My son has got 34.4K rank at SRMJEEE can he get ECE at KTR campus or ME at KTR campus

Ans: Sandeep Sir, With a WBJEE score of 79.75, your daughter’s expected rank is around 15,750–16,250. This rank may not be sufficient for Computer Science or Electronics in top government colleges like Jadavpur University or IIEST Shibpur, where cutoffs are much lower. However, she stands a good chance of securing branches like Electrical, Civil, or Chemical Engineering in several government engineering colleges across West Bengal. For CSE or ECE, she should explore newer government colleges or reputable private institutions, where cutoffs are more relaxed. It is advisable to use official WBJEE rank and college predictor tools for more precise guidance once the results are declared. Recommendation: Participate actively in counseling, keep options open for various branches, and consider both government and private colleges to maximize her chances of getting a good engineering seat. All the best for your daughter's admission and a bright future!

Ans: For ECE, MIT Manipal is the superior choice over MIT Bangalore due to its established reputation, stronger alumni network, and consistently high placement rates—77% overall and 80–90% for ECE, with top recruiters like Amazon, Microsoft, and Bosch. The main campus offers broader industry exposure and better long-term prospects. Choosing ECE over CS/Allied is not a mistake; ECE is a flexible and respected branch, allowing careers in electronics, communications, and IT/software, especially if your daughter develops relevant programming and technical skills. Many ECE students secure high-paying software roles, and the branch’s analytical foundation is valued in the tech industry. Ultimately, success in placements and career growth depends on personal initiative, internships, and skill development, not just branch selection. Recommendation: Opt for ECE at MIT Manipal, as it provides the best balance of academic environment, placement opportunities, and future flexibility, aligning well with your daughter’s interests. All the best for your daughter's admission and a bright future!

Ans: Debasmita, With a JEE Main percentile of 72 and BTech rank around 4,00,000, as well as B.Planning and B.Arch ranks above typical government college cutoffs, your chances for CSE/ECE or architecture/planning seats in top government colleges through national counseling are low. Your Assam CEE rank of 8,313 may allow you to secure a seat in lower-demand branches at mid-tier government engineering colleges in Assam, particularly if you belong to a reserved category, but CSE/ECE in top colleges is unlikely. For B.Planning or B.Arch, government seats are difficult at your current ranks, but private or state colleges with higher cutoffs may be possible. Remaining in BSc Physics (Hons) at Guwahati University is a good academic option if you are interested in science. Recommendation: If you are set on engineering or planning/architecture, consider private/state colleges; otherwise, continuing your BSc at Guwahati University is a strong academic path. All the best for your bright future!

Ans: Urvashi Madam, With 55 percentile in JEE Mains and 72% in boards (General category, Delhi), your niece is not eligible for B.Tech admission in IP University (GGSIPU), as the minimum cutoffs for even the least competitive branches are much higher—typically requiring at least 85–90 percentile for Delhi candidates. The closing ranks for B.Tech in IPU colleges in recent years have not gone below this threshold, making it highly unlikely to secure any B.Tech seat through JEE Main counseling in IPU. Additionally, the university requires at least 55% in PCM in Class 12, which she meets, but the JEE Main score is the limiting factor. Recommendation: Explore private engineering colleges in Delhi-NCR or other states where lower JEE Main percentiles are accepted, or consider alternative career paths such as B.Sc. or vocational courses, as B.Tech in IPU is not feasible with the current score. All the best for your niece admission and a bright future!

Ans: With a CRL rank of 114325, your chances of getting admission into either PEC Chandigarh or UIET Chandigarh for a B.Tech program are limited, but not impossible, especially if you are a home-state candidate. Both colleges are highly competitive, and the cutoff ranks vary depending on the branch and category.

Ans: With a JEE Main rank of 367680, your son has a few options for CS with AI and ML, but it's likely he'll need to consider some less competitive colleges or branches. He might find success in certain NITs or IIITs, but it's important to explore options outside of the top-ranked institutions.

Ans: With a 96 percentile and All India Rank of 63437, a student is eligible for admission to some IIITs and NITs, especially those in the Northeast region, and might also consider some private engineering colleges.
