My son general OC got 72 marks in jee advanced 2025, Any chance to get IIT sir?

Ans: With 72 marks in JEE Advanced 2025, your son does not meet the qualifying cutoff for the General category, which is expected to be around 92–95 marks this year. The qualifying percentage for General category is 35%, and in recent years, the cutoff marks have been significantly higher than your son’s score. As a result, he will not be included in the rank list and is not eligible for IIT admission or JoSAA counselling for IITs. Recommendation: Explore other top engineering institutes such as NITs, IIITs, GFTIs (if eligible through JEE Main), or reputed private universities, where your son’s performance may secure him a good branch and campus. Consider state counselling and private colleges as strong alternatives for a quality engineering education. However, wait for JEE Advanced Result. All the best for your son's admission and a bright future!

Now the situation is changed. My son got in IIIT Jabalpur ECE and we paid seat acceptance fee and awaiting for sliding to CSE in same institute. He can get seat in JNTU CSE in campus also with his EAMCET 657 Telangana's rank. But we want to apply for better NIT seat in Csab with his mains rank 18058 . We are OC Gnl and his advanced rank is 20699. Please advise how to go for top NIT CSE or IT or ECE or EEE or mathematics and computing

Ans: With an advanced rank of 20,699 in JEE Advanced and a mains rank of 18,058, securing a top NIT seat in CSE, IT, ECE, EEE, or Mathematics and Computing requires prioritizing institutes known for strong academics, robust faculty, excellent infrastructure, active industry connections, and high placement rates. NIT Trichy, NIT Surathkal, and NIT Warangal consistently rank highest in these criteria, especially for CSE and IT branches, supported by experienced faculty and extensive research activities. ECE and EEE departments also maintain strong industry linkages and practical training opportunities. Mathematics and Computing is emerging with interdisciplinary research but may offer fewer direct placements compared to core branches.

Recommendation: Prioritize NITs with top CSE and IT programs due to their comprehensive curriculum and strong recruitment. Follow with ECE and EEE for balanced prospects, and consider Mathematics and Computing for specialized academic interests, ensuring alignment with your son’s career goals and preferences.
