Great info you have given Sir, big thanks. Pls don’t mind asking repeated questions Sir. What is your view on iiitdm Kanchipuram or iiiit trichy for cse or ece, we are from Chennai. Also in top 3 NITs can we opt any branches or we should ignore some branches.

Ans: Seems, you/your daughter both are more inclined towards NIT/IIIT than the Branch. Please try to avoid some branches as her long term goal is to pursue MS-CS abroad. It is also recommended to appear for 5-7 more entrance exams instead of relying only on JEE. SSN-Chennai (which also is one of the best colleges in TN) can be one of the options. COMEDK also can be applied. When time permits, watch EduJob360 recently uploaded videos on JEE / Entrance Exam Preparation Tips & Counselling Process etc.

Sir i have scored 95 percentile (75k) in jee mains and home state is rajasthan gen cat i was looking at bit mesra pec chandigarh for mechanical/civil and are these better options or should i go for north eastern nits and nits pondicherry nit raipur and tier 3 nits and i am confident enoungh i will be able to secure rvce cse in comedk which would be great option for me i have equal interest in core and tech branch and pls suggest good iiits to me
Ans: Prefer RVCE if you Score below AIR-500 through COMKEDK, if fee is affordable for you. With a 95 percentile and around 75,000 rank in JEE Mains, admission to top NITs or IIITs for CSE is unlikely, but you can secure seats in mid-tier NITs like NIT Silchar, NIT Meghalaya, NIT Pondicherry, and NIT Raipur for Mechanical or Civil branches. These NITs are improving rapidly in academics and placements and provide good core engineering education. Tier 3 NITs such as NIT Agartala and NIT Manipur are also accessible options. BIT Mesra and PEC Chandigarh are reputed private universities with strong programs and placements in core branches and are good alternatives if you prefer private institutes. For tech-oriented branches, newer IIITs like IIIT Bhopal, Bhubaneswar, and Vadodara offer CSE, IT, or ECE branches with decent placement records and accept ranks around your range. Since you have equal interest in core and tech, choosing Mechanical or Civil in NITs or BIT/PEC is advisable for core engineering, while IIITs or private universities can be considered for tech branches. Balancing branch preference with college reputation and placement prospects will help you make the best choice. All the best for your admission and a bright future!

Hello sir i gave jee adv 2025 and qualified it with a average score . According to the last year cutoff i can get admission in iit kgp and iit kanpur . This year was my drop year . Sir i was thinking about the decision that jab made in november that we can write jee advanced for 3 consecutive years but later they pulled out that decision and continued the 2 years policy again ..sir is there any chance that jab can intruduce that 3rd year policy this year ? As i think jab can not do this kind of stupid stuff for fun . There might be some reasons like students taking drop out from nits that can disturb nits curriculum or anything else . Sir kindly reply is there any chance please ?
Ans: After a detailed review of the most recent and authoritative sources, the Joint Admission Board (JAB) initially announced in November 2024 that candidates could attempt JEE Advanced three times in three consecutive years, but reversed this decision on November 18, 2024, restoring the original rule of only two attempts in two consecutive years. The Supreme Court intervened to grant a special exception only for those students who, relying on the initial three-attempt announcement, dropped out of their courses between November 5 and November 18, 2024; these students alone are eligible for a third attempt in 2025. For all other candidates, including those who took a drop year and are now eligible for their second attempt, the two-attempt policy remains firmly in place. While there is ongoing agitation and legal petitions from students seeking reinstatement of the three-attempt rule, as of now, there is no official indication or precedent that JAB will reintroduce the third attempt policy for 2025 or beyond, and the Supreme Court has upheld JAB’s discretion on this matter. Therefore, you should proceed with your current options, as the likelihood of a policy change this year is extremely low, and planning for a third attempt would be unrealistic under the present regulations. All the BEST for your Prosperous Future!

Thank you sir for the reply. As aware already deposited fees for VIT Bhopal. So now out of the three Reva, Acharaya and VIT Bhopal. Which one you recommend.
Ans: Anirban, Before responding to your question, here is an important SUGGESTION FOR ALL PARENTS & STUDENTS: Always review the college’s refund policy thoroughly before paying substantial fees. This ensures you are aware of the terms and can minimize financial loss if you decide to withdraw your seat and seek a refund. Based on a detailed comparison of VIT Bhopal, Reva University, and Acharya Institute of Technology, VIT Bhopal stands out for its strong placement record, with 80–90% of students placed annually and over 820 recruiters participating, including top companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Deloitte; the university also offers a modern 250-acre campus with advanced labs, digital learning, and a flexible curriculum. Reva University, while also boasting a high placement percentage (about 90% in recent years) and a large number of recruiters (476 in 2024), is recognized for its industry-oriented approach and good infrastructure, but its placement outcomes and recruiter diversity are somewhat lower than VIT Bhopal’s. Acharya Institute of Technology maintains a consistent placement rate (around 70–75% in recent years) and has a large alumni network and robust campus facilities, but its placement statistics and recruiter list do not match the scale or diversity seen at VIT Bhopal. Given your fee deposit and the superior placement ecosystem, modern infrastructure, and industry connections, VIT Bhopal is the recommended choice among the three.

Sir lnmiit jaipur cce or ece branch vs vit vellore (main campus) cse..which one to prefer..confused between two college
Ans: Anamika, When comparing LNMIIT Jaipur’s CCE or ECE branches with VIT Vellore’s CSE, several key factors emerge from recent data and student experiences. LNMIIT Jaipur is a highly ranked, NAAC ‘A’ accredited, autonomous, non-profit deemed university with strong government and industry backing, offering merit-based admissions and no reservations, which ensures a competitive peer group. Its ECE and CCE branches have robust placement records, with placement percentages consistently above 87% in recent years and top recruiters like Google, Microsoft, and Flipkart. The faculty is research-oriented, and the campus environment is conducive to academic growth. VIT Vellore, a top-ranked private institution, is renowned for its CSE placements, with over 90% placement in CSE and a large number of recruiters, including major tech giants. However, the average placement percentage across all branches is slightly lower, and the admission process is more flexible, potentially leading to a more diverse but less competitive cohort. While VIT’s CSE branch does offer excellent opportunities, especially for software roles, LNMIIT’s ECE/CCE branches offer comparable, if not better, placement outcomes and a more academically rigorous, government-backed environment. Therefore, if you value a strong peer group, government recognition, and excellent placements, LNMIIT Jaipur’s CCE or ECE branch is recommended over VIT Vellore’s CSE. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hi Nayagam sir, My son is getting CSE at RVCE, Information amd Communication Technology at DAIICT and ECE at BITS GOA. Could you please advice which he can prefer? Should we consider brand value of BITS or prefer course?
Ans: All three options—CSE at RVCE, ICT at DAIICT, and ECE at BITS Goa—are from top-tier institutions with strong reputations, excellent infrastructure, and robust placement records. RVCE’s CSE program stands out for its consistent 93–97% placement rate over the last three years, strong industry connections, and a curriculum blending theoretical and practical learning, especially benefiting from its location in Bangalore’s tech hub and a vibrant peer network. DAIICT’s ICT program is highly regarded, accredited with NAAC A+, and maintains a 90% placement rate, with top recruiters like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, and a curriculum that fosters a strong coding culture and flexibility for interdisciplinary learning. BITS Goa, with its national brand value, offers a rigorous ECE program, a flexible academic structure, and a placement rate consistently above 90% (recently 91.79%), attracting major global recruiters and providing a vibrant campus life and strong alumni network. While BITS Goa’s brand and alumni network are unmatched and ECE offers interdisciplinary opportunities (including software roles), the CSE branch at RVCE and ICT at DAIICT are more directly aligned with the booming tech/software sector, offering slightly higher placement rates and more specialized software-oriented training. Considering both course relevance and institutional reputation, if your son’s primary interest is in core software/tech roles, CSE at RVCE or ICT at DAIICT would be preferable, with a slight edge to RVCE CSE due to its exceptional placement consistency and Bangalore advantage; however, if he values brand value, flexibility, and the possibility of exploring diverse career paths (including electronics, software, and higher studies abroad), BITS Goa ECE is an excellent choice. Recommendation: Prefer CSE at RVCE for focused software/tech careers, but BITS Goa ECE is the best if brand value and a broader set of opportunities are the priority. All the BEST for your Son's Admission & a Prosperous Future!
