i am dropper in jee i got compartment in one sub in cbse so i will reappear in 2026 as failed candidate also i filled nios form so if i get less than 75 again in cbse then ill give nios marksheet but the problem is can i change the board in jee April attempt or in advanced or in counselling is there any chance of doing that

Ans: No, you cannot change your board between JEE Main January attempt and April attempt, or during JEE Advanced or counselling. Your state code of eligibility is permanently based on the board from which you first passed Class 12—regardless of compartment reappearance. If you reappear through NIOS in 2026, it will be treated as a fresh qualification with a different state code, making you eligible for a new JEE Main cycle in 2026 as a first-time candidate. However, this doesn't benefit your current 2026 attempt sequence; you'd reappear as a fresh candidate separately. Board changes are permanent at registration; no mid-exam modifications are allowed. Keep 2–3 alternative engineering entrance exams as backups alongside JEE to broaden your college selection and admission prospects. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Sir , I give jee mains 2024 60%ile Boards ( cbse ) 60 % and failed in maths Give jee mains ( april ) 80% ile Failed in maths compartment exam Decided to give improvement in all 5 subjects in 2025 Give jee mains jan _ 67 % ile My cbse boards are not going well I think I need to give improvement next year (2026) I know that I can give jee adv 2025 But can I give jee advanced 2026 if I stayed in cbse or should I change board to nios to give jee advanced 2026 It would be very ^100 helpful if you share your Wisdom .

Ans: Given your performance in board exams, particularly in Mathematics, I strongly recommend having a Plan B and Plan C instead of solely focusing on JEE, considering various factors. However, to address your query, here’s a brief clarification:

Your eligibility for JEE Advanced is primarily determined by the year of your first Class XII attempt. Since you first appeared for the exam in 2024, you are eligible to take JEE Advanced in 2025, but not in 2026. Changing your board to NIOS or any other alternative will not reset your eligibility, as the first attempt year remains unchanged. All the best for your admissions!

Sir in 2025 I gave my 12 board exam but I got 72 percent so can I can change board to nios and give my exam in 2026 my question that will I be eligible for josnaa counselling

Ans: Yes. You can appear for the NIOS board 2026 exam and still qualify for JEE and JoSAA, as long as you:
(1) Pass in 2026 (2) Have PCM subjects (3) Secure 75% aggregate (or top-20 percentile).
Yet, it is highly recommended to refer to the latest updates related to admission and examination eligibility released by NTA on the JEE website from time to time.

Good luck.

Career

I got 148 marks in met phase 1 2026, what branch can i get at main campus. Can i get maths and computing or ece vlsi, and are these branches worth it?

Ans: HI LAKSHYA,
GREETINGS FROM REDIFFGURUS!

Based on your rank, you have a strong chance of getting into the ECE (VLSI) program at the main Manipal campus (MIT Manipal) and a moderate-to-high chance for the Maths and Computing program. It is likely that you will secure a spot in these programs during the later counseling rounds, specifically the 2nd or 3rd rounds. A score of 150 or higher is generally considered very safe, while a score of 148 is close enough to position you well for top-tier circuit branches.

BEST WISHES.

Got 51000 in VITEE. Can I get any banch in category 2 in main campus Vellore or should I wait for Delhi JAC counseling as I got 170867 rank in Delhi general female quota

Ans: At VITEEE 51,000, VIT Vellore Category 2 is highly unlikely for B.Tech; even lower-demand Vellore branches usually move to higher categories. Do not skip JAC Delhi. With JEE Main CRL 170,867, Delhi region, female, she has a realistic chance in IGDTUW lower/possibly tech branches in later rounds and may get DTU/NSUT lower branches only if cutoffs stretch. JAC publishes official round-wise OR-CR PDFs. Recommendation: Prefer JAC Delhi/IGDTUW over costly VIT high-category. Backup: VIT-AP/Bhopal, MAIT/MSIT/BVCOE through IPU. Recommendation: Prefer JAC Delhi/IGDTUW over costly VIT high-category. Backup: VIT-AP/Bhopal, MAIT/MSIT/BVCOE through IPU. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!

My son got 23508 rank in VITEE, can he got CSE with AI in VIT Vellore. Request answer please Regards

Ans: Rajesh Sir, At VITEEE rank 23,508, CSE with AI/AI-ML at VIT Vellore is very difficult, even in higher fee categories, because Vellore CSE/AI is among the most demanded branches. Realistic options are VIT Chennai CSE-specialisation may be borderline/high category, while VIT-AP or VIT Bhopal CSE/AI is much more realistic. All the Best for Your Son's rosperous Future!

In VITEE 2026, my son got the rank of 35500. Whether he can get CSE or CSE specialization in Vellore or Chennai campus with higher fee category

Ans: At AEEE rank ~19,000, Mechanical at Amrita Coimbatore is likely, even if not in the best scholarship slab. EEE at Coimbatore is possible but borderline, especially for the other-state quota; a home-state advantage may improve chances. Trend data shows Coimbatore EEE around 6000–22000 for home-state and 4000–16000 for other-state, while Mechanical is around 7000–32000 home-state and 5000–22000 other-state.

Sir,my son got 1836 rank in aeee and interested in ece.he secured good marks in keam 26 and have a chance of getting ece in model engeneering college thrikkakkara.In Coimbatore amrita also he is likely to get ece with scholarship 1 Which is better?

Ans: Prefer Amrita Coimbatore ECE if he is getting Scholarship Slab 1. At AEEE rank 1836, Coimbatore ECE is a strong option; Amrita’s 2026 official fee PDF shows Coimbatore ECE Scholarship Fee 1: ?1.5 lakh/year. It offers stronger national brand value, a wider peer group, a research ecosystem and better mobility outside Kerala.

MEC Thrikkakara ECE is excellent for ROI: official 2025 data shows 73/135 ECE students were placed, a 54% placement rate, and tuition is much lower. All the Best for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

My Daughter has scored 96.34 percentile in JEE Mains,she will be appearing for JEE advanced,she is more comfortable with Physics,and not keen to pursue computer science,can you suggest which branch of engineering can develop her interest towards physics

Ans: For a physics-oriented student not keen on CSE, the best branches are: Engineering Physics, Electrical/Electronics, Mechanical, Aerospace, Materials/Metallurgical, Energy Engineering, and Instrumentation. JoSAA’s official seat matrix includes Engineering Physics, Physics-integrated courses, Materials, VLSI, Mechanical and related programmes across IIT/NIT/GFTI options. In IITs, target Engineering Physics only if JEE Advanced rank is strong; otherwise, consider Mechanical/Materials/Electrical in newer IITs. In NITs, at around the 96.34 percentile, top NIT Physics-related branches may be tough, but Mechanical, Electrical, ECE, Metallurgy, Production, and instrumentation in mid/lower NITs or GFTIs may be realistic through JoSAA/CSAB. If possible, it is advisable to have the following backups: IISER BS-MS, B.Sc. Physics at DU/HCU/BHU, or private options like Shiv Nadar/Ashoka for physics. All the Best for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!

Career

I have got 26k rank in jee mains. In which nit decent branch can i get andwi also got 2953,rank in vit but not interested in joining vit,I got 217 in bitsat 1st attempt and. I will.also be giving second attempt and now I will be giving jee advanced in which I am getting marks of range 120-150 in mock test, please guide me through which option i should go ahead

Ans: Chances are, you will get ECE/EE/Mechanical/Chemical in mid-tier NITs, and possibly CSE in newer NITs. Your best strategy is to focus fully on JEE Advanced and the second attempt at BITSAT, because IITs or BITS Pilani/Goa/Hyderabad (especially Circuital branches) would be significantly better long-term options than joining VIT or settling early for lower NIT branches.

Good luck.
