My son has got 93.88percentile in JEE mains 2026 with General rank 95539 and OBC NCL rank 31008 in tamilnadu . I request you to kindly guide me can he get admission in any nits iiits .

Ans: Based on your son's score, chances of admission to NIT Trichy CSE/ECE are extremely low, and even lower branches may be difficult due to the high cutoffs at NIT Trichy. Admission to IIITs for CSE/ECE through regular JoSAA rounds is also challenging, but it is advisable to try CSAB Special Round for newer IIITs and GFTIs. Consider options like IIIT Agartala, IIIT Manipur, IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Ranchi, Assam University, Gurukula Kangri, and BIT Mesra off-campuses, provided you and your son are mentally prepared for these campuses. Additionally, it is recommended to have 5–6 backup options in reputed private engineering colleges apart from participating in TNEA counselling, such as SSN, SNU, Sastra, Amrita, VIT, Sathyabhama, Saveetha and also some other reputed Private Engineering Colleges based on your/son's preferred locations within Tamil Nadu, instead of relying only on JoSAA. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Sir. My daughter 92.76 percentile in female OBC candidate. Nit Trichy home state. Any nit or iit in any branches are possible sir.

Ans: IIT is not possible unless she qualifies strongly in JEE Advanced, but she may have a chance at lower/core branches in some NITs and possibly newer/lower-demand branches, depending on her category rank and counselling trends. Chances with NIT-Trichy are very slim.

Good luck.

Career

Sir obc ncl rank 5983 state andhrapradesh....CRL...22K

Ans: Srilaxmi Madam, I have already partially answered your question, and now that you have provided your son's home state, here is the updated and refreshed response. With a CRL rank of 22,000, an OBC-NCL rank of 5,983, and Andhra Pradesh home state status, you have good chances of admission in NIT Andhra Pradesh, especially in ECE and EEE branches, while CSE remains borderline depending on the 2026 cutoff trends. Recent data shows that NIT Andhra Pradesh CSE closes around OBC-HS ranks of 5,100–5,500, making your rank slightly risky but still worth attempting; ECE looks more realistic. Admission to CSE/ECE in top NITs like Trichy, Warangal, and Surathkal through other-state quota may be difficult. Good options to fill include NIT Andhra Pradesh (CSE/ECE/EEE), IIIT Sri City, IIIT Kottayam, IIIT Nagpur, IIIT Una, IIIT Bhopal, IIIT Ranchi, and GFTIs. JoSAA confirms that OBC-NCL cutoffs are based on category rank, not CRL. It is recommended to prioritize choices as CSE → ECE → EEE → AI/DS/IT and keep CSAB Special Round as a strong backup. Additionally, reviewing JoSAA opening and closing ranks from the past 2–3 years will provide valuable insights for your son to confidently select and fill preferred choices. Also, keep Andhra Pradesh state counselling as a backup option. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Sir please clarify are iiit better then iit non core for cse?

Ans: For a student focused specifically on software/tech careers, the top IIITs can be better than lower-demand non-core branches at many IITs, but the premier IIT brand/network still outweighs most IIITs unless the IIT branch is a very poor fit for the student’s interests.

Good luck.

Hi, My son has secured a rank of 4320 (CRL) in JEE Mains 2026. Home State is not an option. Can you suggest Institute + Branch preferences that we should opt?

Ans: Try ECE at top NITs (Trichy/Warangal/Surathkal/Calicut/Rourkela) and IIIT Allahabad IT/ECE, IIIT Gwalior CSE/IT, MNNIT Allahabad ECE/EE, and MNIT Jaipur ECE/EE, followed by strong fallback options in ECE/EE/CSE at mid-tier NITs/IIITs. However, keep a close eye on the closing ranks of previous years for more accurate predictions, which will be useful when filling the preference order.

Good luck.

Thank you Sir. What about IIIT Hyderabad, IIIT Bangalore, and JAC Delhi colleges?

Ans: Very good options. In a hurry, I missed their themes. Really sorry.
Preference order: IIIT-H > IIIT-B>JAC

Asked on - Apr 25, 2026 | Answered on Apr 25, 2026

But these (IITH, IIITB, JAC) should come before or after NITs in the order of preference?

Ans: IIIT-H before NITs. i.e., IIIT-H, then NITs, and then the remaining IIITs. This is our suggestion. But you must decide your own preference order. Thanks

Respected Sir/Ma’am, My brother has secured 77 percentile in JEE Mains 2026 and is currently at a crossroads regarding his future. We would truly value your guidance on whether he should consider taking a drop year to improve his score or proceed with admission at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, Patiala. Additionally, if he opts for Thapar, we would be grateful if you could advise which branch he should choose, keeping in mind both his long-term career prospects and future growth opportunities. Your guidance would mean a lot to us in making an informed decision

Ans: Taking a drop does not guarantee success. If you can take the risk and have full confidence that he can crack the exam with the required percentile, then tell him to proceed with a drop.

At Thapar, consider CSE/COE > AI/ML/Data Science > ECE > Electrical > Mechanical/Civil, based on his genuine interest and aptitude.

Good luck.
