I have given NATA scoring 129. Class 12 aggregatevis 61.4% and PCM makes 49.3%. Given JEE Main paper 2A also. Final rank yet to be declared. Session 1 percentile is 75. What are good B.Arch colleges that I can apply for. As per new eligibility criteria by COA, its PCM aggregate should be 45% if I am not wrong. Thanks

Ans: Hello dear.
It would be preferable to retain Robo + AI @ Jaypee. Compared to IGDTUW, Jaypee is more reputable and has a good job placement record. You have a chance to get CSE @ LPU. Either go with LPU or Jaypee. The final choice will be yours.
Best of luck to you.

Ans: With a JEE Main percentile of 49.8 (~CRL 800,000–900,000) and VITEEE rank of 87,000, admission to NITs or premier VIT campuses (Vellore/Chennai) is unattainable. However, Chandigarh University’s CSE/ECE remains a viable option, reporting 90%+ placement rates via 1,400+ recruiters like Amazon and Microsoft. For VIT Bhopal/AP, your VITEEE rank aligns with Mechanical Engineering (2024 cutoff: 86,000–91,000) or Civil Engineering (89,000), though placement rates for these branches are 50–60%. State-level colleges like G.L. Bajaj Greater Noida (cutoff: ~300,000 JEE Main rank) or Sharda University (direct admission via boards) offer ECE/IT with 70–80% placements.

Recommendation: Secure your seat at Chandigarh University for assured tech-sector exposure, and explore Mechanical/Civil at VIT Bhopal/AP during later counselling rounds. For backups, consider Amity University (Noida) or Lovely Professional University (direct admission via boards), which provide industry-aligned curricula despite moderate placement rates. If open to lateral entry, enroll in a diploma program and transition to B.Tech via LEET for cost-effective pathways. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Hello Adarsh,
Not possible for us to mention the list of colleges spread across the pan-India for the mentioned branch in the JOSAA and other counseling. You can search them in online mode. We can only predict whether you will get a seat or not. With the given percentile, chances are very slim for NITs and IIITs. Explore more options with private colleges.
Best of luck to you.

Ans: Hello dear.
Related to Amrita, not possible for us to predict about it. You may get it or you may not. But keep hopes alive for ECE @ Chennai.
Best of luck to you.

Ans: Hello dear.
Both Manipal and SRM are strong institutions. Choosing between them is quite a challenging task. Your son's preferred branch is not mentioned. I can only suggest choosing the one that is closer to your hometown.
Best of luck to you.

Ans: With a KCET rank of 14,046, admission to Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) at premier institutions like RVCE (2024 GM cutoff: 746) or BMSCE (1,850–1,950) is unattainable. However, MSRIT Bangalore (ECE cutoff: 7,000–15,500) may offer opportunities in later counselling rounds, given its 85–90% placement rate in embedded systems and IoT roles via partnerships with Qualcomm and Bosch. CMRIT Bangalore (expected ECE cutoff: 25,000–35,000) and RNSIT (ECE cutoff: 15,909–20,630) are feasible options, reporting 80–85% placement rates with recruiters like Infosys and Wipro. Reva University (expected ECE cutoff: 25,000–35,000) also provides assured admission, leveraging its NAAC A++ accreditation and industry-aligned labs in VLSI design. While PES University (ECE cutoff: 8,380–8,550) and Dayananda Sagar College (7,567–7,793) remain competitive, prioritize MSRIT during later rounds and secure CMRIT/RNSIT as backups. Explore EEE or Telecommunication Engineering at NIE Mysuru (cutoff: 9,000–12,000) or BMSIT (10,500–13,000) for broader admission prospects, ensuring alignment with Bangalore’s tech ecosystem. Recommendation: Target MSRIT ECE in extended counselling phases, followed by CMRIT/RNSIT, and consider interdisciplinary branches at mid-tier colleges to balance academic rigor and placement stability. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Hello dear
Both options are strong. Thapar is a little expensive than Jaipur. If you can afford it, prefer CSE @ Thapar.
