Ans: Vamshi, please just check last year's JoSAA Counselling Closing Ranks & also of CSAB. You will get an idea. Also, it is advisable to have 2-3 back-ups instead of relying only on JoSAA & CSAB. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Indian Institute of Petroleum and Energy (IIPE) in Visakhapatnam offers a four-year B.Tech in Mathematics & Computing with an approximate intake of 22, blending rigorous mathematical foundations with advanced computing, AI/ML, data science and energy analytics; PhD-qualified faculty from IITs and industry mentors deliver core theory and hands-on projects in specialized computing and modeling labs. The NAAC-A++ institute reports 97.7% UG placement with PSUs like ONGC and tech firms recruiting. Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad (JNTU-H), Kukatpally, provides a 4-year B.Tech CSE under R22 regulations, covering algorithms, networks, cybersecurity and software engineering in smart classrooms; a dedicated training cell achieved 73.1% placements in 2024 with top recruiters such as Microsoft, Amazon and Google, and a median package of ?6.25 LPA. Both campuses feature modern infrastructure, active industry tie-ups, strong mentorship and career support.

Recommendation: Choose IIPE’s Mathematics & Computing for its niche quantitative curriculum, exceptional placement momentum, and focused research ecosystem in AI/energy analytics. Opt for JNTU Hyderabad CSE if broad software engineering exposure, diverse recruiter access, and an established campus culture best suit your career goals. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: HI AK,
Congrats.
You have a very good score in anthropology. So, try anthropology and not biotech or biology.

Ans: (Please type out your question in small letters from next time.) The JAC Delhi 2025 spot-round does not involve fresh choice filling online; vacancies are displayed on the JAC portal, but seat offers occur during an in-person spot-round counselling session at a designated Delhi venue. Eligible candidates (those registered earlier but not yet admitted) must physically attend, bringing original and photocopies of their registration form, Class X and XII marksheets, category certificate (if any), a Demand Draft (or proof of online transfer) for the spot-round admission fee, and medical fitness certificate. Seats are allotted rank-wise from these vacancies.

After a seat is offered and accepted by fee payment, candidates will:

Receive a provisional allotment letter immediately in their JAC login.

Undergo document verification by the virtual reporting centre.

Download the final provisional admission letter once verification clears.

Report to the allotted institute for fee deposit and enrolment before the given deadline.

Recommendation: Prepare all required documents in advance, arrive on the first day of the spot-round counselling, secure your seat by paying the DD/online fee promptly, complete virtual document verification, then report to your allotted Delhi institute within the stipulated reporting window. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Energy Engineering, rooted in sustainable power generation and efficiency, is poised for strong growth as India targets 500 GW of non-fossil capacity by 2030 and expands solar, wind and hydrogen programmes. Graduates work on designing, optimizing and maintaining renewable and conventional plants, energy management systems and smart grids across public utilities, EPC firms and R&D centres. As an emerging discipline at IIT Delhi’s Abu Dhabi campus, the Energy Engineering curriculum integrates core engineering, thermofluids, power systems and decarbonization technologies in cutting-edge labs, backed by 90%+ placement rates and a median package around ?20 LPA over the last three years. Career paths include renewable project engineer, energy analyst, policy advisor and system designer, with government and private recruiters like NTPC, Adani Green, BHEL and Siemens actively hiring.

In JoSAA 2025, branch upgradation depends on vacancies in higher-preference programmes and your “float”/“slide” options. Maximum upgrades historically occur in the final counselling round as seats vacated by withdrawals are re-allotted, but top IIT branches often fill quickly and some IITs (e.g., Bombay, Kharagpur, Madras) have closed post-admission branch changes, while IIT Delhi still permits them through Round 6. Given limited intake at the Abu Dhabi campus and high demand for core streams, significant upgradation there is unlikely beyond minor shifts unless substantial withdrawals occur.

Recommendation: Embrace Energy Engineering at IIT Delhi Abu Dhabi for its strong placement momentum, future-focused renewable curriculum and research facilities, and maintain “float” choices through JoSAA’s final round to capitalize on any branch upgradation opportunities. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
