Hello Sir. Which is better ? VIT vellore EEE category 2, RVCE Mechanical through KCET or PES through KCET rank 4514 and Comedk rank 1181 A little concerned for VIT due to being overly crowded. We are flexible for Engg branches. General category male From Karnataka.

Ans: If the placements of BPharm + MBA is along with their MBA pharma course then NMIMS would be preferred.

Ans: Try for both. Can choose wherever you get a better college. If you feel you cant do both then pick up an option which you like the most - higher pay, faster growth and not secure job (MBA) as compared to safe job with slow growth (banking and govt jobs)

Ans: Can take up the college unless you are sure you will get a much better score and a much better college next year.

Ans: HI sir,
First, you should think of the course instead of institution.

Ans: Hi Radhika madam
Kindly provide the rank details to predict.

Ans: HI
Very difficult to get. But have to check for less competitive course at home state or try at private institutions.

Ans: Mudit, With a 93.225 percentile in JEE Mains and a 9,200 rank in COMEDK, as a general male candidate from Uttar Pradesh, you are unlikely to secure CSE or top branches at NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs through JEE Mains, as cutoffs for these are typically higher; however, you can target state-level engineering colleges in UP and reputable private colleges that accept JEE Main scores, where core branches like Mechanical, Civil, or Electrical may be available. In COMEDK, your rank positions you for admission to mid-tier Karnataka colleges for branches other than CSE, as top colleges like RVCE, BMSCE, and MSRIT close CSE admissions well below 5,000, but you may get core or IT-related branches in colleges like Nitte Meenakshi, CMRIT, or DSCE. The recommendation is to participate in both JEE Main and COMEDK counseling, prioritize state-level and private colleges for better branches, and keep realistic expectations regarding CSE, focusing on core or allied branches for the best college options. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Radha, With 30 marks in the IISER IAT 2025 under the ST category, your chances of securing admission to any IISER are extremely low, as the expected cutoff for ST candidates across all IISERs ranges from 55 to 85 marks, with the lowest cutoffs at IISER Tirupati and Berhampur still around 55–65 marks. Recent years’ data and expert analyses confirm that even the least competitive IISERs have not admitted ST candidates with scores as low as 30, and the rising competition in 2025 is likely to push cutoffs higher. The recommendation is to explore alternative institutes or consider preparing for a higher score next year, as admission to IISER with 30 marks in the ST category is not feasible. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
