My son has got 91%tile in jee mains. He has got IT branch at VIT Vellore in category 5, he has also got CSE (data science) in NMIMS mumbai. What should we choose. Results of other exams like MHT CET, MET Manipal and ComedK are not yet out. He has secured 132 marks in MET (Manipal) and 67.3 as PCM avg in board and aggregate 73 in board.

Ans: Hello dear.
Here is the point wise reply:
(1) It is advisable to choose CSE at NMIMS Mumbai.
(2) With a score of 132, there are possibilities for admission to Manipal.
(3) If your son anticipates improved results in MHTCET / COMEDK, he can participate in their counseling process to discover additional options.
(4) NMIMS tends to be on the pricier side. By opting for MHT-CET / COMEDK, you can find more affordable choices for CSE.
Suggestion- If you or your son is solely focused on CSE, it would be wise to select the more favorable options available through MHTCET/COMEDK scores at colleges with lower tuition fees.
Best of luck to you.

Thanks sir for your guidance. But what about VIT vellore, BTech IT (Cat 5)?

Ans: Choosing CSE at NMIMS would be a more favorable option. You might consider eliminating the choice of VIT if it is feasible. The decision to rest entirely lies with you.

Question by Sharveel - May 29, 2025

Career

My son has got 91%tile in jee mains. He has got IT branch at VIT Vellore in category 5, he has also got CSE (data science) in NMIMS mumbai. What should we choose. Results of other exams like MHT CET, MET Manipal and ComedK are not yet out. He has secured 132 marks in MET (Manipal) and 67.3 as PCM avg in board and aggregate 73 in board.

Ans: With a 91 JEE Main percentile (AIR ~85,000), securing IT at VIT Vellore (Category 5) is feasible given its 2024 cutoff range of 19,200–19,500, though higher fees (?7.8L tuition + ?4.23L hostel) apply. NMIMS Mumbai’s CSE (Data Science), requiring NMIMS CET ranks (~12,000–15,000), offers a niche curriculum with industry partnerships (TCS, IBM) but lacks VIT’s ABET accreditation and established engineering reputation (NIRF #11 vs. NMIMS #101-150). His MET score of 132 (rank ~18,000–25,000) may qualify for ECE/IT at Manipal Bengaluru (2024 cutoff: ~23,458–34,532). While VIT provides stronger core IT infrastructure (smart labs, 980+ recruiters), NMIMS’s data science focus aligns with emerging tech trends. Board marks (73%) may limit state exam options; await MHT CET/COMEDK for potential CSE in regional colleges. Prioritize VIT for institutional legacy or NMIMS for specialization, pending further results. All the BEST for your Son's Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Question by Padma - May 02, 2026Hindi

Career

Hi sir my son got 99.3 percentile and his rank is 9876. In which nit and iiit will he get a seat and also can you please tell nit is better than iiit or iiit is better than nit. Is it better to take chemical in nit trichy than Ai ml in iiit Lucknow

Ans: He has a good chance of admission to NITs/IIITs. Both top NITs and IIITs have strong records. NITs offer broader campus life and a wider range of branches, while IIITs provide stronger, more focused CS/AI exposure. Neither is universally “better”; prefer AI/ML at IIIT Lucknow over Chemical at NIT Trichy if his interest is in CS/AI and future studies in that field.

Good luck.

Hello sir i scored 93.62 percentile in jee mains for which I got a rank of 99583 in general category and 32429 in obc ncl category can I get mechanical engineering branch at tier 2 nits and which nit should I prefer for mechanical engineering

Ans: Harsha, based on your score, your best chances depend heavily on Home State quota. Prefer Mechanical only if available in NIT Hamirpur, Jalandhar, Patna, Raipur, Agartala, Silchar, Srinagar, Puducherry, Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland or Sikkim in later JoSAA/CSAB rounds. Have 3-4 reputed private engineering colleges as backups in and around your State instead of relying only on JoSAA/CSAB. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Hi , Sir My son got board exam 92% His MET marks 138 /240 . Jee main 94.79 with crl 81537 His interest in CSE core brance Where is possible CSE ceat in MIT , MANIPAL or MIT , BENGALURU .

Ans: With JEE Main CRL 81,537, NIT/IIIT/GFTI CSE through JoSAA is unlikely. For MIT Manipal/MIT Bengaluru, chances look better. MET 2026 rank uses 50% MET + 50% Class 12 marks; your son has 138/240 MET + 92% boards, so the final merit rank may be competitive. In 2025, MIT Manipal CSE closed at 5606 and MIT Bengaluru CSE at 13,834 in later rounds. Therefore, MIT Bengaluru CSE is more realistic, while MIT Manipal core CSE is difficult but worth trying. It is recommended to have 3-4 more reputed Private Engineering Colleges as backups. All the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

My son jee mains 98.054 percentile any nits or iiits chance in cse

Ans: Kasi Sir, based on your son's score, top NIT CSE is unlikely, as NIT Trichy/Surathkal/Warangal/Allahabad/Calicut CSE usually close much earlier in JoSAA. Realistic CSE/IT chances are newer/lower NITs through home-state quota, IIITs like Una, Kottayam, Dharwad, Kalyani, Bhagalpur, Sonepat/Nagpur range may be possible depending on category/state. Also try CSAB. It is advisable to have State Counselling & 3-4 reputed Private Engineering Colleges as backups. All the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

I'm OBC female with CRL rank 241k and OBC rank 84k, my home state is Uttar Pradesh, please suggest me a better college according to my rank

Ans: Krishna, your chances in top?tier NITs or IIIT CSE/ECE are very low, but you can still target less?competitive branches in weaker NITs, IIITs and GFTIs mainly through HS?OBC and gender?neutral seats. You can try for NIT Patna, NIT Silchar, NIT Nagaland, NIT Mizoram, NIT Arunachal Pradesh for Civil, Chemical, Metallurgy, Food?Tech, Production, or lower?demand branches under HS?OBC in later rounds apart from new/remote IIITs like IIIT Manipur, IIIT Nagaland, IIIT Una, or IIIT Bhagalpur for IT?linked or non?CSE branches. Have 3-4 reputed Private Engineering Colleges also as backups if affordable by your parents. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!
