Sir, I had a question regarding placements. I've 3 year gap after 12th as I was preparing for NEET & aiming for a gov mbbs college..but unfortunately couldn't make it. Now I'm planning to switch to Btech in computer science through state entrance exam. Will this 3-year gap after 12th affect my placements in future? Do companies reject candidates solely because of such gaps? Im fully commited to working hard, building strong technical skills and doing internships to gain experience. I just want to understand if this gap will be a major issue during placements oncampus or offcampus & how can I overcome it effectively.

Ans: HI,
There will be an impact while appearing for the recruitment. When forwarding the resume, the recruiter will ask for details about any gaps. While filling out the application, you should mention that you did not have any gaps, but spent the time preparing for competitive exams.
They believe the gap is caused by failure in semester exams.
THIS IS SUFFICIENT.

I have 3 gaps between 12th and btech cse as i was preparing for neet in those gap years. Unfortunately i couldn't crack neet.Will these gaps years affect during on campus placements??

Ans: Hi
Your gap years will not significantly affect your placement prospects as long as you can convincingly present your story and demonstrate that you’ve made the most of your B.Tech journey. Stay focused on building a strong profile, and you’ll have a good chance of landing desirable opportunities. Be Honest & Explain your NEET preparation journey during interviews. Emphasize the hard work, dedication, and discipline involved in preparing for such exams. You were trying for Govt. MBBS seat only.

Build a strong academic record during your B.Tech years to demonstrate your technical competence.
Work on practical skills like programming, software development, and problem-solving through internships, projects, and certifications. Participate in hackathons, coding competitions, or other extracurricular activities to showcase your proactive attitude and create a strong CV.

Will this gap year hampers my mba placements as well?

hello sir my result just came and i got 83 percentile, i belong to st category and i also have delhi quota, my category rank was 4000 so can i get into nit delhi electrical engineering branch in the later rounds of csab counselling

Ans: HI STANZIN,
GREETINGS FROM THE REDIFFGURUS!
Based on the information you provided, it may be challenging to secure admission in Electrical Engineering at NIT Delhi. However, there may be more possibilities for other core branches, such as Mechanical and Civil Engineering. You might have a chance in the later rounds of the counseling process (CSAB). Therefore, I encourage you to actively participate in the counseling process until you achieve your goal.

Ans: HI,
GREETINGS FROM THE REDIFFGURUS!
Based on your rank, it is possible to secure a seat in VSSUT, especially if you belong to the home state and are applying for branches such as Mechanical, Civil, or Metallurgy, even in the earlier rounds. Later on, there may also be opportunities to change branches, potentially even in the second year. Please be patient and actively participate until the counselling process concludes.

hello sir, i got crl 79000 and i have obc ncl,will i have any chance at getting ece at iiitdm kancheepuram

Ans: You have not mentioned your home state. For IIITDM Kancheepuram ECE, your CRL of 79,000 is not the key factor; the OBC-NCL category rank is crucial. In 2024, the ECE OBC-NCL (gender-neutral) closing rank was 11,284, so unless your OBC rank is near this, chances are very low. ALL the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Career

My son scores 92.23 percent in JEE Main 2026 and have 5277 Rank under SC category. Is any scope to get NIT or IIIT and if so then which colleges and branch. Pl tell

Ans: Santosh Sir, With a 92.23 percentile and SC category rank of 5,277, your son has good chances in NITs, select IIITs, and GFTIs, focusing on mid/lower branches in established NITs, core branches in newer NITs, and some IIIT/GFTI options. Home state and branch preference play a key role, with improved chances in CSAB Special Rounds if vacancies remain. Refer to JoSAA’s 2022–2024 opening and closing ranks and CSAB special round cutoffs for an accurate shortlist, and keep 3–4 private engineering colleges as backups. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Question by Pradip - Apr 22, 2026Hindi

Career

Sir XII Board exam 87%. JEE Main 85 Percentile. Home state - West Bengal. Category - OBC NCL Pl suggest which college & branch he can admitted.

Ans: Pradip Sir, with an 85 percentile in the OBC-NCL category from West Bengal Home State, he should definitely register for JoSAA and CSAB Special Rounds. While CSE and ECE in top NITs and IIITs are unlikely at this score, some lower-demand branches may be attainable at IIEST Shibpur and NIT Durgapur. Recent cutoffs indicate that branches like Metallurgy and Mining at IIEST and Civil, Mechanical, and Metallurgy-related branches at NIT Durgapur close at ranks higher than elite branches for OBC candidates. It is also important to keep GFTIs, CSAB vacancies, and WBJEE/private colleges as strong backup options. NIT Durgapur remains a strong academic regional choice. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!
