Ans: Choosing between CSE at JSS Noida/JIIT/GEU and Electronics Engineering (VLSI) at Thapar depends on career goals and branch relevance. JIIT Noida CSE leads with 91.47% placements (2024), Microsoft/Amazon recruiters, and a median salary of ?8.71 LPA, outperforming JSS Noida (80% placements, ?5.69 LPA median) and GEU (68.8% placements, ?6.42 LPA median). Thapar’s VLSI program offers a median of ?11.89 LPA with core roles in semiconductor sectors (Intel, Qualcomm) and institutional prestige (NIRF #20). Prioritize Thapar VLSI for niche electronics careers or JIIT CSE for robust tech opportunities. Opt for GEU or JSS if regional preferences or lower fees are critical, balancing specialization, placement consistency, and institutional reputation. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Hi Ma,
Difficult to get. To get clarity, wait till Jun 14.

Ans: Hi Mahmad,
Sufficient information not provide to predict.

Ans: Daksh, With a JEE Main rank of 183,693 (87.5 percentile), securing CSE/ECE in top GFTIs (e.g., IIIT Sri City, IIIT Kottayam) is unlikely, as their 2024 CSE cutoffs closed at 23,959–50,571 for general candidates. However, lesser-known GFTIs like Gurukula Kangri Vishwavidyalaya (Haridwar) (CSE cutoff: ~112,917) or Mizoram University (CSE cutoff: ~122,551) may offer seats in later CSAB rounds if vacancies arise. For ECE, explore Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering (Punjab) (cutoff: ~69,835) or J.K. Institute of Applied Physics & Technology (Allahabad) (ECE cutoff: ~67,123), though ranks remain competitive. Prioritize private universities like Amity/LPU via direct admission for CSE/ECE. Consider polytechnic diplomas followed by lateral entry or a drop year (not much recommended) to improve ranks for better options. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: The most common route for students like you is through NIOS (National Institute of Open Schooling):
Enroll in NIOS as a candidate for an additional subject (Mathematics).
Appear for the Senior Secondary (Class 12) exam in Mathematics.
Once you pass, you’ll have a valid Class 12 mark sheet with Mathematics as an added subject.


You can reappear for Class 12 from CBSE or another recognized board with Mathematics included:
Register as a private candidate with CBSE or a state board that allows this.
Appear for Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM).

Ans: With a JEE Main rank of 124,112, securing admission in top NITs/IIITs (e.g., NIT Trichy, Surathkal) is unlikely, but newer NITs like NIT Sikkim (ECE cutoff: ~209,000) or NIT Agartala (Production Engineering cutoff: ~307,000) may offer seats in later CSAB rounds, particularly for reserved categories. CFTIs like National Institute of Food Technology Entrepreneurship and Management (NIFTEM) (cutoff: ~100,380–105,781) or Indian Institute of Handloom Technology (cutoff: ~101,502) provide niche programs in food tech or textile engineering. For CSE/ECE, prioritize private universities like Sharda University (CSE cutoff: ~860,004 via management quota) or Amity Noida (direct admission with fee concessions), balancing affordability and placement records (~70–80% placements). Consider polytechnic diplomas for lateral entry into engineering programs if branch flexibility is acceptable. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: HI sir,
Difficult to get GMC.
Try for Private colleges..

Ans: ECE.
