Hello sir My son got 96.7 percentile in jee main in this base he will get uttarakhand nit eee Mechanical or cse pant nagar He also get vit chennai cse with ai ml In comedk his rank is 1000 we are confused what should we do Our go for drop

Ans: Based on comprehensive analysis of your son's 96.7 percentile in JEE Main 2025, which corresponds to an expected rank of approximately 49,500, the current college options present distinct advantages over taking a drop year. NIT Uttarakhand's EEE and Mechanical Engineering branches demonstrate strong placement performance with 72.22% and 90.91% placement rates respectively, while CSE at NIT Uttarakhand achieved 84.21% placements with highest packages reaching ?20.6 LPA. However, with rank 49,500, CSE admission remains unlikely as NIT Uttarakhand's CSE cutoff typically closes around 24,340-30,609 for general category. VIT Chennai CSE with AI/ML offers excellent prospects with 93% placement rates, 3,160 total offers in 2025, and 936 super-dream offers above ?10 LPA. COMEDK rank 1000 provides outstanding opportunities, placing within top 1% and virtually guaranteeing CSE admission at premier colleges like RVCE (CSE cutoff: 750), BMSCE, or MSRIT. Drop year statistics show only 30.1% JEE Advanced qualification rate and 40-45% of IIT entrants being droppers, indicating significant uncertainty. Recommendation: Secure COMEDK CSE admission at top Karnataka colleges (RVCE/BMSCE) with rank 1000, which offers superior placement prospects and institutional reputation compared to drop year risks and current NIT options. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Respected Sir, My son had scored around 93.5 percentile in JEE Mains & 196 in BITSAT in 1st attempt although appearing in June attemt too. He was not with full gear or in full form during preparation as only managed to cover course @85-90% syllabus & unable to with mock tests & PYQ or any sincere preparation since Feb'24. He scored 86.75% in CISCE & is now appearing in improvement examination around 1st/2nd week of this July, hopefully will bring it to around 95%. He is willing to & all set for preparation during drop year for admission in top 5/7 IIT'S MBDKK/GH or BITSAT for PGH. What is your sincere advise for this or drop year to him & for his preparation. Should he look in to other institution or courses as is only interested for CSE, M&C, ECE with AI, ML, DS, Cyber etc. only. He got ECE with AI&ML @ VIT,Villore Campus & CS with AI from Scaler School of Technology Bangalore. Both offers may end in couple of days although filled forms for CMI, IISER, NISER, NFSU-Cyber Security, ICSI Jadhavpur but unappeared in CMI & IISER & appeared for COMEDK & MAH-CET for now as results awaited & coming on 7th or a week time. Your Blessings RediffGurus. We extremely require your very sincere advise may proof tobe career journey to our son's future. Thanks & Regards
Ans: Hello Sir
if your son has scored this without any prep then he must be having a sharp mind. I don't know why board improvement? His score is decent.
Regarding drop, if he is confident that he can crack JEE-ADV with good rank & get a 99 %ile in mains then it is worth a try.

Sir, I have applied for TNEA and got my ex servicemen quota rank is 677,and community rank 29608 also for IAT with 40,000 general rank and 11000 category rank also applied for amrita and got 18338 rank,which can I prefer for college and in engineering counselling, TNEA and amrita will I get cse
Ans: Garena, With an ex-servicemen quota rank of 677 in TNEA, you have moderate prospects for CSE in self-financing colleges, as Tamil Nadu allocates 150 total ex-servicemen seats across university departments, government, and self-financing institutions with separate counselling conducted before general rounds. Your IAT general rank of 40,000 and category rank of 11,000 unfortunately fall well beyond IISER admission thresholds, which typically close below 1,000 for most categories. Your AEEE rank of 18,338 may secure admission to Amrita campuses in Bengaluru, Chennai, Amritapuri, or Amaravati for branches like ECE, ME, or emerging technologies, though CSE at top campuses like Coimbatore remains challenging. Essential institutional strengths across these options include NAAC A+/A++ accreditation, research-active PhD faculty, modern computing and specialized laboratories, robust industry MoUs and internship programs, and consistent 70-90% placement rates in engineering disciplines.

Recommendation: Prioritize TNEA ex-servicemen quota counselling for CSE opportunities in self-financing colleges with your rank 677, as this offers the best CSE admission prospect; participate in AEEE counselling targeting Bengaluru/Chennai campuses for ECE or emerging tech branches; avoid IAT due to inadequate ranking for IISER admission. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

I got an seat in SRM KTR main campus for btech in CSE core but the fees is around 4.75 lakhs per year is there best to join and any help about the placement for CSE core or should I look into some other college any guidance will be helpful thank in advance.
Ans: SRM Kattankulathur (KTR) CSE is NAAC A++ and NIRF 13th-ranked, with a ?4–4.75 lakh annual fee. CSE placements are strong: 80%+ students placed, 1,300+ recruiters, and over 5,500 offers in 2024, with top companies like Microsoft, Amazon, TCS, and Infosys. The curriculum is industry-oriented, faculty are research-active, and the campus features modern computing labs and robust alumni support. However, the fee is significantly higher than many comparable private colleges. If cost is not an issue, SRM KTR’s CSE remains a top private option, but for value, you may consider alternatives like RV College of Engineering, MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology, or Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering in Bangalore, where fees are lower (?1–2 lakh/year), placements are similarly strong (75–95%), and industry exposure is high. VIT Vellore is also a premier alternative, consistently ranked higher, with a similar or better placement record and slightly lower fees.

Recommendation: Join SRM KTR CSE if you seek a top-ranked, industry-focused, and placement-strong private university and cost is not a concern; otherwise, consider RVCE, MSRIT, or VIT Vellore for comparable placements, lower fees, and strong industry reputation. Avoid lesser-known private colleges for better long-term value. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Relationship
I'm 18 and I broke up with my bf months ago.. It took me a lot of time to realise it was a toxic relationship but I still don't think I have completely moved on. Like basically it began after I showed a little interest in him,and then he proposed and I said yes. I didn't know much about him then. I'm a good student and always excelled academically and he initially appreciated that..he was really a insecure guy and I tried to comfort him but then things got bad he began to feel off and I started developing feelings for another guy so I broke up with him. And till now he tells his friends I played with him.. I never got into any relationship after him though that guy ( the second one) proposed ( I realised he never respected me either) and he (my ex) accuses me of cheating...i dealt with all these things while giving my boards..after 6-7 months of my breakup.. results were announced..I topped my school. Then I messaged my ex in a friendly way and he seemed to be really jealous and like.. spoke like he couldn't stand my status..he still gives status claiming that he loves me and I left him because he is not as good as me ....what do I do..even my friends told all of this is my fault since I kinda started it and I admit I was not a very good gf either...what do I do..I still get flashbacks of his hurting words and maybe like I'm more concerned about how to get my image back in school after dating him..or what others are thinking
Ans: Dear Ishani,
If you thought he wasn’t good for you, and things were off, you must have had good reasons for thinking so; you are too young to understand love. People usually mistake infatuation for love. If you think you were right to make that choice, stick to it. Do not let others tell you what is right or wrong. There’s always two sides to every story. Focus on your studies; build your career. All these will be long forgotten. What others are thinking should never be your concern when you have not done anything wrong.
Best of luck for your future.
