Seeking advice for my son's college choice after JEE Mains 2024 with CSE preference

Ans: Hello Sir,
at this rank in CSAB, these branches won't be available. You can go with Manipal, as it is one of the premier institutes of the country. You will have an advantage there over these universities.

Ans: Hi Shree. Where do you live is not mentioned in your question. As you are girl, choose NIT nearest to your home town. Preferable to choose Electronics Instru. If you are inclined towards CSE, then go for IIIT.

If you found this suggestion helpful, please consider following me.

Ans: With a JEE Main percentile of 93.7 (CRL ~94,500), securing CSE in NITs/IIITs via JoSAA/CSAB is unlikely, as top institutions like NIT Trichy (CSE cutoff: ~4,661–9,271) and IIIT Hyderabad (CSE cutoff: ~1,500–6,000) require ranks below 20,000. However, non-CSE branches like Mechanical/Civil Engineering at NIT Agartala (cutoff: ~180,051) or ECE at IIITDM Jabalpur (cutoff: ~17,195) may be feasible in later CSAB rounds, though prioritizing these risks losing existing offers. Among current options, VIT Vellore CSE (93% placement rate, 867+ recruiters like Microsoft/Amazon) offers the strongest academic rigor and industry network, followed by NMIMS Mumbai CSE (prime location, ~90% placements in tech roles). UPES Dehradun (96% placements) and SRM Main Campus (~85% placements) lag in institutional reputation. Recommend prioritizing VIT Vellore CSE for optimal career prospects, while monitoring CSAB for niche NIT/IIIT branches as backups. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
