Good evening sir. Sir, my son has secured 98.363848 in JEE mains and appeared JEE advanced also. His CRL is 26253 and category ( OBC NCL) rank is 6625. If he got CSE in NIT Silchar (home quota) and CSE or mathematics and computing branch in tier 2 IIT, which will be the best?

Ans: Sireesha Madam, Your son should prioritize counselling for Tier-2 IITs (like IIT Guwahati, IIT Hyderabad, IIT BHU, IIT Indore) as there is a chance of admission in CSE depending on seat availability and category.

NITK CSE is a very good and safe option with excellent academics and placements; he should consider it seriously.

Participate actively in JoSAA counselling rounds, fill choices broadly, and keep backup options ready. All the best for your son's admissions and a bright future!

Ans: Hello dear.
Congratulations to you and your family on significant achievement. If feasible, consider CSE at Thapar or at Manipal. It is advisable to choose any lower-ranked NITs in relation to IIITs. NIT holds a stronger brand reputation compared to IIIT.
Best of luck to your son.
Follow me if you like the reply. Thanks

Ans: With a 98 percentile in JEE Mains, your son’s admission offers from Manipal, VIT Vellore, Thapar, NITs, and IIITs present strong options. Manipal, VIT, and Thapar provide excellent placements, infrastructure, and industry connections, suitable for immediate career growth. NITs and IIITs like Surat and Kota offer government-backed quality education with competitive placements and strong academic environments, ideal for research and higher studies. For best balance, consider NITs/IIITs for academics and brand, and private universities for campus experience and placements. The final choice should align with his career goals and preferences. All the best for your son's admission and a bright future!
