I am 45 year's old high school physics teacher with M.Sc in Physics and having M.Tech degree in safety, also having 18yrs teaching and four year of industry experience, now if I complete online B.Sc in AI and DS from IIT Guwahati, and try to do research in AI or quantum computing ,can I switch over in this age or I can get research opportunities

Ans: Frankly speaking research work means pursuing Ph.D or joining some company of AI, ML and DS in their R&D division. Along with job Ph.D you can't do, but certainly after the certificate course of IIT Guwahati you will have access to the R&D of the companies who deal with DS, AI and ML. Only your huge teaching experience is a negative factor. Still I would suggest you to go for the certificate course and try for R&D job. Best of Luck. MAY GOD BLESS YOU.

Sir, my son got 2300 category rank (OBC NCL) and home state is UP. He is interested in CS and IT related branches only. Pls suggest best options and may pls also suggest that which option will be better in IIIT Alahabad- IT and MNNIT-Allahabad-CSE

Ans: Ashok Sir, Prefer IIIT Allahabad IT slightly over MNNIT Allahabad CSE if he wants pure coding/IT culture and top tech placements; IIIT-A’s official placement page shows strong IT-focused outcomes.

My son got 91% in 12th and 98.49% in JEE Mains with CRL 23918, he is intt in CSE, pls help to find NIT and IIT.

Ans: ou have not mentioned your son's home state. For CSE in top NITs, chances are low. He may have better chances for CSE/IT/ECE in newer IIITs such as IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Kottayam, IIIT Dharwad, IIIT Una, IIIT Senapati/Manipur, IIIT Kurnool, depending on category and round movement. In NITs, he should also fill ECE/EE/Mathematics & Computing/AI-related lower options if available, not only CSE. Additionally, reviewing JoSAA opening and closing ranks from the past 2–3 years will provide valuable insights and help your son confidently select and fill his preferred & maximum number of choices. It is also advisable to participate in CSAB round because vacant seats can move & also to have 3-4 backup options of reputed Private Engineering Colleges in and around your home state.

Career

As i scored 85.5 percentile in jee mains 2026 and 78k rank obc ncl and i am from up which college should i prefer for cse and i am thinking mmmut gorakhpur as a option tell me more for cse

Ans: Aryan, With 85.5 percentile and OBC-NCL rank 78,000, CSE through NIT/IIIT is not realistic, so focusing on MMMUT Gorakhpur and UP/private options is sensible. For MMMUT, check counselling carefully. Recent data shows even ECE/IoT closing around the 70k–80k range in early rounds, so CSE at your rank may be difficult, but lower branches or later rounds may be possible; still, you can try for CSE. MMMUT CSE is respected in eastern UP, with decent coding culture and a government-fee advantage with good placement records. It is advisable to have the following as backups KIET, AKGEC, JSS Noida, GL Bajaj, Galgotias, NIET, ABES, IILM, Bennett, Sharda for CSE. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Career

My AI rank 233100, SC rank 13050, can I get NIT /IIIT, my home state WEST BENGAL

Ans: Moni, Based on your score, for NIT Durgapur, earlier SC home-state lower branches generally closed around a 5,000–8,000 SC rank, so your SC 13,050 is not safe for regular JoSAA rounds. Still, you can fill your preferred choices along with NIT Durgapur lower branches, NIT Agartala, Mizoram, Nagaland, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, and GFTIs. IIIT CSE/IT is unlikely, but try lower/newer IIITs in CSAB Special Rounds, where vacancies can move. It is advisable to have the backup options of WBJEE counselling, Heritage Institute, IEM, Techno Main Salt Lake, Haldia Institute and/or any other reputed Private Engineering Colleges. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Question by Vinod - Apr 29, 2026Hindi

Career

Nayagam Sir, My son CRL rank 54907 (96.51 Percentile), in JEE 2026. Open category, HS TN. No branch preference. Please suggest good NIT/IIIT or alternative private colleges. Is it advisable to wait till CSAB counselling?

Ans: Vinod Sir, With a CRL of 54,907 in the Open category and Tamil Nadu home-state quota, NIT Trichy is unlikely through JoSAA. Even lower-demand home-state branches such as Civil, Metallurgy, and Production have usually closed much earlier in recent rounds. For reference, in NIT Trichy 2025, HS Open CSE closed around 4,463, and Civil/Metallurgy/Production were also well below 54,907.

More realistic JoSAA/CSAB targets would be NIT Puducherry, NIT Andhra Pradesh, NIT Meghalaya, NIT Manipur, NIT Mizoram, NIT Nagaland, and NIT Arunachal Pradesh for branches like Civil, Mechanical, Chemical, EEE, or Production. A few GFTIs and newer IIITs may also be possible, but CSE/IT will be difficult at this rank.

Yes, it is better to wait for and participate in CSAB, but do not rely on it alone. Your son can also participate in TNEA counselling, but getting into reputed colleges may be difficult, especially if your son is from a non-Tamil Nadu school board (CBSE/ICSE/IB) and has lower cutoff marks. It is highly advisable to keep strong backup options in private colleges such as SSN, SASTRA, Amrita, VIT, SRM, Shiv Nadar Chennai, Sathyabama, and Saveetha.

Career

Sir I got 98.76 percentile in jee mains,crl19,800 and obc rank 5225 home state telangana can I get mechanical engineering at nit Warangal

Ans: Bhanu, Yes, NIT Warangal Mechanical is possible, but not fully guaranteed. Still, you must fill this choice. With Telangana home-state quota, you have a good chance in the later JoSAA rounds and an even better chance through CSAB if seats remain. Still, fill choices carefully and keep strong backups such as NIT Andhra Pradesh, Raipur, Patna, Jalandhar, Hamirpur, Silchar, Durgapur, Bhopal, and Goa for Mechanical, Chemical, or Metallurgy.

Also keep IIITs, GFTIs, and TS EAMCET colleges as safety options. Additionally, reviewing JoSAA opening and closing ranks from the past 2–3 years will provide you valuable insights and help you confidently select and fill your preferred & maximum number of choices.

Question by Sona - Apr 28, 2026Hindi

Career

Sir my brother score 97.39 percentile in jee mains with 41120 rank Home state is delhi and general male category can he get ece or cse

Ans: Sona, With a CRL of 41,120, General male category, and Delhi home state, admission to NIT Delhi for CSE is unlikely, and ECE is also difficult in early JoSAA rounds. Recent closing ranks at NIT Delhi for CSE and ECE have been significantly better—2023 HS ECE closed around 21,529, with Mechanical and Civil closing even lower. Nonetheless, it’s worth filling these choices too. For CSE, chances improve in newer IIITs during later JoSAA or CSAB rounds, such as IIIT Manipur, IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Dharwad, IIIT Kurnool, and IIIT Bhagalpur. For ECE, consider IIIT Una, IIIT Kottayam, IIIT Bhopal, and other newer IIITs depending on round-wise seat movement. Backup options include participating in JAC Delhi counseling, applying to IPU Delhi colleges like MAIT, MSIT, BVCOE, and BPIT, considering lower-preference branches at DTU and NSUT, and keeping CSAB Special Rounds as an option. Additionally, reviewing JoSAA/JAC-Delhi/IPU's opening and closing ranks from the past 2–3 years will provide valuable insights and help your brother confidently select and fill his preferred & maximum number of choices. All the BEST for Your Brother's Prosperous Future!

Career

Hi sir my daughter got 99.2 percentile in jee mains .pls suggest nit college

Ans: Kameswari Madam, you have not mentioned your daughter's home state. At a 99.2 percentile, your daughter’s expected CRL rank may be around 12,000–14,000, though final options will depend on her exact rank, category, and home state. For NITs, she should target institutes such as NIT Rourkela, Calicut, Durgapur, Kurukshetra, Jaipur, Allahabad, Bhopal, Jamshedpur, Surat, Nagpur, Goa, Hamirpur, and Jalandhar. For CSE, chances are generally better in mid- to lower-tier NITs and some IIITs, while for ECE, EE, and Mechanical branches, admission chances improve in stronger NITs. Admission to top NITs like Trichy, Surathkal, or Warangal for CSE may be difficult unless her exact CRL rank is significantly better; still, she can fill these choices too. She should also fill choices in IIITs for CSE/IT, GFTIs, and keep options open for CSAB special rounds. Additionally, applying to state counseling and private institutions is recommended as a safety option. Additionally, reviewing JoSAA opening and closing ranks from the past 2–3 years will provide valuable insights and help your daughter confidently select and fill her preferred & maximum number of choices. All the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!
