Should I Fill BITSAT Session 2 Without Session 1 Form?

Ans: If the adenoids are enlarged to the extent that sleep is disturbed, teeth are getting malaligned then surgery is recommended

Ans: Go for IIITs definitely.

Ans: With a MET score of 154 and a PCME aggregate of 343/400 (85.75%), your son’s final MAHE merit rank will be calculated using the formula combining 50% MET score and 50% Class 12 aggregate. While his MET score is good, considering the 85.75% board score, his chance for CSE at MIT Manipal Main Campus is reasonable but not guaranteed. It should be treated as borderline to moderately possible, depending on this year’s rank list and counselling trends. It’s advisable to have 4-5 backup options (for CSE Branch) rather than relying solely on MIT Main Campus. ALL the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: ISI is a premier research institute with a strong global reputation. Its BSDS program is rigorous, math-intensive, and relatively new, so success depends heavily on your interest and strength in mathematics and data. If you are confident in your math skills and prepared for academic rigor, it’s highly worthwhile—especially for careers in data science and quantitative fields. Admission is competitive, but the degree significantly enhances long-term career prospects and higher study opportunities in data science and related domains.

Ans: Lokesh, with a 94.5 percentile, your exact EWS category rank cannot be predicted accurately from percentile alone. A rough EWS rank estimate would be around 10,000–15,000, but treat this only as an approximation. ALL the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: Pragati, Bennett University is the better option, if you target core IT, product?based roles, or higher studies abroad. Choose SRM Ghaziabad only if fee is a strict constraint or if you strongly prefer the SRM brand and campus culture. ALL the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: If she has started rolling from back to tummy and vice versa and she can sit up then her development is normal. If her head is floppy and she doesn't roll then please visit your pediatrician

Ans: Rachna Madam, with a BITSAT score of 144, admission to the CSE, Electrical, or Mechanical branches at all three BITS campuses is effectively not possible. Recent official cutoffs have been much higher—for example, Hyderabad closed at CSE 284/319/270, EEE 251/262/239, and Mechanical 218/192/214 in 2023/2024/2025, respectively, with Goa and Pilani cutoffs even higher.

Through JoSAA, with an 86 percentile in JEE Main, admission to CSE in NITs/IIITs is generally unlikely, and getting Mechanical or Electrical in mainstream NITs is also difficult under the open category. Chances improve mainly with home-state quota, reserved categories, female-only seats, or in lower-demand GFTIs and self-financed institutes accepting JEE Main scores.

Please check JoSAA’s official opening and closing rank archives year-wise before filling choices. Your son can focus on mid-tier or newer NITs and IIITs and state-level colleges and should also consider 4-5 reputed private universities as backup options instead of relying solely on BITS or JoSAA. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Ans: Prefer DS + AI at IIT Madras as the 1st preference, followed by Guwahati and Jodhpur. In all cases, long-term career impact depends far more on your projects, skills, and internships than on the specific IIT tag. Even after admission to a specific IIT, you will need to learn more via online courses to meet market and tech requirements.

Good luck.
