My 12th Grader Scored 81% in Boards & 85% in JEE Main. Is Mechanical Engineering a Good Choice?

Ans: Sahil, With a JEE Main rank of 36,955 and JEE Advanced rank of 21,586, securing core branches in mid-tier NITs (e.g., NIT Durgapur ECE cutoff ~11,300–17,200 via JEE Main) or lower-tier IITs (e.g., IIT Bhilai Metallurgy cutoff ~21,000–25,000 via JEE Advanced) is feasible. Prioritize ECE/Mechanical at NITs like Jalandhar, Silchar, or Patna (2024 cutoffs: ~28,000–40,000) for better placement prospects (70–90% placements in tech roles). In IITs, consider Metallurgical, Civil, or Textile Engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar, IIT Mandi, or IIT Goa (2024 cutoffs: ~18,000–25,000), which offer institutional prestige but require upskilling for software roles. For tech-focused pathways, opt for IIITs like Jabalpur/Una (CSE/IT cutoffs ~35,000–50,000) via JEE Main. Balance choices with higher NIT branches (e.g., Production, Chemical) and lower IIT core branches, ensuring a mix of college reputation and branch relevance. Confirm cutoffs during JoSAA counselling rounds for optimal seat allocation. All the BEST for your Brother's Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: With an SC rank of 3,800 in JEE Advanced, securing core branches like Civil, Mechanical, or Chemical Engineering at newer IITs is feasible. For instance, IIT Bhilai (Civil cutoff: ~2,609), IIT Goa (Mechanical cutoff: ~2,427), and IIT Jammu (Chemical cutoff: ~2,971) had lower SC cutoffs in 2024. While CSE at top IITs is unlikely (cutoffs: ~50–1,295), niche branches like Metallurgical Engineering (IIT BHU: ~7,680) or Textile Technology (IIT Delhi: ~9,910) may be accessible in later counselling rounds. Prioritize IIT Bhubaneswar (Civil/Mechanical) or IIT Tirupati (Engineering Physics) for institutional reputation and 70–85% placements in core sectors. If IIT seats are unavailable, explore NITs/IIITs via JoSAA (e.g., NIT Trichy Civil: ~2,293) or state colleges like Jadavpur University via regional quotas. Confirm branch-specific cutoffs during counselling for optimal choices. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Hi
There is a fair chance this year.

Ans: Hi
there are fair chances of getting into behrampur.

Ans: Hello Suvam
go with Mech

Ans: Aditya, With a score of 92 in IAT (General category), you fall below the expected 2025 cutoff for IISER Berhampur (105–110 marks). While previous years saw lower cutoffs, this year’s marks are likely to rise, making admission unlikely. Monitor counseling rounds for any possible drop in cutoffs. Have some more back-up options instead of relying only on this. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: For a long-term career, Integrated M.Tech Software Engineering at VIT Bhopal (90–95% placements, Amazon/Microsoft recruiters) offers versatile tech opportunities in AI/ML, data science, and software roles, aligning with industry growth and providing flexibility for academia via research or teaching roles post-M.Tech. Marine Engineering at IMU Kolkata (80–90% placements, Chevron/NYK recruiters) is ideal for niche maritime careers but limits diversification outside core shipping sectors. While GFTI lower branches (e.g., Civil/Mechanical) via JoSSA ensure institutional prestige, they may lack alignment with her academic strengths (PCMB) and tech aspirations. For academia, a B.Ed + M.Ed pathway (UGC NET eligibility) offers stable teaching careers but underutilizes her engineering potential. Prioritize VIT Bhopal for tech innovation and interdisciplinary growth, leveraging its coding ecosystems and global collaborations. If inclined toward teaching, pursue M.Tech + Ph.D. post-engineering for lecturer roles. Backup options include MBA for managerial pathways or government technical roles via GATE. Confirm curriculum depth and internship support during enrollment. All the BEST for your Daughter's Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Hello Sanjay
RVCE is a better choice.

Ans: Hi
If you are not strongly inclined towards Physics or research, Mechanical Engineering is a safer and more versatile bet. But if you are academically brilliant and want to enter elite research or tech domains (quant, AI, quantum), Engineering Physics can give you an edge but only if you actively seek opportunities beyond coursework.
