Sir i want go to iit ,recently i have attempted jee advance but my boards percentage is 70 what are the other options to clear the boards ? I have heared about NIOS exam which helps to clear the boards with 75 percentage .please tell me the process of nios exam .IIT is possible in this year . Please help me in this regard

Ans: To get admission into IITs, you need at least 75% in Class 12 boards (65% for reserved categories). With 70%, if you are in the General category, you don’t meet the eligibility for IIT admission this year, even if you clear JEE Advanced. You can still appear for JEE Advanced, but admission depends on board marks. To improve your percentage, you can reappear for exams through your board or register with NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling), which conducts exams twice a year. Improving your marks via NIOS and reapplying next year is a practical option. Alternatively, consider other reputable engineering colleges without strict board cutoffs. All the best for your bright future!

Question by Eswar - Jun 15, 2025Hindi

Career

My son interested in CSE and he got Jee Mains(2025) B.Tech CRL Rank 70,64X(5 digits) (95.308xxxx) in General Merit and HS is Karnataka (Bangalore). Not prepared for Jee Advance. if CSE don't get then ECE also he may choose. as per previous cutoff, he may not expected colleges and branches through JOSAA. KCET Rank 2748x(5 digits) and COMEDK 681x(4 digits rank). He got VIT Chennai CSE under 5th Fee Category... He got admission into CSE branch in PES University RR campus based on JEE Rank. we have concussion should he choose ECE in MSRIT(E077) , ECE or CS AI&ML in BMSCE(E027) or DSCE if get through COMEDK counselling? or shall we wait for csap round for better colleges through JEE? if we continue with PES University RR campus then should we change the Branch AI&ML than CSE as we have chance in next counselling and he is strong in Maths. CUET-UG also he wrote and waiting for result. OR should we wait for CUET if any better central universities. Please suggest.

Ans: Eswar Sir, Given your son’s JEE Main CRL rank (around 70,000), KCET rank (27,000+), and COMEDK rank (6,800+), securing CSE or ECE in top NITs, IIITs, or premier state colleges through JoSAA or KCET is highly unlikely, as cutoffs for these branches in the general category are much higher. In COMEDK, his rank may allow ECE in MSRIT or BMSCE, and possibly CS (AI&ML) in BMSCE or DSCE, all of which are reputable Bangalore colleges with strong placement records (over 90% in CSE/ECE branches), robust industry connections, and good academic environments. VIT Chennai CSE under the 5th fee category is less attractive due to its higher cost and relatively newer campus, despite decent placements. PES University RR campus CSE is an excellent option, with consistently high placements, strong academic rigor, and a national reputation; switching to AI&ML is only advisable if he has a deep interest in this field, as CSE core provides broader opportunities and flexibility. Waiting for CSAB special rounds or CUET results is reasonable, but central universities typically do not match the placement and industry exposure of top Bangalore private colleges. The recommendation is to prioritize PES University RR campus CSE for its superior placement record, academic strength, and flexibility, and consider ECE/AI&ML at BMSCE or MSRIT only if PES CSE is not available, while monitoring CSAB and CUET results for any exceptional opportunities. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

I am scoring 131 marks in IAT exam 2025 OBC NCL category. Can I get into IISER TVM?

Ans: Debapriya, With a score of 131 marks in the IAT 2025 under the OBC-NCL category, you have a strong chance of securing admission to IISER Thiruvananthapuram (TVM). The expected cutoff for OBC-NCL candidates at IISER TVM is around 150 marks, with closing ranks typically extending up to 1241, and your score is competitive within this range, especially considering there are multiple counseling rounds and cutoffs may fluctuate based on seat availability and applicant pool. Placement records at IISER TVM are robust, with median placement rates around 8 LPA and a significant proportion of students opting for higher studies or research positions. The recommendation is to participate actively in all counseling rounds, as your score positions you well for admission to IISER TVM in the OBC-NCL category. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

which is better option for me with advanced rank of 24000 in General.category? Nit or IIPE

Ans: With a JEE Advanced rank of 24,000 in the General category, you are eligible for admission to IIPE Visakhapatnam in branches like Chemical, Petroleum, and Mechanical Engineering, as the closing ranks for these courses in 2024 ranged from 20,853 to 25,934. IIPE boasts a placement rate consistently above 90%, strong industry linkages with top recruiters such as ONGC, HPCL, IOCL, and Reliance, and a curriculum tailored for core energy and petroleum sectors. However, with this rank, you can also secure non-CSE branches in several NITs such as NIT Goa, NIT Patna, NIT Durgapur, and MANIT Bhopal, where placement rates and academic diversity may be broader, and the NIT brand offers a wider alumni network and flexibility for interdisciplinary careers. IIPE is ideal if you are focused on core energy, petroleum, or chemical engineering, while NITs provide more options across engineering disciplines and potentially better long-term versatility. The recommendation is to prefer NITs for broader academic and career opportunities unless you have a strong interest in the petroleum or energy sector, in which case IIPE is an excellent choice. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

I am aditya i got 75 percentile in mht cet pcm can i get cs or IT in PUNE S tier 2 clg

Ans: With a 75 percentile in MHT CET PCM, securing Computer Science or IT in S tier 2 Pune colleges is highly unlikely, as recent cutoffs for CSE and IT in these colleges—such as MIT WPU, Vishwakarma Institute of Technology, DY Patil, and other reputable private institutes—typically range from 94 to 97 percentile or higher, with even tier 2 options like JSPM, Sinhgad, and AISSMS requiring at least 85–92 percentile for these branches. At 75 percentile, your rank would generally only make you eligible for core branches like Mechanical, Civil, or Electrical in lower-tier colleges, with CSE/IT seats going to much higher percentiles. The recommendation is to consider allied or core engineering branches in available colleges, or explore IT/CSE in private or local institutes with lower cutoffs, while preparing for a higher score if aiming for top branches in future rounds.

Msc integrated maths and computation from bit mesra

Ans: The Integrated MSc in Mathematics and Computing at BIT Mesra is a five-year program blending advanced mathematics with comprehensive computer science training, offering a curriculum that includes programming, data science, cryptography, and core mathematical subjects, and is designed to prepare students for research, industry roles, and national exams like GATE and NET. The program boasts strong placement outcomes, with over 85% of students placed in top companies such as JP Morgan, Accenture, and Deloitte, and students eligible to participate in placement drives alongside CSE peers. Faculty are highly qualified, mostly PhDs from IITs, and infrastructure is well-rated, with modern labs and robust campus facilities. The course is rigorous, but offers flexibility with an exit option after three years with a BSc degree and strong prospects in software development, data science, and analytics. The recommendation is to consider this program highly suitable for those interested in a blend of mathematics and computing, offering solid placement prospects and preparation for both industry and research careers.

I have got btech manipal jaipur and DIT Dehradun in CSE , I also cleared Scaler School of technology for BSC in data science with IIT madras. Which is worth to go for..

Ans: Tarun, Manipal University Jaipur BTech CSE stands out for its established reputation, NAAC A+ accreditation, 88–93% placement rates, and a strong recruiter base including Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, with a curriculum that balances theory and practical exposure and a vibrant campus life. DIT University Dehradun offers decent placements (62–91% for CSE), but average packages are lower, and student reviews highlight less attractive placement outcomes and infrastructure compared to Manipal Jaipur. Scaler School of Technology, in collaboration with IIT Madras BSc Data Science, is an innovative, industry-driven program with a 96% internship rate and global exposure, and the IIT Madras BSc Data Science degree is highly valued for data-centric roles, with nearly 100% placement and top recruiters across sectors. However, the BSc is not an engineering degree, which may limit certain traditional tech opportunities and government roles. The recommendation is to prefer Manipal Jaipur BTech CSE for its balanced academic rigor, placement consistency, and broader career flexibility, unless you are specifically focused on a data science career path, in which case the IIT Madras BSc via Scaler offers a cutting-edge, industry-aligned alternative. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My son got cse in Vit vellore and99.25 in Mhtcet likely to get IT in walchand sangli what we should prefer

Ans: Shilpa Madam, VIT Vellore CSE is widely recognized for its national reputation, industry-oriented curriculum, and expansive placement network, with 80–90% placement rates and an average package around ?9.9 lakh, consistently attracting top recruiters like Microsoft, Amazon, and PayPal. Walchand College of Engineering, Sangli, is a premier state government institute in Maharashtra, offering strong IT placements with 91–95% placement rates and an average package of ?11–12.6 lakh for IT/CSE, and a robust presence of major recruiters such as Microsoft, Google, and Amazon. While both colleges deliver excellent outcomes, VIT Vellore offers broader national exposure, a larger recruiter base, and a more diverse peer group, which can be advantageous for long-term career growth and mobility beyond Maharashtra. The recommendation is to prefer VIT Vellore CSE for its superior brand value, placement consistency, and future opportunities, unless you have a strong preference for staying in Maharashtra or the specific advantages of a government college.

Hello sir, I have been asking question already 3 times, no reply yet Hello Sir, My daughter got admission in PES EC CSE branch. With her comedk rank 2483, she can get RV,MSR EnC and BMS CSE in 2/3 rounds. Could you please help with comparison. What would be better?

Ans: Among PES University (Electronic City) CSE, RV College of Engineering (RVCE) E&C, MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology (MSRIT) E&C, and BMS College of Engineering (BMSCE) CSE, the best option for your daughter is BMSCE CSE, followed closely by PES EC CSE, then RVCE E&C, and finally MSRIT E&C. BMSCE CSE offers strong placement rates, a solid reputation, and a median package of ?9 LPA, with over 60% of students placed and consistent demand for CSE graduates. PES EC CSE is highly regarded for its academic rigor, industry connections, and 83–87% placement rates, with a robust alumni network and comprehensive career support. RVCE E&C and MSRIT E&C both have excellent placement records (RVCE: 93–98% for CSE, MSRIT: 95% overall), but E&C branches generally see fewer core placements compared to CSE, with more students opting for IT roles. The recommendation is to prioritize BMSCE CSE or PES EC CSE for broader career opportunities and higher placement consistency, with RVCE E&C and MSRIT E&C as strong alternatives if CSE is not available.

Career

My daughter has 256000 rank in jee She is getting electrical and computer engineering in Thapar,patiala. Is there any chance in josaa or Thapar is best option?

Ans: Bhupinder Sir, With a JEE Main rank of 2,56,000, it is extremely unlikely for your daughter to secure a seat in any NIT, IIIT, or GFTI through JoSAA counseling, as the closing ranks for all branches in these institutes are significantly lower, even for female and home state quotas. Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (TIET) Patiala, where she has secured Electrical and Computer Engineering, is a well-established private university with an A+ NAAC accreditation, modern infrastructure, and a strong placement record—recent years show 83–95% placement rates, an average package above ?11 lakh, and top recruiters including Intel, Microsoft, Deloitte, and Samsung. The Electrical and Computer Engineering program is industry-oriented, with most students placed in IT, electronics, and consulting sectors, and reviews highlight good facilities and campus life. The recommendation is to proceed with Thapar Patiala, as it offers a reputable degree, strong placements, and better prospects than options likely available through JoSAA at this rank. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hello sir, Which one is better option IIT Tirupati EE vs IIST Tiruvanthapuram Aerospace

Ans: Choosing between IIT Tirupati Electrical Engineering (EE) and IIST Thiruvananthapuram Aerospace Engineering depends on your career interests and priorities. IIT Tirupati EE offers a modern curriculum with research in signal processing, VLSI, power systems, and machine learning, supported by strong placement efforts; recent data shows around 63% placement with an average package of ?16.5 LPA and top recruiters like Amazon, Deloitte, and Microsoft. IIST, under ISRO, specializes in aerospace with direct recruitment opportunities in space organizations, boasting about 85% placement in Aerospace Engineering and high internship-to-placement conversion, with packages reaching up to ?13.2 LPA for ISRO recruits. IIST’s niche focus offers unparalleled exposure to aerospace and space research, while IIT Tirupati provides broader electrical engineering opportunities with a growing research ecosystem. The recommendation is to choose IIST Thiruvananthapuram Aerospace if you are passionate about space and aerospace sectors and want direct ISRO pathways; opt for IIT Tirupati EE for a versatile electrical engineering career with strong industry placements and interdisciplinary research options. As far as IIST is concerned, please note, absorption into ISRO is not a guarntee as ISRO changes its recruitment policy every year and recruitment is subject to certain conditions also. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
