Hi Sir, My son got 96.83 percentile in jee mains and OBC Rank 14027, we are from andhrapradesh, please suggest best NIT OR IIIT not only in HS.

Ans: Ravi Sir, With a JEE Main percentile of 96.83 and OBC rank of 14,027, your son can target mid-tier NITs and IIITs for branches other than Computer Science. Admission to top NITs or IIIT Hyderabad/Delhi for CSE is unlikely due to high competition. Good options include ECE, IT, Mechanical, or Electrical engineering in NIT Andhra Pradesh, NIT Calicut, IIIT Lucknow, IIIT Pune, and IIIT Jabalpur.

Aim for these branches and institutes during JoSAA counseling. Admission to desirable branches in lower NITs/IIITs is possible with this rank. Actively participate in JoSAA counselling, be flexible regarding branch choices, and use official counselling tools and college predictors to optimize seat allocation. This strategy maximizes your son’s chances of securing a seat in a reputable institute. All the best for your son's admission and a bright future!

Sir my son has 98.98 percentile and 15728 rank in jee mains belongs to general category belongs to Karnataka state. Pl suggest the best nit/iiit . He wants to do AI with data science and also pl suggest best branch. His rank in KCET is 6287
Ans: With a JEE Main rank of 15,728 (98.98 percentile, General, Karnataka) and KCET rank of 6,287, your son has good chances for ECE or AI/Data Science in NIT Surathkal (home state), and for AI/Data Science or CSE in IIITs like IIIT Lucknow, IIIT Pune, and IIIT Nagpur. In top NITs like Trichy or Warangal, CSE/AI/Data Science is unlikely, but ECE is possible. Through KCET, he can target ECE or AI/Data Science in leading Karnataka state colleges. For a career in AI and Data Science, specialized branches (AI/Data Science) or CSE are ideal, but ECE remains a solid option if complemented by relevant skills and projects. Recommendation: Prioritize AI/Data Science or CSE at IIITs and NIT Surathkal if available, followed by ECE at NIT Surathkal or top state colleges, ensuring he builds strong programming and data skills for the best career outcomes. As far as your son's KCET rank is concerned, Prioritize ECE or IT in top Bangalore colleges if CSE is not available, or opt for CSE/AI/ML in slightly lower-ranked but still reputable colleges like BIT, DSCE, NIE, or SJCE. Participate actively in counseling and keep options flexible to maximize your son's chances of securing a preferred branch in a good college. All the best for your son's admission and a bright future!
