Career

Hi My son got admission for BTech Mechanical Engineering - Manufacturing Engineering at VIT Vellore campus through entrance exam. Also now he got BE Mechanical Engineering at Anna University Guindy campus through NRI provision. Please advise which college he should select

Ans: Both VIT Vellore and Anna University Guindy are prestigious institutions, but they have different strengths. Look into the placement records for both programs to see which aligns better with your son’s career goals.
If your son is specifically interested in manufacturing engineering, VIT’s specialized program might be more beneficial.
If budget is a concern, Anna University might be a more economical choice.
Consider visiting both campuses to get a feel for the environment and facilities.

Question by ROHITH - Apr 22, 2026Hindi

Career

Dear Sir, My son scored 95.58 percentile in JEE Mains. What could be the possible NIT IIIT with OBC NCL male candidate & Tamilnadu Home State?

Ans: Rohith Sir, With a 95.58 percentile, your son should definitely participate in JoSAA and CSAB counseling; however, the exact shortlist depends on his OBC-NCL category rank rather than percentile alone, as JoSAA bases OBC-NCL closing ranks on category rank. For Tamil Nadu Home State, securing CSE, ECE, or EEE at NIT Tiruchirappalli is unlikely due to stronger recent closing ranks for OBC-NCL candidates. More realistic options include lower to mid-level branches at NIT Puducherry and some newer NITs, as well as selected IIIT and GFTI choices depending on branch flexibility. IIITDM Kancheepuram is also worth exploring, though competition for CSE and ECE remains high. If possible, have some 3-4 reputed Private Engineering Colleges of TN state (such as SNN, SNU, Sathyabhma, Amrita etc.) as backup options. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Sir I got 89.52 percentile with rank of 1.62 lakh in jee mains as delhi female I want to aim for cse /it / ece at govt or good private college . Moreover tell me about is ipu good for good placements . How much should I focus on tier of college is tier 2.5 or tier 3 better for me . I am also confused whether to take drop or not my maths percentile was least around 25 percentile and in chem and phy around 94 and 90 what would be best for me .

Ans: With an 89.52 percentile (approximately 1.62 lakh CRL), securing CSE, IT, or ECE in NITs or most IIITs through JoSAA is unlikely for an unreserved candidate, so it is best to use JoSAA and CSAB for lower-demand branches in GFTIs or NITs only. For Delhi, IPU is a strong option, particularly colleges like USICT, MAIT, MSIT, and BVCOE, with recent placement data showing credible hiring and a highest package of 41.2 LPA in 2024, although outcomes vary by college and branch. It is advisable to prioritize branch and college quality over focusing solely on tiers, as a good Tier-2.5 IPU seat in CSE/IT is preferable to a weak Tier-3 seat elsewhere. Given a 25 percentile in Maths, dropping a year is risky unless there is a realistic chance of substantial improvement; otherwise, it is better to accept the best available CSE/IT/ECE seat now. Fill in the maximum of your preferred choices in JoSAA counselling and if possible/affordable by your parents, have 3-4 private engineering colleges also as backups (in and around Delhi/neighbouring States) instead of relying only on JoSAA, CSAB & JAC. ALL the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Sir my Son got 87%ile in jee mains and 87 percent in cbse boards. He wants a b.tech course which will be very relevant and offer more opportunities in the coming years, priority is Computer Science. What counselling should he opt for? What private colleges should he apply for? Currently prepping for WBJEE, UGEE, VITEEE, MET and IAT. Please help.

Ans: The IAT is primarily for students interested in research, and your son's chances of admission to NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs for CSE/IT with an 87 percentile in JEE Main and 87% in CBSE may be low based on JoSAA's opening and closing ranks. It is recommended that he registers for JoSAA and CSAB Special counseling as initial steps but prioritizes WBJEE counseling, VITEEE, and MET, which currently offer stronger chances for industry-relevant B.Tech programs. For private colleges, options like VIT, Manipal, JIIT Noida (which accepts both JEE Main and 10+2 scores), Thapar, and LNMIIT (which admit students solely through JEE Main) are viable. It is wise to keep lower branches and GFTIs as backup options with JEE Score and have other private engineering colleges as backups. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Ans: Your son has a chance of getting into a mid-tier engineering college in Maharashtra through the MHT-CET OMS quota, but top colleges like COEP Pune or VJTI may be difficult. The chances will be fairer if your son has appeared for MHT-CET directly.

Hi..My son has moved to class 11 with pcm ..if he in case doesn't crack jee ..what emerging careers can he opt for and start preparing fr it from now only

Ans: Please do not think in a negative direction at this stage. Your son will appear for all types of competitive exams in 2028. The education field is changing continuously. It is advisable to wait and watch until the end of 2027. If your son does not show any real-time progress in the meantime, then think about other courses. Right now, at this stage, it is not advisable to suggest any other courses so far in advance.
