My son got 22000 rank in iiser ,is it possible to get admission in IISER

Ans: Kalpana Madam, With a rank of 22,000 in the IISER IAT 2025, admission to any IISER is not possible, regardless of category. The closing ranks for general category candidates at even the least competitive IISERs, such as Berhampur or Tirupati, have consistently remained below 4,500 in recent years, and for 2025, the expected cutoffs for all categories are much lower than your son’s rank. For general category, the cutoff typically falls within 120–130 marks (well within the top 2,500 ranks), and even for reserved categories, closing ranks rarely exceed 4,500. The total seat intake across all IISERs is approximately 2,363, making competition extremely high and pushing cutoff ranks much lower than 22,000. The marks vs. rank analysis and available seat matrix confirm that a rank of 22,000 is far outside the range for any seat allocation in BS-MS, BS, or BTech programs at any IISER campus. The recommendation is to explore alternative science or engineering programs at other national or state-level institutes, as IISER admission is not feasible at this rank. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hello Sir My son is confused between three option First is MSRIT mechanical engineering second Dayanand sagar college of engineering Electronic engineering and lastly BIT mesra civil engineering. He is passionate about civil engineering but also not fully convinced due to bad placement of the particular branch. Please guide us sir
Ans: MSRIT’s Mechanical Engineering department is renowned for its robust curriculum, 90–95% placement consistency, and a faculty with extensive research credentials and over 40% holding doctorates. The institute offers modern labs, strong industry collaborations, and a vibrant alumni network, ensuring well-rounded technical and professional growth for students. Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering’s Electronics Engineering program is NBA-accredited, with modern infrastructure, research-oriented faculty, and a placement rate of about 70–75% for electronics-related branches; the college’s electronics graduates benefit from Bangalore’s tech ecosystem and active industry tie-ups. BIT Mesra’s Civil Engineering programme is NAAC-accredited with state-of-the-art labs, comprehensive exposure to modern tools, and a placement rate of 60–65% over the past three years, with many students opting for higher studies or government roles. While civil engineering placements are comparatively lower, the branch offers strong research orientation and prepares graduates for diverse opportunities in infrastructure and public sector domains.

Recommendation: If passion for civil engineering is paramount, BIT Mesra offers a solid academic foundation and research focus, but placement rates are modest. For a blend of strong placements and technical exposure, MSRIT Mechanical is the preferred choice; Dayananda Sagar Electronics is suitable for those seeking industry-driven roles in Bangalore’s technology sector. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
