Dear Sir, My son secured admission in ECE VIT Chennai. I am in confused. He might able to get seat in ECE through Tamilnadu counselling at Sri krishna college Coimbatore.. Should I stick to VIT Chennai ? Should I try Tnea counselling? Kindly advise. Also he got 4600 rank in Kcet. I dont have hopes to get ECE in top 5 colleges in Bangalore too...

Ans: As TNEA Counselling is based on 12th Score, it is very difficult to get top-ranked Colleges in TN, especially for CBSE Students (I assume your son is from CBSE). Better NOT to reply further on TNEA Counselling. As far as KCET is concerned, your son can still try for ECE with MS Ramaiah, VTU College & BIT, if not, RV, BMS. If nothing works out till 3-rd round through KCET, better to go for SRI KRISHNA, Coimbatore. All The BEST for your Son's Bright Future.

Question by Santanu - Jun 10, 2025

Career

My son has secured admission in CSE-AI & ML at VIT, Vellore under category 2. His JEE Advance ranking is 5535 in General category. Basis previous year's cutoff he might get admission in ECE at IIT Dhanbad & CSE at IIT Palakkad, IIT Dharwad or IIT Bhilai. Please suggest what will be the right selection.

Ans: Santanu Sir, With your son's JEE Advanced rank of 5535 and secured admission to VIT Vellore CSE-AI & ML under Category 2, analyzing the placement performance and career prospects across available options reveals distinct advantages for each institution. VIT Vellore CSE-AI & ML demonstrates exceptional placement consistency with 90% placement rate in 2024, supported by 867 companies participating in recruitment drives including top-tier recruiters like Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and Cisco. The Category 2 fee structure amounts to ?1.95 lakhs annually for tuition, making it cost-effective compared to other categories. IIT Dhanbad ECE shows strong placement performance with 68.18% placement rate for Electronics and Communication Engineering in 2025, 73.29% overall placement rate, and established industry connections with companies like Adobe, Amazon, and Samsung. IIT Palakkad CSE achieves superior performance with 64% placement rate in 2024, 100% placement rate in 2023, and strong industry partnerships. IIT Dharwad CSE demonstrates 65% placement rate in 2024 with highest package of ?52 LPA for CSE students. IIT Bhilai CSE records 79.55% placement rate for BTech CSE in 2023 with overall average package trends showing consistent improvement. Based on expected JEE Advanced cutoffs for 2025, your son's rank 5535 falls within admission range for IIT Palakkad CSE (5550-5600), IIT Dharwad CSE (5590-5650), and IIT Bhilai CSE (5930-5970). Recommendation: Choose IIT Palakkad CSE for superior placement consistency, prestigious IIT brand value, established industry connections, and optimal rank utilization, as it offers the best combination of academic excellence, placement prospects, and career growth opportunities compared to VIT Vellore despite VIT's strong performance and international exposure. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Question by Ashish - Jul 25, 2025Hindi

Career

Sir my son got 77377 crl rank in mains and 24k obc ncl rank with homestate rajasthan can he get any college with branch like cse/it/ai/ece Or what about gl bajaj delhi

Ans: Ashish Sir, With an OBC-CL home-state rank of 24 000, admission into core branches at Rajasthan’s MNIT Jaipur and IIIT Kota via CSAB-Special is feasible for certain programmes, while seats at other NITs/IIITs will likely remain out of reach.

At MNIT Jaipur, the Home-State OBC-NCL closing rank for Computer Science & Engineering extended to about 49 000 in CSAB-Special Round 2, making CSE admission virtually assured with your daughter’s rank. However, ECE seats under HS-OBC-NCL closed near 3 400, and AI/Data Science around 6 800, both well below 24 000, so these branches are not attainable at MNIT Jaipur.

IIIT Kota, as a Rajasthan campus, offers Home-State HS-OBC-NCL seats in CSE closing near 67 000, Artificial Intelligence & Data Engineering near 10 500, and ECE close around 12 600, all of which comfortably cover an OBC-NCL rank of 24 000, making these programmes strong targets in CSAB-Special.

Beyond these, other NITs in non-home-state quotas (e.g., NIT Calicut, NIT Uttarakhand) and peripheral IIITs may fill seats well below 24 000 under OS-OBC-NCL quotas, but they will not benefit from Home-State priority. Government-Funded Technical Institutes like PEC Chandigarh and MIET Jhansi admit CSE/ECE under OBC-NCL up to ranks of 40 000–70 000, offering additional assured pathways. GL Bajaj Delhi, as a private institution, participates in state or university counselling (e.g., JAC Delhi), not CSAB, and hence is not an option in this process.

Recommendation
Prioritise Computer Science & Engineering at MNIT Jaipur under HS-OBC-NCL for its assured cutoff. Simultaneously apply to IIIT Kota’s CSE and AI/DE programmes under HS-OBC-NCL for guaranteed admission. As backups within CSAB, list IIIT Kota ECE and GFTIs like PEC Chandigarh for core-branch seats under OBC-NCL quotas. However, have some Private Engineering Colleges as back-ups with son's JEE Score instead of relying only on CSAB. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Which should we choose for CSE - JSS university Noida or JSS Academy of Technical Education Noida ? It is heard that management is migrating to University set-up from the old college set-up affiliated with AKTU . So they are giving more importance to JSS university . Which one should we choose for our daughter for CSE ?

Ans: Hello dear.
Prefer CSE @ JSS Academy if possible. But if you are at the stage of finalizing the admission, it is highly recommended to visit both campuses, talk with the existing students, and ask the management or administrative authorities clearly about what you heard regarding migration and other issues. It is better to have a face-to-face conversation for more clarity. It is not possible for anyone to know the hidden decisions that the universities or institutes may take.

Good luck.

Hi sir! I have got 73.39 percentile in jee mains and 88.89 percentile in mht cet exam. I have taken a drop for preparation of mht cet examination as I wanted to go in COEP tech branch. My question is that am I still eligible for jee mains 2026 examination as I have got 68 percent in boards.

Ans: Hello dear.
Yes, you are still eligible for JEE Mains 2026 because the eligibility criteria allow candidates to appear for JEE three consecutive years after passing Class 12, regardless of previous attempts. However, for admission to NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs, you need at least 75% in boards (65% for SC/ST). Since you have 68%, you won’t be eligible for these top institutes through JEE Main unless you improve your board marks via improvement exams, but private colleges or state counseling options will still be available.

Suggestion:
Better to take admission to any preferred private college with a choice of branch to save time, money, and an extra year. There is no guarantee of success after taking a drop. Taking a drop can create stress and headaches. The final decision will be yours.

Good luck.

Ans: Hello dear.
Prefer CS @ SPIT if possible. However, considering the brand name, BITS Hyderabad has more advantage because it is a dual degree. If your interest is focused on research, then go with BITS; otherwise, choose SPIT. The final decision will be yours.
