I got 67 percentile what should be my next step in jee

Ans: Hello Nikita
You have to improve a lot & control negatives in second session of JEE, else it will be tough to get admission through JOSAA.
Alternatively, you can try enrolling for other entrance exams like VITEEE, Manipal, KITEEE, BITSAT, COMEDK, MHTCET, etc., to keep other engineering options open.

Hello sir can u tell me best college option at crl 338726 rank with sc category rank as 21726 homestate is maharashtra anything other councelling should I try? With csab and jossa
Ans: Sunil, I just reviewed last year’s JoSAA opening and closing ranks, and it appears that securing admission even in lower-demand branches with your rank will be quite challenging. However, I recommend you also double-check the possibilities yourself.

By the way, have you appeared for the MHT-CET exam? If yes, please share your expected score or rank. Additionally, have you registered or applied for any other entrance exams or colleges? Providing these details will help me give you a more precise and tailored response. ALL the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

My daughter completed class 12 from Delhi this year. She secured 42527 rank in JEE Mains and obtained the score of 242 in BITSAT. Record showing that she can secure a position in a dual-degree program at BITS Pilani. Thinking about M.Sc (Mathematics). Other options are NSUT and DTU with EE branch. What will be the best choice and any other option for her.
Ans: Dharmendra Sir, a BITSAT score of 242 is excellent, though her JEE score is somewhat lower in comparison. Regarding branch choice, it’s important to remember that almost all branches can lead to good careers if the student is genuinely interested and passionate, continuously upgrades both technical and non-technical skills, builds a strong network and personal brand, researches job market trends, and joins at least an above-average college with decent placement records.

Your daughter can consider BITS MSc in Mathematics if she has a strong interest in math. BITS placement records show over 70% placement rates in roles like Data Science, Analytics, Quant, and Finance for this program. Additionally, BITS allows MSc Maths students to switch to certain BE programs after the first year, based on meeting criteria such as minimum CGPA—but this is not guaranteed.

My advice is that she should not accept a BE branch she does not like, even if offered via CGPA-based promotion from MSc Maths.

If she prefers Electrical Engineering, then DTU’s EE branch would be a better first choice.

Overall, prioritizing MSc Mathematics at BITS seems to be the recommended path initially. ALL the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!
