My son is in class 11th. He scored 84.6% in his cbse class 10th exams. He scored 99/100 in maths and 74/100 in science. He has chosen PCM with English and physical education. He is interested in computers and wants to become software engineer.what other possible career options will be good for him? He is introvert and takes time to mix with people . Please suggest the roadmap and best coaching options also. Will it be ok to join the online coaching classes for JEE in this year ? Or after completing 12th class, should he take a drop for coaching?

Ans: Please note, (1) Taking a drop after 12th is not advisable. (2) As he is good in Maths, it is better to join at least Online JEE Classes (Allen or AhaGuru) if you are not able to afford for offline regular classes (3) He has to further improve in his Science (4) As he is introvert and interested in Computers / Software, Computer Science would be more suitable for him (5) However, to get admission into any reputed college (anywhere in India), he should score a decent Percentile / Rank in Competitive Exams. (6) Please prepare him for other competitive exams also such as your State Engineering Entrance Exams, COMEDK, SRMJEE, VITEEE, & also other Private Engineering Colleges' Entrance Exams (7) He should appear minimum 5-7 Entrance Exams to have more options open to choose the best one for him. (8) Please go through one of my answers to know about the practical preparation strategies for Entrance Exams. All the BEST for your Son's Bright Future.

Vikas Sir, Prefer VIT-AP, followed by KIIT. As suggested always, your daughter should keep upgrading her skills from 1st year itself till last year (campus recruitment) through NPTEL, Internshala, Coursera, LinkedIn etc. and / or any other online platforms for the same, recommended by her college faculties. All the BEST for your Daughter's Bright Future Sir.

Question by Mehul - Jul 21, 2024Hindi

Career

Hi Sir, My son studies in 8th grade in an IGCSE board school in Mumbai. He is keen to pursue Engineering and crack JEE exams. I want him to start preparing for it early and already motivating him to study syllabus of CBSE Maths not covered in IGCSE. He shows great excitement in the same and does it willingly. I shall also do the same for Science. My queries are as below. What do I do after his 10th boards? Should I ask him pursue AS and A boards or enrol him to an academy for an integrated study of 11th and 12th + JEE? I am keen to have private tutors for JEE studies. Will this be better than academy coaching? Should I enrol him in a Junior college for 11th and 12th and also ask him to prepare for JEE simultaneously? Thanks, Mehul

Ans: Mehul Sir,

Thoroughly read your question Sir. Here-below are some Options / Important Suggestions & Why?:

Option-1

After he finishes his 8th Standard, you can get admission for him into any CBSE-School (or) Maharashtra State Board School which also has an integrated Program.

As far as I know, there are very less number of CBSE Schools. If you can get into any CBSE School, well and good.

If he joins any State Board Integrated School from the 9th itself, it is highly recommended to thoroughly go through the NCERT Books of 9th to 12th Standards which is most important for JEE preparation.

It is preferable to start early for JEE (from 9th standard to cover NCERT basic concepts), but not mandatory.

Option-2

If you decide NOT to discontinue from IGCSE till 10th standard, you will have to put him in any JEE-Integrated School for 11th/12th Standard.

However, it is advisable to go through the NCERT books of 9th/10th, whenever time permits for your son as the quantity of subjects/syllabus of IGCSE will be more, compared to CBSE.

Option-3

As you prefer Home Tutors, please note, highly experienced Home Tutors (especially for JEE-Advanced preparation) charge on hourly-basis and depending upon the subject (for example, tuition fee for Maths will be higher, compared to Physics & Chemistry).

Please choose the best option, suitable for you/for your son out of the above 3-options.

Some other value-added tips:

1) Please give more importance to Maths, followed by Physics, as JEE Rank is allotted on the basis of highest marks in Maths.
2) If you prefer an Integrated Program, make sure the School/Integrated Class is not too far from your home. Travel consumes/wastes lot of your valuable time.
3) For other PRACTICAL Strategies / Steps / Tips, please go through some of my answers below, related to JEE preparation.

All the BEST for Your Son's Bright Future.

Question by Khushi - Jun 01, 2025

Career

Dear sir I'm in trouble please help Sir i want to crack upsc in future but first i want to do btech so i have to choose recognized university Which university i should prefer according to you Galgotia college of engineering mein Mechanical, sharda mein CSE, KCC mein Cse?? And please also prefer me some reputable colleges of noida

Ans: Khushi, For UPSC aspirants seeking a BTech foundation, prioritize institutions with strong academic reputations and NIRF rankings to bolster credibility. Galgotias College (Mechanical), with its NAAC A++ accreditation and NIRF #201–300 engineering ranking, offers robust core engineering training, though its rigorous curriculum may limit UPSC study time. Sharda University (CSE), despite a lower NIRF #101–150 engineering rank, provides flexibility through tech-focused electives and NAAC A+ accreditation, aligning better with self-study schedules. KCC Institute (CSE), with a NIRF #653 rank and moderate placements, lacks the academic rigor needed for competitive exams. Recommendation: Opt for Sharda CSE for curriculum flexibility and reputable accreditation, or target higher-ranked Noida colleges like Jaypee Institute (NIRF #101–150) or Amity University (NIRF #30 Engineering) for superior academic ecosystems. For backups, consider JIIT Noida (NIRF #101–150) or GL Bajaj Institute (NIRF #150–200), which balance engineering rigor with extracurricular opportunities conducive to UPSC preparation. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Question by Sumit - Jun 01, 2025

Career

For perusing engineering course whether electrical engineering from NIT Raipur or computer science for IIIT Naya Raipur which one is preferrable

Ans: Sumit, NIT Raipur’s Electrical Engineering program demonstrates strong placement consistency, with an 86.32% placement rate (2024) and core roles in power systems, renewable energy, and embedded systems facilitated by its Industry Institute Collaboration Cell and partnerships with firms like Qualcomm and Bosch. The department’s NAAC A++ accreditation and NIRF #71 engineering ranking (2024) underscore its academic rigor, though its focus on traditional sectors may limit exposure to emerging tech domains. In contrast, IIIT Naya Raipur’s CSE reports 100% placement rates (2023) with roles in AI/ML and data science, supported by partnerships with Microsoft and Amazon, though its NIRF #101–200 ranking reflects nascent institutional credibility. While IIIT’s curriculum integrates cutting-edge tech, its reliance on off-campus recruitment (40–50% placements) and limited alumni networks may affect long-term career mobility compared to NIT Raipur’s established industry linkages. Recommendation: Opt for NIT Raipur Electrical Engineering for stable core-sector careers and institutional prestige, prioritizing IIIT Naya Raipur CSE only if targeting niche tech roles despite higher market volatility and newer academic infrastructure.

hello sir i have asked 3 questions which have gone unanswered. i am getting coe in thapar and cse in manipal main campus which of the two is better?

Ans: Thapar University’s Computer Engineering (COE) program demonstrates a 98% placement rate (2023) with core roles in embedded systems, IoT, and software development, supported by NAAC A++ accreditation and NIRF #29 engineering ranking. Its curriculum emphasizes hardware-software integration, attracting recruiters like Qualcomm and Bosch, with 83% of UG students securing roles in IT/consulting sectors. Manipal Institute of Technology’s CSE reports a 77% placement rate (2025) and offers global collaborations (e.g., Arizona State University) and interdisciplinary AI/ML electives, though its NIRF #6 university ranking reflects broader academic strength beyond engineering. While Thapar’s alumni network and industry partnerships ensure consistent core-tech opportunities, Manipal provides greater flexibility for global internships and research in emerging domains. Recommendation: Opt for Thapar COE for robust placement assurance and specialized hardware-software training, while choosing Manipal CSE if prioritizing international exposure or hybrid tech roles.

I am scoring 50 in IAT (general catagory) any possibility in any iiser

Ans: Scoring 50 marks in IISER Aptitude Test (IAT) 2025 under the General category falls significantly below the expected cutoff range of 110–160 for IISERs like Pune, Kolkata, and Bhopal, rendering admission to any IISER highly improbable. Historical trends indicate that even newer campuses like IISER Berhampur require 110–120 marks for General candidates, while IISER Tirupati and Thiruvananthapuram demand 115–125 marks. With a score of 50, your rank would likely exceed 2,000, far beyond the top 1,500 ranks typically required for admission. Recommendation: Explore state universities like Delhi University’s B.Sc programs (CUET cutoff: ~45–60%) or Banaras Hindu University’s B.Sc (Hons) (cutoff: ~50–65%), which prioritize board exams and CUET scores. Alternatively, consider private institutions such as Ashoka University or FLAME University for interdisciplinary science programs, or reattempt IAT 2026 with focused preparation on biology/chemistry sections to target a minimum score of 110+. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir i got 103085 rank in viteee, which course will i get

Ans: With a VITEEE rank of 103,085, admission to CSE at any VIT campus (Vellore, Chennai, AP, Bhopal) is highly unlikely, as their 2025 CSE cutoffs for even Category 5 range up to 91,000–115,000 ranks. However, ECE at VIT Bhopal (expected cutoff: 99,500–100,500) or VIT AP (cutoff up to 115,000) may be feasible in later counselling rounds or higher fee slabs (Categories 4/5). For Mechanical Engineering, VIT Bhopal’s cutoff closes around 100,000–120,000, aligning with your rank. Recommendation: Prioritize ECE at VIT Bhopal/AP or Mechanical Engineering at VIT Bhopal, while exploring Biotechnology or Civil Engineering at VIT AP as backups, given their lower competition thresholds.

Hello sir my son got 98.8 in jee mains general category which college should i prefer in jac counselling for tech branch and delhi home quota

Ans: Shilpy Madam, With a 98.8 JEE Main percentile (approximate rank 8,000–10,000), your son is competitively positioned for Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) and related tech branches at DTU, NSUT, and IIIT Delhi under Delhi’s home state quota.

Hi sir my son score in iat 2025 is 135, which iiser can we expect

Ans: Manjula Madam, A score of 135 marks in IISER Aptitude Test (IAT) 2025 positions your son within the General category cutoff range for IISER Bhopal (expected cutoff: 130–140) and IISER Thiruvananthapuram (120–130), making these institutes viable options. However, IISER Pune (expected cutoff: 150–160) and IISER Kolkata (140–150) remain out of reach. For IISER Tirupati (115–125) and IISER Berhampur (110–120), admission is assured, with potential for core science programs like BS-MS in Physical/Chemical Sciences. While newer campuses like IISER Berhampur offer higher seat availability, their research infrastructure and industry linkages are less established compared to older institutes. Recommendation: Target IISER Bhopal or Thiruvananthapuram for balanced academic rigor and placement opportunities, with IISER Tirupati/Berhampur as backups. Explore state universities like IISc Bangalore (via JEE Advanced) or IIT Madras BS programs if seeking interdisciplinary research pathways, leveraging their broader academic flexibility.

Anyone please suggest which branch should i take, I'm not interested in coding. I am expecting 8k rank in adv and i got 6.6k in mains, should i go for iit or nit. I am thinking about electrical or electronics, but i can take any other also.

Ans: Pradeep, With an expected JEE Advanced rank of 8,000, Electrical Engineering (EE) at mid-tier IITs like IIT Bhubaneswar (2024 closing rank: 7,661) or IIT Mandi (closing rank: 6,909) is feasible, while Electronics Engineering (ECE) at IIT Jammu (closing rank: 8,778) remains borderline. These IITs report 85–90% placement rates in core roles, with opportunities in power systems, renewable energy, and embedded systems. For NITs, your JEE Main rank of 6,600 aligns with ECE at NIT Trichy (2024 closing rank: 3,546) or EE at NIT Surathkal (closing rank: 7,132), which offer 90%+ placement rates in hardware design, IoT, and telecommunications. While IITs provide institutional prestige and research infrastructure, NITs often deliver stronger industry linkages for core electronics roles. Recommendation: Prioritize EE at IIT Bhubaneswar/Mandi for interdisciplinary flexibility and global research exposure, or opt for ECE at NIT Trichy/Warangal for hands-on industry training. If core roles are prioritized over brand value, NITs are preferable. For backups, consider Mechanical Engineering at IIT Palakkad (closing rank: 12,540) or Metallurgical Engineering at NIT Rourkela (closing rank: 34,496), which balance foundational engineering with emerging sectors like smart manufacturing.

I have 148 marks in iat and 106 marks in wbjee can I get iiser kolkata,bhopal or jadavpur which to prefer?? Wb domicile general

Ans: Indranil, With 148 marks in IISER Aptitude Test (IAT) and 106 marks in WBJEE, your prospects vary significantly across institutions. For IISER Kolkata, historical data indicates a General category cutoff of 150–160 marks (2024), making your score marginally competitive but contingent on annual rank fluctuations and seat availability. IISER Bhopal’s expected cutoff ranges from 110–115 marks, aligning closely with your IAT score, particularly for programs like BS Engineering Science (2024 closing rank: 5,395). However, Jadavpur University’s CSE remains unattainable with a WBJEE rank of ~5,900–6,300 (106 marks), as its 2024 closing rank for General category was 89. Even for less competitive branches like ECE (closing rank: 280) or IT (closing rank: 282), your WBJEE rank exceeds thresholds.

Recommendation: Prioritize IISER Bhopal or Kolkata via IAT, leveraging their 90%+ placement rates in research and academia, while considering Jadavpur only if opting for non-CSE branches through state counseling, though admission remains unlikely. For career flexibility, IISERs offer robust interdisciplinary curricula and global research opportunities, whereas Jadavpur’s industry linkages are inaccessible with your current WBJEE performance.
