My son got 99.49 in JEE session 1, Haryana based. now we should focus on JEE session 2 to Improve score or focus on JEE Advance

Ans: JEE ADVANCE. In the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE), "JEE Session 1" and "JEE Session 2" refer to the two separate attempts of the JEE Main exam, which is the first stage of the JEE, while "JEE Advanced" is the second, more difficult stage that only those who qualify JEE Main can take, primarily for admission into the prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). Now if the child is confident then straight away go for JEE ADVANCE. I think he should go for that. But this is my view based on the present situation. But if your son is still a bit diffident then let him improve his score through JEE session 2 and after that he can go for JEE ADVANCE. But I personally feel there is no point in wasting energy and time for JEE 2. Let him concentrate on JEE ADVANCE, if he prepares well and on that particular day his luck cooperates then he will get any of the IITs. In our time there were only five IITs and one BHU-IT. But now there are many IITS. So certainly he should get in one of the IITs based on his rank of JEE ADVANCE. But please note one thing, never compromise with the stream, you are free to compromise with the institutes. If stream of his interest is not taken he will start cutting sorry figures. Best of luck to your son. May GOD bless him. Regards. Professor.........................................:)

Give some suggestions for session 2 preparation and for Jee advance
Ans: Effective Study Strategy for JEE Main & Advanced – A Step-by-Step Guide

Karthika,

You haven't mentioned whether you appeared for the January JEE Main session or not. If you did, sharing your percentile score would help provide a more precise answer. However, here’s a general strategy based on different scenarios:

If You Did NOT Appear for the January JEE Main Session
Focus on Past Papers: Solve 20-30 years of previous JEE question papers to understand question patterns.
Target Mistakes: Identify wrongly answered questions in mock tests & practice exams (from coaching centers or self-study) and revise them multiple times.
Daily Revision: Regularly go through short notes and formulas to strengthen your concepts.
Mock Test Practice: Attempt time-bound mock tests (offline or online) whenever possible, analyze your mistakes, and work on improving weak areas.

If You Appeared for the January JEE Main & Scored Between 80-95 Percentile
Time Allocation:

Dedicate 80% of your study time to JEE Main preparation.
Spend 20% of your time on JEE Advanced concepts to build a strong foundation.
Continue practicing problems and following the same revision strategies mentioned above.

If You Scored Above 95 Percentile in January JEE Main
Time Allocation:

Focus 80% of your time on JEE Advanced preparation (since you have a good chance of qualifying).
Dedicate 20% of your time to JEE Main April session (as a backup).
Follow the same approach as JEE Main—practicing difficult questions, revising formulas, and taking timed mock tests.
Don't Forget Board Exam Preparation! Depends upon your Board & the Board Exam State as of now.
Balance your JEE preparation with Board Exam studies, depending on your exam schedule and syllabus coverage.
If your Board Exams are near, allocate specific study hours for both to avoid last-minute pressure.
Final Advice:
Maintain discipline & consistency in your preparation.
Focus on concept clarity and mistake analysis.
Keep a healthy balance between JEE & Board Exam studies.
Wishing you all the best for your JEE & Board Exams!

I have got amrita blr campus eee, 9814 rank in comedk. I might get CSD in DSCE or any other branch through comedk. My hs is WB soni might take admission in cse in techno mains . What should i choose?
Ans: Amrita University Bengaluru’s B.Tech EEE admits via AEEE with closing ranks around 20454 and leverages NAAC A++ accreditation, NBA-approved faculty, dedicated power-electronics and robotics labs, industry tie-ups (Bosch, Siemens), and reports 85–90% placement consistency over the last three years. Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering’s BE CSD (Computer Science & Design) closes at COMEDK ranks of 3436–5261, but at rank 9814 your chances are minimal; DSCE’s CSD benefits from NBA accreditation, modern UI/UX and multimedia labs, and branch placements near 68%. Techno India University Kolkata’s WBJEE closing rank for B.Tech CSE (AI & ML) spans 5966–20190, making your rank of 9814 comfortably eligible; the program offers NAAC A accreditation, specialized AI/ML and data-analytics labs, industry collaborations with Cognizant and TCS, and ~75% placement rates over three years.

recommendation
Given assured admission, strong EEE infrastructure, and higher placement stability, recommendation is Amrita Bengaluru EEE. If you prioritize core CS specialization in design and AI, pursue Techno India Kolkata CSE (AI & ML). Avoid DSCE CSD due to rank constraints. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My son is admitted in IIT Jammu for MTech in Bio Sciences and Bio Engineering with specialisation in Medical Equipment. Is this a right choice for his placement after MTech. Or he should persue a PhD program later.
Ans: Kuldeep Sir, IIT Jammu’s new BSBE department (est. 2021) boasts interdisciplinary research in medical devices, bioelectronics, AI-driven healthcare, and 3D bioprinting with state-of-the-art labs such as biomedical instrumentation and computational biology. The MTech cohort achieved a 78.6% placement rate in 2024, with a median package of ?9.15 LPA and top recruiters spanning medical-device firms and healthcare consultancies. India’s medical-device market is projected to reach ?88 320 cr, driving demand for engineers skilled in design, regulatory affairs, and clinical engineering across PSUs and MNCs such as Siemens Healthcare, Medtronic, and GE Healthcare. While an MTech provides strong industry entry and practical exposure, a PhD opens roles in R&D leadership, regulatory policy, and academia—with higher long-term earning potential but delayed earnings.

Recommendation: For immediate industry entry with solid placement prospects in medical-device design and clinical engineering, recommendation is to pursue IIT Jammu MTech in Medical Equipment. If aiming for advanced R&D leadership, regulatory strategy, or a career in academia, consider enrolling in a PhD after gaining 1–2 years of industry experience. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
