Hello Sir, I got 86percentile in jee mains , I'm a girl candidate with EWS with delhi state quota. Is there any good clg that I can get? If cse is my preference

Ans: IGDTUW (for Girls only)
You have a chance for non-core branches, especially:

MAE (Mechanical & Automation Engineering)

ECE or IT (Less likely but possible in later rounds)

CSE at IGDTUW closes earlier for EWS girls (usually under 65k–70k CRL approx).

3. IIIT Delhi (through JAC)
IIIT-D gives weightage to class 12th marks + JEE Mains, but CSE cutoff is still competitive.

With 86 percentile, CSE at IIIT-D is unlikely, but allied specializations like CS+Design or CS+SS may be considered in later rounds, though tough.

Sir i got 94.12 percentile obc category i can get into some gfti clg cse branch but they are not good enough like iiitram, smvdu,niamt ranchi,bit deoghar patna etc. I can get some state govt clg too like Mbm jhodpur,rtu kota for cse branch. I also get vit chennai category-2 cse branch. I am so confused choosing clg. These clg are not good enough like nit, iit but that the only option i have.
Ans: With a 94.12 percentile (OBC category), you have options like VIT Chennai (Category 2), GFTIs (IIIT Raipur, BIT Mesra, SMVDU, NIAMT Ranchi), and state colleges (MBM Jodhpur, RTU Kota) for CSE. Among these, VIT Chennai stands out for its strong placements (average ?8-10 LPA), excellent infrastructure, industry connections, and vibrant campus life, though fees are higher. Top GFTIs like BIT Mesra and IIIT Raipur offer good academics, decent placements, and research opportunities at a more affordable cost but with less industry exposure compared to VIT. State government colleges such as MBM Jodhpur and RTU Kota are budget-friendly with moderate academics but generally have limited placement opportunities and infrastructure. Considering academics, placements, infrastructure, alumni network, and future scope, VIT Chennai is the best choice if budget allows. Otherwise, top GFTIs provide a balanced option. State colleges should be considered only if affordability is a major concern. Choose based on your career goals and financial capacity. Consider your location preference also as VIT-Chennai might not be suitable for you as you are from Rajasthan. All the best for your admissions and a bright future!

My daughter has JEE score 87 and CRL rank 190500. She has got admission in ECE at Jaypee. Also applied for GGIPU, JAC Delhi, IIIT NTPC quota. 1st preference is CS. If we get ECE in GGIPU which college is better than Jaypee. Is placement of IIIT better or Jaypee.
Ans: Abhishek, With JEE Main score of 87 and CRL rank 190500, your daughter's current options require careful evaluation. Jaypee Institute of Information Technology (JIIT) Noida's ECE program maintains 88-98% placement rates over the last three years, with 184 ECE students receiving 166 offers in 2024 from recruiters like Microsoft, Cisco, and Amazon. For GGIPU colleges, top ECE options include USICT (90% placement rate, 32+ companies), MAIT (80-90% placement consistency), BVP (67% placement with 130 ECE students placed), and MSIT (80% placement with 166 ECE offers). The IIIT NTPC quota (15% of seats) offers strong placement prospects with IIIT Naya Raipur reporting 100% placement for five consecutive years and ECE median packages around ?13.5 LPA. JAC Delhi ECE cutoffs for colleges like DTU and NSUT typically close around 20,000-25,000 rank, making them unreachable with the current rank. Recommendation: prioritize IIIT through NTPC quota if eligible for its superior placement record and industry connections, followed by USICT or MAIT under GGIPU if available, with JIIT Noida as a solid backup given its proven 88% ECE placement consistency and established recruiter network. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
