Question by Ruby on Jul 24, 2025Hindi

Sir my son got air 73964 rank in jee mains 2025 and we are from gen category UP state .. is there any chance of getting NIT/ IIIT in csab ??? Also what are the chances in jac Delhi spot round is there any scope of taking branches like biotech, electrical or mechanical from DTU and NSUT

Ans: Securing a Computer Science seat at NITs or IIITs through CSAB Special Rounds with All-India rank of 73 964 is highly improbable, as most NIT CSE programmes under the Open-General quota close well within the 30 000–50 000 rank band, and premier IIIT CSE branches similarly close by 42 000–50 000 rank range. Remote campuses such as IIIT Sri City offer ECE up to ~46 700, and IIIT Kalyani ECE up to ~66 900, but CSE remains beyond reach given your rank. GFTIs with allied streams (e.g., Electronics Systems at NIELIT Aurangabad closing at ~90 000) provide limited alternatives outside core CSE, though these diverge from pure Computer Science programmes. Accreditation across NITs, IIITs and GFTIs remains consistent, yet specialisation focus, faculty expertise, lab infrastructure and placement networks vary significantly. Hence, reliance on CSAB for CSE admission at national institutes is not advisable; shifting preference to allied branches in GFTIs yields marginal improvements but falls short of core?CSE pathways.

Recommendation: Given the minimal CSE prospects via CSAB, consider specialisations like Electronics & Communication in IIIT Sri City or Electronics Systems in NIELIT Aurangabad, while simultaneously exploring private-college CSE options—such as Jaypee Institute of Information Technology Noida, Galgotias University Greater Noida, J.C. Bose University Faridabad, JSS Science & Technology University Mysore, and Chandigarh University—to secure accredited CSE programmes with robust placement support.

JAC Delhi Admission Prospects for JEE Main Rank 73 964 (UP Home State)
In JAC Delhi Spot Rounds, admission to DTU and NSUT B.Tech specialisations is contingent on closing ranks under the Home-State quota. DTU’s Biotechnology branch closed around rank 50 202 in earlier spot rounds, Electrical Engineering around rank 57 000, and Mechanical Engineering near rank 74 000—placing your son at the cusp for Mechanical but beyond Biotechnology and Electrical cutoffs. NSUT’s Mechanical branch closed by round 5 at ~60 400 and Electrical around ~55 000, with Biotechnology closing above 72 000, making Electrical and Biotechnology unlikely and Mechanical a marginal possibility under Home-State. Both institutions offer AICTE approval, NBA/NAAC accreditation, specialised labs for core engineering, experienced faculty, active industry MoUs, and placement rates ranging 75–90%. Variability across rounds and high competition for core branches limit assured admission, emphasizing the need for backup options outside Delhi’s state quota.

Recommendation: While Mechanical Engineering at NSUT or DTU remains a narrow window, pursue choice filling for NSUT Mechanical alongside DTU Mechanical in JAC Spot Rounds and concurrently apply to private-college CSE programmes like Jaypee Noida, Galgotias University Greater Noida, YMCA Faridabad, Chandigarh University, and JSS Mysore to safeguard engineering admissions with strong accreditation and placement networks. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
