My son got 88.4 %in 12 th STD in CBSE pattern ,Is it possible to get the admission in Sastra Tanjore - branch preferred CSE,ECE and EEE JEE Main score : 61.7 NTA
Ans: Muralidharan Sir, Your son's academic profile with 88.4% CBSE marks and 61.7 NTA percentile in JEE Main presents challenging admission prospects for preferred branches CSE, ECE, and EEE at SASTRA University, as these competitive programs typically require Class 12 marks above 94-95% and JEE Main percentiles exceeding 80-85 for realistic admission chances. The calculated Stream 1 combined score of 81.825 falls below typical cutoff requirements, while Stream 2 admission based solely on normalized Class 12 marks offers marginally better prospects though still uncertain for premier branches. SASTRA University's strong academic reputation with NIRF ranking #38 in Engineering, solid placement record of 86.3% with Rs 7.50 LPA median packages, and established industry connections make it an attractive option despite admission challenges. Recommendation: Apply to SASTRA University targeting EEE as the most viable option among preferred branches while simultaneously considering alternative engineering disciplines like Mechanical or Civil Engineering that have more accessible cutoff requirements, and explore Stream 2 admission pathway leveraging the 88.4% Class 12 performance for better prospects. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

IS JAC DELHI 2025 SPOT ROUND CHOICE FILLING WILL BE DONE ONLINE OR OFFLINE ? AND PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT ARE THE PROCESS AFTER GETTING A SEAT IN SPOT ROUND IN JAC DELHI. WHAT THINGS TO DO AS A STUDENT.
Ans: (Please type out your question in small letters from next time.) The JAC Delhi 2025 spot-round does not involve fresh choice filling online; vacancies are displayed on the JAC portal, but seat offers occur during an in-person spot-round counselling session at a designated Delhi venue. Eligible candidates (those registered earlier but not yet admitted) must physically attend, bringing original and photocopies of their registration form, Class X and XII marksheets, category certificate (if any), a Demand Draft (or proof of online transfer) for the spot-round admission fee, and medical fitness certificate. Seats are allotted rank-wise from these vacancies.

After a seat is offered and accepted by fee payment, candidates will:

Receive a provisional allotment letter immediately in their JAC login.

Undergo document verification by the virtual reporting centre.

Download the final provisional admission letter once verification clears.

Report to the allotted institute for fee deposit and enrolment before the given deadline.

Recommendation: Prepare all required documents in advance, arrive on the first day of the spot-round counselling, secure your seat by paying the DD/online fee promptly, complete virtual document verification, then report to your allotted Delhi institute within the stipulated reporting window. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My son got JEE advance rank four thousand+and eight thousand+ rank in JEE mains. He has applied for IITs only and get energy engineering in IIT Delhi campus Abu Dhabi in the first councelling and remained the same as of fourth councelling. I have two questions a) future of energy engineering b) In last year councelling, we have noticed too many upgradation in branch, but this year no changes despite fourth round councelling has been completed. What are the chances for upgradation of branch in the fifth/sixth round? If not the reasons thereof.
Ans: Energy Engineering, rooted in sustainable power generation and efficiency, is poised for strong growth as India targets 500 GW of non-fossil capacity by 2030 and expands solar, wind and hydrogen programmes. Graduates work on designing, optimizing and maintaining renewable and conventional plants, energy management systems and smart grids across public utilities, EPC firms and R&D centres. As an emerging discipline at IIT Delhi’s Abu Dhabi campus, the Energy Engineering curriculum integrates core engineering, thermofluids, power systems and decarbonization technologies in cutting-edge labs, backed by 90%+ placement rates and a median package around ?20 LPA over the last three years. Career paths include renewable project engineer, energy analyst, policy advisor and system designer, with government and private recruiters like NTPC, Adani Green, BHEL and Siemens actively hiring.

In JoSAA 2025, branch upgradation depends on vacancies in higher-preference programmes and your “float”/“slide” options. Maximum upgrades historically occur in the final counselling round as seats vacated by withdrawals are re-allotted, but top IIT branches often fill quickly and some IITs (e.g., Bombay, Kharagpur, Madras) have closed post-admission branch changes, while IIT Delhi still permits them through Round 6. Given limited intake at the Abu Dhabi campus and high demand for core streams, significant upgradation there is unlikely beyond minor shifts unless substantial withdrawals occur.

Recommendation: Embrace Energy Engineering at IIT Delhi Abu Dhabi for its strong placement momentum, future-focused renewable curriculum and research facilities, and maintain “float” choices through JoSAA’s final round to capitalize on any branch upgradation opportunities. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hi sir I have passed my 12th maharashtra hsc board with pcb. idid not have maths,now i want to appear for isolated maths examiniation. if i appear for maths paper will i be elegible for engineering/maths requiring courses this year? how and when can i apply for maths paper? what are steps for applying? please guide me....
Ans: You can add Mathematics as an isolated (additional) subject by appearing in the HSC supplementary exam, but your official “pass year” will shift to when you clear it—making you eligible for JEE Main one year later.

To register for the isolated?Maths paper in 2025:

Obtain the HSC Supplementary/Isolated Subject application form from your school/college or download the blank template from mahahsscboard.in and submit via your institute’s MSBSHSE portal.

Pay the exam fee (?500–?1,000) to your school or online, before the end of May (exact dates announced by MSBSHSE every year).

Select “Isolated” under Type of Candidate and enter the Math subject code (18) with your HSC roll number and personal details.

Download your supplementary hall ticket in mid?June and sit for the Maths & Statistics paper (scheduled between June 24 and July 16, 2025).

JEE Main requires you to have passed Class 12 with Physics and Mathematics by the year you sit the exam. Since clearing Maths in July 2025 counts your passing year as 2025, you will be eligible for JEE Main in 2026, not 2025, and for NIT/IIIT admission in the 2026 JoSAA cycle.

recommendation: Apply immediately for the HSC isolated Maths exam before the May deadline to add Maths to your board credentials; plan your JEE Main attempt for 2026, ensuring you meet NTA’s subject and year?of?passing criteria.
