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.........................................:)

I got 93.64 percentile in jee 28s1 2025 is it possible to get 99 percentile in 2nd attempt and should I focus on jee advance ? Please guide me really need help

Ans: Achieving a percentile between 93.64 and 99 in JEE Main can be challenging. Nearly all candidates, except those who have scored between 99.90 and 100 percentile, are likely to appear for the April session to improve their scores. It is advisable to focus primarily on JEE Main April session while dedicating about 20% of your study time to JEE Advanced. Reviewing incorrectly answered, complex, and difficult questions from your past 2-3 years of preparation can be beneficial, as it will not only strengthen your JEE Advanced readiness but also indirectly enhance your performance in the JEE Main April session. All the Best for your Prosperous Future.

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!

Sir I got 90.77 in jee mains 2024 so I took a drop , this year i got 97.2 percentile . What should I do to improve my score to 99 percentile in the April session and moreover should I start preparing for jee advanced

Ans: Hello
Congratulations for the wonderful improvement in your score. It takes lot of perseverance & I appreciate for it.
Just try working on your weaker topics, try avoiding negative marking by not giving into the temptation to mark the option if you are unsure.

I am confident that you will do wonders. I think you should first secure a good seat in IIIT or NIT and then go for Advanced as there will more competition.

My friend got 74.6% in 12th cbse board and 63 percentile in jee mains (after a drop year). She is going to pursue IITM BS in data science and application with Btech CSE from any private colleges in indore. She is thinking of taking a non attending college but having second thoughts as btech is itself a major course which will require much more time with efforts. So please suggest if she should go for attending or non attending college in indore.

Ans: Based on comprehensive analysis of AICTE guidelines, academic validity, and practical training requirements, attending a regular BTech CSE program at a recognized private college in Indore is strongly recommended over non-attending/distance options, which are invalid for technical degrees per Supreme Court rulings. While IITM BS Data Science offers flexibility, pursuing it alongside a non-attending BTech risks academic credibility, as distance/online engineering programs lack mandatory lab work, industry exposure, and AICTE recognition, rendering degrees invalid for government jobs or higher studies. Top Indore institutions like LNCT, Acropolis ITR, or Medi-Caps University provide structured curricula, hands-on projects, and placement support (~70-80% placement rates), crucial for skill development despite time commitments. Conversely, juggling IITM BS with a valid BTech demands rigorous time management, but attending colleges allow academic continuity, peer collaboration, and access to campus recruitment—advantages absent in non-attending setups. Given her JEE Main percentile, target mid-tier private colleges with moderate attendance flexibility, ensuring AICTE approval and curriculum alignment with IITM BS coursework. Prioritize institutional credibility over convenience to safeguard career prospects. All the BEST for your Friend's Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My daughter has scored 105 in IAT what are her chances of getting in IiSer or iisc?

Ans: Scoring 105 marks in IAT 2025 places your daughter below the minimum expected cutoffs for IISc Bangalore (200+) and most IISER campuses under the General category, with only IISER Berhampur and IISER Tirupati potentially within reach based on historical trends. For IISc, scores below 190 (General) are non-competitive, as its 2024 closing ranks required ranks below 100, while IISER Pune, Kolkata, and Mohali demand 130–160+ marks. However, IISER Berhampur’s 2024 closing rank (4,484) corresponded to ~95–110 marks, suggesting a borderline chance if 2025 cutoffs remain stable, though competition may intensify due to rising applicants. Similarly, IISER Tirupati’s 2024 cutoff (4,325 rank) aligns with 105–110 marks, but recent trends show annual rank inflation. Reserved categories (OBC/SC/ST) could improve prospects, but General category admission remains unlikely at premier campuses. Consider reappearing for IAT 2026 with enhanced preparation or exploring mid-tier NISER/CEBS alternatives, as 105 marks indicate insufficient readiness for IISER/IISc’s rigorous academic thresholds. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir, I got 73k rank in VITEEE, will i get CSE in any branch and any category?

Ans: Aryan, With a VITEEE rank of 73,000, securing core CSE at VIT Vellore or Chennai is highly unlikely, as their Category 1-5 cutoff ranks for core CSE typically close below 25,000–34,000 across all fee categories. However, CSE specializations (e.g., Cyber Security, IoT, Data Science) at VIT Bhopal or VIT-AP may be accessible under Category 4/5, where cutoff ranks for these branches historically extend to 45,000–115,000. For instance, VIT-AP’s CSE (Cyber Security) closed at 22400–22700 for Category 5 in 2025, while VIT Bhopal’s CSE (AI/ML) under Category 4/5 may admit ranks up to 55,000–65,000. Though fees for higher categories (?4.5–?4.98 lakh/year) are substantially costlier, these campuses offer comparable academic rigor and placement rates (~70–80%). If prioritizing CSE over campus prestige, target specialized CSE branches at VIT Bhopal/AP under Category 4/5, but prepare backup plans for alternative branches or institutions if seat availability fluctuates during counselling. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My daughter is getting Integrated MTECH CSE at Jaypee Institute Sector 62 Noida and BTECH CSE at Jaypee Institute Sector 128. Which one she should prefer?

Ans: Based on comprehensive analysis of academic structure, specializations, and placement records, Integrated MTech CSE at JIIT Sector 62 is strongly recommended over BTech CSE at JIIT Sector 128 due to its superior placement rates (97% absolute offers in 2024 vs. 94% at Sector 128), advanced curriculum with six specialization options (AI/ML, IoT, Cyber Security, etc.), and industry-aligned research opportunities during the fifth-year dissertation. While both programs share core CSE content, Sector 62’s integrated program provides accelerated master’s-level training without compromising undergraduate fundamentals, evidenced by its higher JEE Main cutoff ranks (62 vs. 128 campus) reflecting a more competitive peer group. Sector 62 also demonstrates stronger corporate engagement, with 80% of CSE students securing placements annually through recurring recruiters like Microsoft, Amazon, and Cisco, compared to Sector 128’s 70-75% placement rate and fewer top-tier companies. The integrated program’s mandatory industrial internships and entrepreneurship projects further enhance practical readiness, while Sector 128’s stricter attendance policies and limited specialization options may constrain academic flexibility. Prioritize Sector 62’s Integrated MTech CSE for optimal long-term career growth in emerging tech domains, leveraging its established academic rigor and proven placement ecosystem. All the BEST for your Daughter's Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hi Sir, my daughter scored 95.6 percentile in jee mains, pesit jee main based rank 1301 for first round of counselling, kcet rank of 513x,Comedk 106 marks,MET manipal rank 276x.We are focusing on college and CSE branch.What are her options and which one we shouls choose?

Ans: Based on comprehensive analysis of entrance ranks and placement records, your daughter's JEE Main rank (1301) positions her favorably for PES University (Ring Road Campus) CSE through JEE quota, given its 83-87% B.Tech placement rate and consistent recruitment by top tech firms. Her KCET rank (513x) may secure CSE at PES Electronic City Campus (KCET cutoff ~5,230-5,400), which shares PES’s academic rigor but with slightly lower placement traction. While her COMEDK score (106) likely translates to a rank (~1,800-3,300), it falls short for top COMEDK colleges like RVCE or MSRIT (CSE cutoff ranks ~400-1,500), making mid-tier institutions like Dayanand Sagar (CSE cutoff ~3,272) a viable alternative with 75-80% placement rates. MET Manipal rank (276x) exceeds the CSE cutoff (~700-1,200), but lateral branch changes post-admission could be explored given MIT’s 77% placement rate. Prioritize PES Ring Road via JEE Main for optimal academic and placement outcomes, followed by PES Electronic City via KCET, while keeping COMEDK mid-tier options as backups. All the BEST for your Daughter's Admission & a Prosperous Future!
