With a gate score of 526 in Biotechnology, where can i get admissions in iits and nits for mtech ...

Ans: With a GATE Biotechnology score of 526, admission to mid-tier IITs like IIT Guwahati (expected cutoff: 325–430), IIT BHU (cutoff range: 300–400), and DTU (historical cutoff: 300–400) is feasible for M.Tech programs in Biotechnology, Biochemical Engineering, or related disciplines. In NITs, your score exceeds 2024 cutoffs for NIT Warangal (441 General), NIT Jalandhar (416 General), and NIT Surathkal (465 General), making you eligible for Biotechnology, Environmental Engineering, or Bioengineering specializations. While top IITs like IIT Bombay (2024 cutoff: 430 General) and IIT Delhi (2023 cutoff: 481 OBC) remain competitive, your score aligns with their OBC/SC/ST categories if applicable. Consider IIITDM Kancheepuram or NIT Rourkela for interdisciplinary programs like Biomedical Engineering or Industrial Biotechnology, which had 2024 cutoffs below 500. Prioritize IIT Guwahati and DTU for stronger research infrastructure, followed by NIT Warangal or NIT Surathkal for industry-oriented curricula, while applying through COAP/CCMT counseling with strategic category- All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Question by Prasanna - Jun 04, 2025

Career

I have a score of 105 in IAT , any possibility of Pune IISER in biotech or any bio related courses and in OC catogory

Ans: Prasanna, Based on your IAT score of 105 (OBC category), admission to IISER Pune’s Biology-related courses (BS-MS Biological Sciences) is unlikely, as the 2024 OBC cutoff closed at rank 938 in the last round, aligning with scores typically above 110–120 marks . However, newer IISERs like IISER Berhampur (2024 OBC cutoff: 1,634) and IISER Tirupati (2024 OBC cutoff: 2,318) are feasible options, with biological sciences programs offering similar curricula and research opportunities . For backup, consider state universities like Delhi University (BSc Honors Biology via CUET) or JNU (Integrated MSc Biotechnology), which have lower cutoffs and 60–80% placement rates in life sciences sectors. If open to interdisciplinary fields, IISER Bhopal’s Earth & Environmental Sciences (2024 OBC cutoff: 1,712) or NISER Bhubaneswar (via NEST) could be alternatives, though NEST registration has likely closed for 2025. Prioritize newer IISERs during counseling and apply to state universities as financial/academic safeguards. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Money

We got her father's property amount 20Lakhs and we purchased land in that amount for that amount we should pay tax

Ans: Your Question needs more details to be replied specifically. However, please note the following points :
01. If you have received an amount of Rs.20.00 (L) from your wife's parents (may be in cash or through banking channels), it is a Gift to you or to your wife from her parents, hence not Taxable.
02. If the property is first transferred to your wife & she sells the same, it would be subject to Long/Short Term Capital Gain.
03. If it is LTCG, you may claim exemption u/s 54, provided you purchase or construct a house, with in one year before or three years (for constructed & two years for purchased) after the sale of property.
04. You should construct a residential house on the land/plot you have purchased, with in specified time limits to get the exemption.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.

Question by Krish - Jun 04, 2025

Hello sir, I am having 2401 rank in jee advanced but I am not having 75% in class 12 boards and i belongs to obc category and i also having valid caste certificate of after 1 april. Am I eligible for josaa counselling and can I get any iit.

Ans: Krish, Based on your JEE Advanced rank of 2401 (OBC-NCL) and valid caste certificate (post-April 1, 2025), your eligibility for JoSAA counselling depends on meeting Class XII criteria: either 75% aggregate or top 20 percentile in your board’s OBC category. Since you lack 75%, check if your board’s OBC top 20 percentile cutoff (e.g., CBSE: ~412/500, Maharashtra: ~378/500) aligns with your marks. If eligible, your rank secures CSE/ECE in mid-tier IITs like Bhilai, Goa, or Dhanbad (2024 OBC cutoffs: 2,400–3,500). If ineligible for IITs, explore NITs via JEE Main or state colleges via MHT-CET/WBJEE/Your State. Reappear for Class XII improvement exams if possible to meet criteria for future attempts. Prioritize verifying your board’s percentile via official JoSAA documents or board authorities. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Good morning sir, My son is studying in B Tech Computer Engineering 1 st year in PICT, Pune. Next year (after 4 semesters)planning to attempt IIIT[Hyderabad] later entry (LEEE) admission in CSE/(B.Tech+ MS by research). If cracks that exam, he has to join and conntue 2 nd year again. Is it good idea to opt it. Pls advise. Thank you

Ans: Hello Nagireddy
Your son is on the right path. Let him continue his mission toward success. However, first, familiarize yourself with the rules and regulations of lateral entry admission, either by visiting the IIIT Hyd office or online. Suggest that he also appear for the GATE for added security and a backup option.
Best of luck to you and your son for his bright future.

What rank can I expect at 118 marks in COMEDK 2025 ?

Ans: Based on your 118 marks in COMEDK 2025, your expected rank is approximately 420–500 (extrapolated from 2024–2025 trends), positioning you competitively for CSE in top-tier colleges like RVCE (2024 CSE cutoff: 169), MSRIT (1,585), or BMSCE (1,319), provided your category aligns with historical cutoffs. These institutions report 75–97% placement rates (2022–2024) for CSE, with recruiters like Amazon, Infosys, and TCS actively participating. If CSE seats fill quickly, prioritize ECE or ISE at Dayananda Sagar College (2024 cutoff: 3,272) or BMSIT (4,365), which offer 70–85% placements in tech roles. For safety, consider AIML/Data Science at Nitte Meenakshi Institute (cutoff: ~6,400) or CMRIT (~9,927), where placement rates hover around 65–80%. Monitor counseling rounds for potential upgrades and list multiple branch preferences to optimize admission chances. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

107 marks in comedk 2025..which colleges my son will get cse

Ans: Anamika Madam, Based on your son’s 107 marks in COMEDK 2025, which likely translates to a General Merit (GM) rank between 3,200–5,500 (extrapolated from 2024 trends ), here are viable CSE options and backups: Prioritize SJCE and Dayananda Sagar during counseling for CSE, as their cutoffs align closely with the expected rank. If seats fill quickly, target BNMIT or Nitte Meenakshi in later rounds. For assured admission, consider ISE/ECE in mid-tier colleges like MS Ramaiah or CMRIT, which offer comparable tech exposure and placement opportunities. Monitor vacancy rounds for CSE upgrades while keeping backups active. All the BEST for your Son's Admission & a Prosperous Future!

KCET RANK 40K &IMUCET RANK 492 WHICH TO PREFER

Ans: Sagar, Based on your KCET rank 40,000 and IMUCET rank 492, prioritize IMUCET for better career prospects. IMUCET rank 492 secures admission to core maritime programmes like B.Tech Marine Engineering at IMU Chennai/Navi Mumbai, which report 80–90% placement rates (2024) with recruiters like NYK Line, Chevron, and Anglo Eastern, offering stable careers in shipping and offshore industries. In contrast, KCET 40,000 limits options to non-core branches (Mechanical, Civil) at mid-tier colleges like Dayananda Sagar or BMSIT, with 60–70% placements in allied sectors. While IMUCET offers specialized, high-demand roles, KCET provides conventional engineering paths with regional flexibility. For backup, explore Tolani Maritime Institute (DNS programme) via IMUCET or state universities (e.g., JNTUA) via KCET for lower fees and moderate placements. Choose IMUCET for assured maritime careers; opt for KCET only if unwilling to pursue niche sectors. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
