Good evening sir I have not attempted jee can I get admission in jamia hamdard on the basis of class 10 and 12 marks

Ans: Amar, At CRL 226,889, getting GFTI through regular JoSAA is difficult, but CSAB Special Round is worth trying, especially for Civil, Mechanical, Electrical or production-type branches in less-demanded GFTIs. Your best chance will be in CSAB, because it fills vacant NIT/IIIT/GFTI seats after JoSAA, and CSAB publishes separate special-round opening/closing ranks. Fill all GFTIs, lower branches, and newer institutes. Do not restrict it only to EE/Civil/Mechanical. Also keep backups through state counselling, government-aided colleges, and 4-5 reputed private colleges/universities instead of relying only on JoSAA/CSAB. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: Durga Dinesh, With CRL 86,989 and OBC-NCL rank around 27,000, IIIT Dharwad DSAI through CSAB 2026 is possible but not guaranteed. Your observation is correct: 2025 CSAB Special Round closing for DSAI OBC-NCL was around CRL 86,797, so you are only about 192 ranks away. Since cutoffs can shift by a few hundred or few thousand depending on vacancies, withdrawals, and choice filling, you should definitely participate in CSAB and keep DSAI above lower-preference branches. CSAB officially publishes special-round opening/closing ranks after JoSAA vacancy rounds. Between CSE and DSAI, choose CSE first if available, because it is broader and keeps options open in software, AI, data, cybersecurity, and higher studies. Choose DSAI next because IIIT Dharwad’s curriculum includes data science/AI-focused learning and the institute reports decent placement figures, though 2025 data is still ongoing.

So your choice order can be CSE > DSAI > ECE at IIIT Dharwad. Also fill IIIT Kottayam/Kurnool/Ranchi/Una/Nagpur lower branches as backups along with 4-5 reputed Private Engineering Colleges as backup options.

Please note, success in any career depends less on the degree itself and more on how you invest your time. Focus on honing technical, communication, presentation, and leadership skills. Build a strong professional profile through projects and internships, actively network with alumni and industry experts, and maintain visibility on platforms like LinkedIn. Additionally, developing emotional intelligence (EQ) is crucial to navigate your career path with confidence. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: Dear Mr.Manish

Please refer to NRF ranking of top engineering college.

https://www.nirfindia.org/Rankings/2025/EngineeringRanking.html

You may select any of the top private colleges such as Birla Institute, SRM, Vellore, Manipal, Kalinga, Amrita and others...

Hope this helps. All the best.

Best Regards

Ans: Try with DTU/NSUT lower-to-mid branches like Mechanical/Civil/Biotech/Environmental and possibly EE/EP in favorable rounds, plus DSEU/other Delhi govt institutes as safer options. Otherwise, try with private universities located in the nearby area of Delhi.

Good luck.

Ans: Try with UIET Kurukshetra (best shot for ECE/EE), DCRUST Murthal/GJU Hisar for EE or Chemical, and lower-demand branches in Chandigarh/Punjab state counselling if available.

Good luck.

Ans: Sachin Sir, At a CRL rank of 41,000, securing a seat in DA-IICT’s regular B.Tech programs is unlikely, as recent closing ranks for ICT, MnC, and VLSI are much higher. However, the institute’s newly launched 5-year BS–MS Dual Degree programs in IT and Data Science & AI offer a more realistic alternative. These programs admit students based on JEE Main Mathematics percentile or CUET scores, not overall CRL, and since 2026 is their first admission cycle, competition may be less intense.

This 5-year, 200-credit curriculum is ideal if your son is passionate about coding, AI, data science, cybersecurity, or research-oriented tech careers—provided the fee structure and longer commitment are manageable. It’s also wise to keep several reliable backup options rather than relying solely on DA-IICT.

Ultimately, success depends less on the degree and more on how your son invests his time: honing technical and communication skills, building a professional profile through projects/internships, networking with alumni and industry experts, maintaining visibility on platforms like LinkedIn, and developing emotional intelligence to confidently navigate his career path. All the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Ans: While the IIT Madras BS in Data Science is a government-recognized, UGC-entitled degree, it is highly recommended to pursue it alongside a regular, on-campus undergraduate degree. A traditional, physical campus experience provides essential components that an online program inherently lacks: professional networking, holistic skill development, and versatility. A core campus degree (like B.Tech, B.Sc., or B.Com) combined with the IITM BS provides a powerful "hybrid" profile, showcasing both disciplinary depth and specialized technical expertise. The IITM program is specifically designed for this flexibility. Many students leverage it as a "value-add" qualification, significantly enhancing their employability by stacking high-demand data science skills onto their primary foundational degree. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: Sriram Sir, you have not mentioned which Board (State/CBSE etc.) you are referring to? From which online platform did you come to know this? What your son has been doing since July 2024 till today? Please clarify these to answer precisely.
