Ans: For IISER Pune/Mohali, aim safely for IAT AIR under 1,000–1,500 in general merit. Pune is usually more competitive than Mohali. For Kashmiri Migrants (KMs), the target can be much more relaxed, but seats are very limited, so do not depend only on the quota. In 2025 Round 1 trend data, KM closing ranks were around 6,037 for Pune, 10,106 for Mohali, and up to 25,127 for some IISER/program options.

Officially, IISER 2026 accepts KM candidates with valid documents/certificates as per brochure rules.

Practical targets are Pune/Mohali under a 6,000–10,000 rank and any other IISERs with less than a 20,000–25,000 rank. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: For CSE / AI-ML / IT, 91 percentile is a borderline-to-moderate chance; admission depends on applications, merit list, and seat availability. Third-party 2026 trend sources place the expected CSE/AI-ML cutoff around the 90–94 percentile, but SIT does not publish a complete official last-2-year closing-rank table. Apply to SIT Pune (all branches), plus MIT-WPU, Bharati Vidyapeeth Pune, DY Patil Pune and 2-3 other private colleges also as backups. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: Nagarjuna, with VITEEE rank 37,362, VIT Vellore CSE/ECE is difficult. VIT Chennai CSE Core is also doubtful, but CSE specialisations may be possible in Category 5, as past trend sources show Chennai CSE-specialisation going up to around 42,000, while Chennai CSE Core is around 34,000. VIT’s official site confirms the category-wise fee/counselling structure.

With AEEE rank 5,819 and Tamil Nadu as your home state, Amrita looks stronger. CSE/ECE chances are good at Amritapuri/Chennai/Amaravati, and ECE may be possible even at Coimbatore/Bengaluru, depending on slab/round. 2025 trends show ECE and CSE-specialisations extending further than core CSE on some campuses.

Best order: Amrita CSE/CSE-specialisation → Amrita ECE → VIT Chennai CSE-specialisation → VIT-AP/Bhopal CSE. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: At AEEE rank 11,534 and JEE Main 93 percentile, your son has reasonable chances for ECE at Amrita, especially at Amritapuri, Bengaluru, Chennai, Amaravati or newer campuses. For CSE Cybersecurity, chances are moderate to difficult at Coimbatore/Bengaluru but possible in Amritapuri/Chennai/Amaravati in higher fee slabs, depending on counselling round, quota, and seat availability. Amrita confirms that B.Tech admissions consider AEEE and JEE Main, and fee slabs 1–4 depend on exam performance. Suggested preference: CSE Cybersecurity Amritapuri/Chennai/Amaravati → ECE Bengaluru/Amritapuri/Coimbatore → CSE-related lower campuses → 2-3 backups of other private colleges. All the Best for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Ans: Rank can't be predicted accurately at this moment. For ECE, try DSCE, NIE Mysore, CMRIT, BIT Bangalore (borderline), and other mid-tier colleges in Bengaluru/Mysuru, mostly in later rounds. Keep a private college option via the management quota from a safe side point of view.

Good luck.

Ans: Vellore campus is not realistic; in Chennai, Mechanical, EEE, and EIE are possible in Category 2–3, while ECE is borderline and may need a higher category; VIT-AP/Bhopal offers the safest admission options.

Good luck.

Ans: OK. Best of luck

Ans: Subham, at VITEEE rank 35,398, VIT Vellore CSE Core is not possible, and CSE specialisations at Vellore are also very difficult, even in Category 4/5. For VIT Chennai, CSE Core is doubtful, because expected Category 5 closing is around 34,000–34,200, but CSE specialisations may be possible up to around 42,000 in the higher fee category, depending on seat movement and choice filling. The best choice order is Chennai CSE specialisations → Chennai IT/ECE → VIT-AP CSE/AI/DS → VIT Bhopal CSE/AI. Have 3-4 backup options of other private colleges. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: Santosh, at AEEE rank 65,457, getting CSE or CSE-AI at Amritapuri at around ?4 lakh/year is highly unlikely. Amrita confirms that B.Tech admission is through AEEE/JEE, with scholarship fee slabs 1–4 based on exam performance, and its 2026 fee PDF shows differential annual fees by branch/campus.

Based on available 2025 trend data, Amritapuri CSE/CSE-specialisation usually needs much better ranks, roughly within the lower thousands, not 65k. Backup options are to try Amrita mop-up only for lower-demand branches and keep VIT-AP/Bhopal, and other 4-5 backup options of private colleges as safer CSE/AI backups. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!
