Should My Son Rank 1350 in JEE Advanced Choose IIT Roorkee or BITS Pilani CS?

Ans: Both are good option. IIT Roorkee is a good option as it is IIT. I am a little inclined towards Bits as Computer science would provide better job opportunities in the future.

Ans: With JEE Main rank 46,784 and JEE Advanced rank 25,900, your son has access to multiple excellent engineering institutions with varying placement prospects and academic advantages. VIT Vellore CS demonstrates strong placement performance with 90% students placed and 867 companies participating in 2024, maintaining consistent placement rates across recent years. MIT Manipal CS shows exceptional placement consistency with 77% placement rate in 2025, 73% in 2024, and outstanding 92.9% in 2023, supported by over 230 recruiters including top-tier companies. IIIT Delhi Computer Science and Social Sciences offers unique interdisciplinary education with 84.09% placement rate in 2024, 90.63% in 2023, and 100% in 2022, providing specialized curriculum combining computing with social sciences. SMVDU Mathematics and Computing shows moderate placement statistics with 32.5% placement rate in 2024, 66.7% in 2023, though with limited fee structure of ?6.05 lakhs total. With Kashmiri Migrant quota benefits including up to 10% cutoff relaxation and supernumerary seats at institutions like IIIT Delhi, your son gains significant admission advantages. Given the UP home state quota and limited IIT prospects with current JEE Advanced rank, Recommendation: Choose MIT Manipal CS for superior placement consistency, established industry connections, global recognition, and comprehensive technical education, while leveraging Kashmiri Migrant quota as backup for IIIT Delhi CSSS admission through JAC counseling. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Hey, stay relaxed now that your son has gained admission to a good institute, JEC Jabalpur @ IT branch.
Your son has performed well and shown strong effort in JEE Mains. Since JEC has respectable academic standards and is located in your hometown, it’s a good decision to start his B.Tech there instead of taking another drop, especially given the increasing competition each year. Ask him to focus on building strong technical skills, coding, and practical knowledge alongside his academics. Encouraging him to take internships, participate in hackathons, and learn industry-demanded skills like AI, data science, or web development will help him stand out. Also, suggest he join some free and paid IT-related online courses offered by Coursera. With consistent effort, he can aim for good placements or even prepare for GATE, CAT, or higher studies abroad later for better opportunities.

Good luck.
