What are best nit colleges with best branch at 98.06 percentile jee mains obc category which cam give me a way to high packages in carrer
Ans: As already answered earlier to some same type of questions, To know which National Institutes of Technology (NITs) and branches you might be eligible for, consider the following steps: Identify your preferred branches: Check JoSAA Opening and Closing Ranks of 2024: The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) provides detailed information on the opening and closing ranks for NITS and branches. To access this information: Visit the official JoSAA website. Navigate to the section and select "Opening and Closing Ranks 2024". Input the desired parameters such as counseling round (preferably the last round for comprehensive data), institute type (e.g., NIT), specific institute names (preferably ALL option), academic programs (branches), and your category. Review the displayed data to identify institutes and branches that align with this percentile (94.25) and preferences. For a broader perspective, consider exploring opening and closing ranks from previous years, which can provide insights into trends and help set realistic expectations. Though your current score is good, it's prudent to have alternative options. Better to appear for additional entrance examinations / participate in your State Counselling Process to keep multiple pathways open. All the Best for your Prosperous Future.

I got 80.4 percentile in jee mains paper 2 - Iam OBC NCL Female can i get any better nit colleges in india B.Arch?
Ans: Here is, How to Predict Your Chances of Admission into NIT or IIIT or GFTI After JEE Main Results – A Step-by-Step Guide

Once the January JEE Main session results are declared, many students and JEE applicants started asking common questions about eligibility for specific institutes (NITs, IIITs, GFTIs, etc.) based on their percentile, category, preferred branch, and home state.

Providing precise admission chances for each student can be challenging. Some reputed educational websites offer ‘College Predictor’ tools where you can check possible college options based on your percentile, category, and preferences. However, for a more accurate understanding, here’s a simple yet effective 9-step method using JoSAA’s past-year opening and closing ranks. This approach gives you a fair estimate (though not 100% exact) of your admission chances based on the previous year’s data.

Step-by-Step Guide to Check Your Admission Chances Using JoSAA Data
Step 1: Collect Your Key Details
Before starting, note down the following details:

Your JEE Main percentile
Your category (General-Open, SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS, PwD categories)
Preferred institute types (NIT, IIIT, GFTI)
Preferred locations (or if you're open to any location in India)
List of at least 3 preferred academic programs (branches) as backups (instead of relying on just one option)
Step 2: Access JoSAA’s Official Opening & Closing Ranks
Go to Google and type: JoSAA Opening & Closing Ranks 2024
Click on the first search result (official JoSAA website).
You will land directly on JoSAA’s portal, where you can enter your details to check past-year cutoffs.
Step 3: Select the Round Number
JoSAA conducts five rounds of counseling.
For a safer estimate, choose Round 4, as most admissions are settled by this round.
Step 4: Choose the Institute Type
Select NIT, IIIT, or GFTI, depending on your preference.
If you are open to all types of institutes, check them one by one instead of selecting all at once.
Step 5: Select the Institute Name (Based on Location)
It is recommended to check institutes one by one, based on your preferred locations.
Avoid selecting ‘ALL’ at once, as it may create confusion.
Step 6: Select Your Preferred Academic Program (Branch)
Enter the branches you are interested in, one at a time, in your preferred order.
Step 7: Submit and Analyze Results
After selecting the relevant details, click the ‘SUBMIT’ button.
The system will display Opening & Closing Ranks of the selected institute and branch for different categories.
Step 8: Note Down the Opening & Closing Ranks
Maintain a notebook or diary to record the Opening & Closing Ranks for each institute and branch you are interested in.
This will serve as a quick reference during JoSAA counseling.
Step 9: Adjust Your Expectations on a Safer Side
Since Opening & Closing Ranks fluctuate slightly each year, always adjust the numbers for safety.
Example Calculation:
If the Opening & Closing Ranks for NIT Delhi | Mechanical Engineering | OPEN Category show 8622 & 26186 (for Home State), consider adjusting them to 8300 & 23000 (on a safer side).
If the Female Category rank is 34334 & 36212, adjust it to 31000 & 33000.
Follow this approach for Other State candidates Option also and different categories.
Pro Tip: Adjust your expected rank slightly lower than the previous year's cutoffs for realistic expectations during JoSAA counseling.

Can This Method Be Used for JEE April & JEE Advanced?
Yes! You can repeat the same steps after your April JEE Main results to refine your admission possibilities.
You can also follow a similar process for JEE Advanced cutoffs when applying for IITs.

Hello sir , my son got 31000 rank in jee mains and 17000 in jee advance , he has cleared AAT and as per mock round 1 he is getting BArch in IIT ROORKEE now we are confused should we keep this option or put other option like mechanical in nit kurukshetra, delhi , Hamirpur or IIIT UNA cse etc on top above it....how is the scope and atmosphere of IIT roorkee barch
Ans: Based on the latest placement data and institutional comparisons, IIT Roorkee’s B.Arch offers near-universal placement rates (90–100%) with recruiters like Microsoft, J.P. Morgan, and L&T, supported by interdisciplinary training in sustainability, smart cities, and heritage conservation. While Mechanical Engineering at NIT Kurukshetra (86% placement), NIT Delhi (75–85%), and NIT Hamirpur (98.06%) provide stable core-sector outcomes, roles are often restricted to manufacturing/automotive sectors, necessitating self-driven upskilling for IT transitions. IIIT Una’s CSE reports declining placement rates (61% in 2024 vs. 87% in 2023) despite higher demand for software roles, raising reliability concerns. IIT Roorkee’s **#1 NIRF Architectureanking, DGCA-recognized labs, and global research collaborations provide unmatched academic rigor and sectoral diversity, though architectural careers demand specific passion. Prioritize IIT Roorkee B.Arch for institutional prestige and placement assurance if inclined toward design/urban planning; opt for NIT Mechanical only if core engineering aligns with long-term goals, acknowledging the need for supplementary coding skills. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Is iit chemical good or mechanical good option ?
Ans: Based on placement trends and industry demand across IITs, Mechanical Engineering offers broader career opportunities with higher and more consistent placement rates compared to Chemical Engineering. Over the past three years, Mechanical Engineering at IITs like Bombay, Delhi, and Madras has maintained 80–90% placement rates, supported by recruitment across automotive, aerospace, energy, and manufacturing sectors, with core roles dominating placements. In contrast, Chemical Engineering placements exhibit greater variability, with top IITs like Bombay reporting 83–89% placement rates (2021–2024), while newer IITs like Tirupati and Dhanbad struggle with 33–65% rates, reflecting sector-specific demand fluctuations in petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and R&D. Mechanical’s curriculum aligns with diverse industries, enabling graduates to access roles in IT, consulting, and core engineering, whereas Chemical Engineering graduates often face narrower opportunities outside core sectors unless transitioning to data science or MBA. While both branches provide research pathways, Mechanical’s industry-agnostic skill set and higher recruiter diversity (e.g., Tata, Microsoft, Honda) make it a safer choice for placement security, whereas Chemical Engineering suits those committed to niche sectors like process engineering or environmental science. Prioritize Mechanical Engineering for stable career prospects unless deeply inclined toward chemical processes or research.
