Sir son got 91%tile jee mains obc ncl 44000 rank but cbse 12th compartment in maths sir next steps please

Ans: Your son's JEE Main score and rank are good, but his class 12th compartment in Mathematics might impact his eligibility for IIT admissions. Here's a breakdown of the next steps:
1. Eligibility for JEE Advanced:
Does JEE Advanced require a minimum percentage in 12th?
No, the Careers360 website states that JEE Advanced eligibility does not require a minimum percentage in class 12 for appearing in the exam.
What about IIT admissions?
Careers360 states that a minimum of 75% (or 65% for reserved categories) in the overall class 12th is mandatory for IIT admissions.
Compartment and IIT eligibility:
Since your son has a compartment in Mathematics, he will need to clear that to be eligible for IIT admissions. Shiksha states that the 75% requirement is for admission to the institute, not for appearing in JEE Main.
2. Next Steps for IIT Admission:
Clear the compartment:
Your son needs to pass the Mathematics compartment exam to meet the eligibility criteria for IIT admissions.
Focus on JEE Advanced:
He should prepare for JEE Advanced, as the exam is based on the syllabus covered in classes 11 and 12.
Consider other engineering colleges:
Even with the compartment, he can still explore other engineering colleges that don't have the 75% requirement for admission.
Explore alternative engineering options:
If your son is not very keen on IITs, he can explore other engineering options like private engineering colleges or those with less stringent eligibility requirements.
3. Resources and Support:
JEE Main and JEE Advanced information:
Visit the official websites of NTA and IIT for official information and exam guidelines.
Counselling and guidance:
Consider consulting with a career counselor or educational advisor to explore different engineering pathways and support your son's decision-making process.
Community support:
Connect with other students and parents on online forums or social media groups to share information and experiences.

Hello sir/madam. I have secured a rank of 4.5k in manipal with which i can get ECE in main branch and 8919 rank in ts eapcet . Should i be considering state college or manipal if i choose ECE branch . Should i choose CSE or ECE if i am interested in both lf them
Ans: Shashank, With a 4.5k Manipal rank, you can secure Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) at MIT Manipal, which offers an 80–85% ECE placement rate, a vibrant campus, and strong recruiter presence from companies like Tata, Wipro, and Microsoft, with average packages around ?10.5–11.7 LPA and a median of ?8.5–9.7 LPA for 2024–2025. Your TS EAPCET rank of 8,919 makes ECE at top Telangana state colleges like Osmania University (cutoff ~3,540–5,500), CBIT (cutoff ~6,000), and Vasavi (cutoff ~6,000) unlikely, but you may get ECE at GRIET (cutoff ~13,541) or MGIT (cutoff ~13,541), which have good regional reputations but generally lower placement averages and recruiter diversity compared to Manipal. If you are interested in both CSE and ECE, CSE offers higher employability in the private sector, broader roles in software, data science, and analytics, and slightly higher average starting packages (?7–12 LPA for CSE vs. ?5–10 LPA for ECE), while ECE provides flexibility in both core electronics and IT jobs, with strong PSU and hardware opportunities.

Recommendation: Prefer ECE at MIT Manipal over state colleges for better national brand, recruiter diversity, and placement outcomes; if you are equally interested in CSE and ECE, CSE is better for wider job options and higher private-sector demand, but ECE at Manipal still ensures strong career prospects in both hardware and software domains. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
