to support your child in the study-abroad journey.

I got 105000 rank in jee mains in which nit could I get ece seat

Ans: Korampally, with your score, securing ECE in any NIT is extremely unlikely. You may try for lower-preference branches if you still want to pursue an NIT. However, it's important to have 3-4 backup options beyond JoSAA and CSAB counseling rounds, so you’re not relying solely on those for admission. ALL the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

My son got 89 percentile in jee mains 2026 and got rank 58400 and can he get

Ans: You have not mentioned your son's home state. Anyway, please note he may get core or non-core branches in newer or lower-tier NITs, some IIITs, and GFTIs, especially in later JoSAA rounds, depending on the home-state quota and branch preferences. He can also target Tier-3 and Tier-4 NITs such as NIT Sikkim, NIT Manipur, NIT Nagaland, and NIT Arunachal for branches like Mechanical, Civil, EIE, Production, Metallurgy, and similar fields.

Additionally, exploring IIITs outside the top 5—such as IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Surat, and IIIT Kottayam—through JoSAA or CSAB rounds can be worthwhile.

Parallel options to consider include the CSAB Special Round, state government engineering colleges, and reputable private institutes in or near your home state. ALL the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Career

My Son got 94.41 percentile with AIR 87297 with Delhi domicile. He is interested in ECE branch , pls suggest.

Ans: Gaurav Sir, Based on your son's score, he can tentatively target mid-tier and newer NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs such as NIT Goa, NIT Sikkim, NIT Mizoram, IIIT Sonepat, IIIT Bhopal, IIIT Una, IIIT Kalyani, and some other GFTIs. In recent years, the ECE closing ranks for the Common Rank List (CRL) in these institutes have crossed 50,000 to 80,000, especially during the later rounds of counseling. These options could provide a realistic chance for admission in ECE. Have CSAB rounds and other 3-4 Private Engineering Colleges in and around Delhi as backup options. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Question by Atharva - Apr 27, 2026Hindi

Career

Sir, I got 91850 Rank in JEE mains General category, I am from Maharashtra Will I get and CSE Engineering government college Central or state, But branch should be CSE or ECE

Ans: Atharva, before answering your question, I want to emphasize that all branches are good. It’s important to choose based on your interest. However, also be adaptable, as your interests might change by the 2nd or 3rd year, and consider job market trends as well.

Regarding your rank of 91,850 (General category, Maharashtra HS quota), securing CSE or ECE in top central institutes like VNIT Nagpur is highly unlikely. Other NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs (such as NIT Jalandhar and IIIT Nagpur) also have closing ranks for CSE typically between 15,000 and 30,000, so admission there for CSE/ECE is not realistic.

State options like COEP Pune or VJTI Mumbai are even more competitive and likely out of reach with this rank. You can explore lower-tier GFTIs (e.g., those related to BIT Mesra) or Maharashtra state seats through MHT-CET for IT or ECE branches as alternative options. Try through CSAB rounds also. ALL the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Career

hello sir i got 95.348 percentile in jee main and sc category rank 2659 and crl 73k with HS west bengal so Which branch at which NIT would be best for me?

Ans: Dhruba, with your CRL of 73,000, SC rank 2,659, and West Bengal as your home state, your best NIT option is NIT Durgapur. Based on recent cutoff trends, you have a good chance for NIT Durgapur in branches like CSE (though not guaranteed), Mathematics & Computing, ECE, and Electrical, especially under the home-state quota. A recommended preference order is NIT Durgapur CSE → Mathematics & Computing → ECE → Electrical → Mechanical → Chemical/Metallurgy. Also consider filling choices for NIT Patna, Jamshedpur, Silchar, Agartala, Meghalaya, and Sikkim. As backups, include IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Bhagalpur, participate in state counselling, and register for the CSAB Special Round. ALL the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Career

Hello Sir, My daughter has secure 77 percentile in Jee main we r staying in Delhi and general category....she wish to take admission in BTech.... please advice for best option to take admission...

Ans: At 77 percentile, the expected CRL is likely above 3 lakh, making admission to NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs through JoSAA highly unlikely for a Delhi General category candidate. The best practical approach is to focus on Delhi-based Counselling: You can pply for JAC Delhi for DTU, NSUT, and IGDTUW, especially as a female Delhi candidate, but manage expectations toward spot rounds or lower branches. Also consider applying for IPU B.Tech Counselling for colleges like MAIT, MSIT, BVCOE, BPIT, and GTBIT. Additionally, keep 3-4 private engineering colleges in and around Delhi as backup options rather than relying solely on JoSAA, CSAB, or JAC Delhi. ALL the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!

My Son get Sc 13764 and AIR 242696 any NIT get

Ans: Based on your son's rank, securing a regular NIT seat is possible mainly in lower-demand branches and during later JoSAA or CSAB rounds, but admission to popular branches like CSE or ECE at top NITs is unlikely. Past NIT Mechanical cutoffs indicate that some lower-tier NITs admit candidates within the 8,000–18,000 SC rank range. It is important to fill all possible JoSAA and CSAB choices, keep options open for every branch, and prioritize lower-demand NITs and GFTIs. Additionally, reviewing JoSAA opening and closing ranks from the past 2–3 years will provide valuable insights to help your son confidently select and maximize his preferred choices.
