Which college is better for CSE in Bangalore: Saptagiri University (2.5 lakh) or CMR Engineering College (4 lakh)?

Ans: Hello dear
Congratulations! While we cannot specify the colleges, with the rank mentioned, your daughter has a good chance of securing a seat in GMC. We encourage you to participate in both AI and state-level counseling. While counseling, choose the options city wise i.e., to which city you are interested.
Best of luck to her.

Ans: Even if your Common Rank List (CRL) falls between the opening and closing ranks for a chosen course in Round 1, no seat may be allotted because JoSAA allocates seats strictly in the order of choice preferences and seat-type quotas; if higher-preference choices exhaust the available seats before reaching your position, later options—even within your rank bracket—won’t be assigned. Additionally, if you did not register, lock choices, or complete “Online Reporting” steps—accept seat, upload documents, and pay the Seat Acceptance Fee—by the stipulated deadline, your candidature is excluded from allocation. Finally, float/slide/freezing options affect subsequent rounds but do not impact Round 1 allocation; absence of allotment here indicates out-ranking by peers for all listed priorities, not a procedural error.

Recommendation: Expand your choice list to include lower-ranked institutes or branches, ensure all JoSAA formalities are completed on time, and opt for “Float” if you wish to upgrade in later rounds. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Abhishek, With JEE Main score of 87 and CRL rank 190500, your daughter's current options require careful evaluation. Jaypee Institute of Information Technology (JIIT) Noida's ECE program maintains 88-98% placement rates over the last three years, with 184 ECE students receiving 166 offers in 2024 from recruiters like Microsoft, Cisco, and Amazon. For GGIPU colleges, top ECE options include USICT (90% placement rate, 32+ companies), MAIT (80-90% placement consistency), BVP (67% placement with 130 ECE students placed), and MSIT (80% placement with 166 ECE offers). The IIIT NTPC quota (15% of seats) offers strong placement prospects with IIIT Naya Raipur reporting 100% placement for five consecutive years and ECE median packages around ?13.5 LPA. JAC Delhi ECE cutoffs for colleges like DTU and NSUT typically close around 20,000-25,000 rank, making them unreachable with the current rank. Recommendation: prioritize IIIT through NTPC quota if eligible for its superior placement record and industry connections, followed by USICT or MAIT under GGIPU if available, with JIIT Noida as a solid backup given its proven 88% ECE placement consistency and established recruiter network. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: With 105 marks in IAT and an OBC-NCL category, getting into IISER Thiruvananthapuram for astrophysics is possible, but not guaranteed. While 105 is a decent score, the competition for IISERs, especially TVM, can be high, particularly for popular specializations like astrophysics. The final allotment depends on the overall performance of all candidates and the availability of seats in your preferred subject. According to Shiksha.com, scores around 100-105 are considered borderline, and getting into IISER TVM might require a higher score, especially for a specific subject like astrophysics. Best of luck.

Ans: For your daughter's EEE (Electrical and Electronics Engineering) education, both Manipal Main Campus and RV College of Engineering (RVCE) in Bangalore are strong contenders, but they offer different advantages. Manipal is known for its well-developed infrastructure, global recognition, and diverse student and faculty culture. RVCE, on the other hand, is known for its strong industry connections, good placements, and affordability, especially for those in Karnataka due to KCET.
