Hi sir my son in final sem in CSE core in VIT AP, what is the scope of jobs for him.

Ans: Changing from CBSE to a State Board for your 2026 re-examination will not affect your eligibility to sit for JEE Main: NTA accepts candidates who have passed Class 12 in 2024 or 2025 or who are appearing in 2026, regardless of the board. Your state code of eligibility for counselling remains tied to the board and institution where you originally passed Class 12, not where you reappear for improvement.

Because you will be reappearing in 2026, in the JEE Main application form you should select your Class 12 status as “appearing”. Even though you passed CBSE in 2025, your forthcoming board exam is in 2026, and only those still awaiting their final board results choose “appearing” in the form.

Your new board marks will count toward meeting the 75 percent (or top 20 percentile) requirement for admission, but they do not change your attempt count or JEE Main eligibility. All the BEST!

Ans: The provisional-cum-migration certificate and the leaving-cum-character certificate issued by the Bihar Board on a single sheet remain legally valid even when printed together, so you need not physically separate them before submission. Most colleges simply verify the relevant section (migration or character) and return the rest of the If your new institution requires only the migration and character portions, you may provide clear, self-attested photocopies of just those pages or highlight the relevant fields on the original. In cases where the outline or perforation impedes scanning or verification, you can request the issuing authority for duplicate certificates printed individually.

Recommendation: Submit the combined originals as received, along with self-attested photocopies of the migration and character portions for smooth processing. Only seek separately printed certificates if your college’s admission office explicitly demands distinct sheets. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Ram Sir, What is your daughter's Score in MHT-CET?

Ans: Manish Sir, With an all-India JEE Main rank of 27,500 under the General category, chances of securing a CSE seat at premier NITs via CSAB Special Rounds are minimal, as top NITs close CSE around 2,800–5,300 AIR. However, mid/lower-tier NITs such as NIT Agartala often see CSE closing ranks near 25,000–28,000 in gender-neutral open quota, while NIT Goa’s CSE cutoffs can extend beyond 30,000. More accessible options include ECE at several NITs—where closing ranks range broadly from 9,000 to 25,000—such as Calicut, Durgapur and Uttarakhand, which consistently report 75–85% placement rates in ECE over the past three years. All institutions maintain NAAC/NBA accreditations, experienced faculty, modern labs, active industry MoUs and robust placement cells.

Recommendation: Participate actively in CSAB Special counseling, prioritizing CSE at NIT Agartala and NIT Goa under open quota, supplemented by ECE choices at NIT Calicut and NIT Uttarakhand to maximize admission probability and ensure solid placement support. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Kuruva, To check your IISER Aptitude Test (IAT) scorecard (marks), log in at the official portal (iiseradmission-dot-in) with your application number and password, then download the PDF “IAT 2025 Result/Scorecard” link. The scorecard displays your subject-wise marks, total marks out of 240 and your all-India and category rank. If you only see rank, click “Download Scorecard” under the Result section to view marks.

With an OBC rank of 49 080, admission to any IISER through IAT is not feasible. OBC closing ranks in past years ranged between approximately 200–2 500 across IISER campuses (for instance, IISER Behrampur: 1 100–2 500; Pune: 200–900; Kolkata: 500–1 400) and even newer campuses did not exceed ~2 500 for OBC. You will not qualify for seat allotment in any IISER under the OBC category at this rank. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
