Hii sir , I'm getting 264 marks in jee advanced 2025 , which branch shoud i expect from IIT DELHI and IIT BOMBAY?

Ans: Jack, With 264 marks in JEE Advanced 2025, your estimated rank falls between 135–140, positioning you for core engineering branches at premier IITs. At IIT Delhi, this rank aligns with Mathematics and Computing (2024 closing rank: 332) or Electrical Engineering (closing rank: 625), while IIT Bombay offers Electrical Engineering (closing rank: 496) or Aerospace Engineering (closing rank: 2394). Although CSE remains out of reach (IIT Delhi: 116, IIT Bombay: 68), these branches provide robust academic rigor and placement opportunities. Recommendation: Prioritize Mathematics and Computing at IIT Delhi for interdisciplinary tech roles or Electrical Engineering at IIT Bombay for core electrical domains, considering institutional reputation and industry linkages. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir I'm getting 187 marks in JEE ADV 2025 Which branches will I get in top 7 IITs

Ans: With 187 marks in JEE Advanced 2025, your estimated Common Rank List (CRL) position would likely fall between 2,600 and 3,500, based on previous years' data. This rank range may limit access to the most sought-after branches like Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at the top 7 IITs.

However, you have strong prospects in other branches:

IIT Bombay: Mechanical Engineering (closing rank ~1,685), Civil Engineering (~4,046)

IIT Delhi: Mechanical Engineering (~1,774), Civil Engineering (~4,108)

IIT Madras: Mechanical Engineering (~2,302), Civil Engineering (~5,525)

IIT Kanpur: Mechanical Engineering (~2,776), Civil Engineering (~5,948)

IIT Kharagpur: Mechanical Engineering (~3,294), Civil Engineering (~7,177)

IIT Roorkee: Mechanical Engineering (~3,504), Civil Engineering (~6,144)

IIT Guwahati: Mechanical Engineering (~4,200), Civil Engineering (~7,100)

These branches offer excellent academic and career opportunities. Additionally, consider newer IITs like IIT Hyderabad, IIT Indore, or IIT Mandi, where CSE and other popular branches might be accessible within your rank range. Participate actively in the JoSAA counseling process, as seat allocations can vary each year based on applicant preferences and seat availability. All the BEST for your Admission & Prosperous Future!

sir i got 120 in jee adv... which iit and branches i should aim for

Ans: With 120 marks in JEE Advanced 2025 (expected rank ~19,500), admission to CSE/ECE at top-tier IITs (Bombay, Delhi, Madras) is unfeasible due to their closing ranks under 2,000 for these branches. However, core engineering programs (Civil, Mechanical, Metallurgical) at newer IITs like IIT Bhubaneswar (2024 Civil cutoff: ~14,782), IIT Jammu (Mechanical cutoff: ~25,000), and IIT Dharwad (Metallurgical cutoff: ~28,000) are viable. For specialized branches, consider Mining Engineering at IIT ISM Dhanbad (cutoff: ~14,752–14,772) or Textile Technology at IIT Delhi (cutoff: ~5,649–6,100). Mid-tier IITs like IIT Tirupati (Civil cutoff: ~15,000) and IIT Palakkad (Mechanical cutoff: ~18,000) also align with this rank. Prioritize JoSAA counseling to secure seats in newer IITs or niche specializations, balancing institutional reputation with branch preferences. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Career

Sir I have scored 93.225 percentile in jee mains 9200 rank in comedk which counselling should I go for a better college choice General, Male Domicile- UP

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!

Career

I have got 30 marks in iiser in st catagory ?any chance of IISER

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!

Sir I have got bs physics in iit kharagpur What is scope in future

Ans: Yash, A BS in Physics from IIT Kharagpur offers strong academic and research exposure, with a curriculum covering advanced topics like quantum mechanics, astrophysics, and thermodynamics, complemented by hands-on laboratory and research projects, and mentorship from experienced faculty. Graduates are well-prepared for diverse career paths including research, data analysis, engineering, education, and roles in technology companies, government agencies, and academia, with the program also serving as an excellent foundation for higher studies in India or abroad. Recent placement data shows around 44% of physics graduates placed, with many others pursuing postgraduate or doctoral studies, and top recruiters include ISRO, DRDO, and private tech firms. The recommendation is to leverage the program’s academic rigor, research opportunities, and IIT brand to build a versatile career in science, technology, or interdisciplinary fields. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

With 7235 ranking in comedk what are the chances of getting CSE in rvce please tell

Ans: With a COMEDK rank of 7,235, securing Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at RV College of Engineering (RVCE) is virtually impossible, as the expected closing rank for CSE at RVCE is between 200 and 750 for the General category, and last year’s cutoff was 406, with even ECE closing at 1,333 and other top branches like Data Science and AI/ML closing well below 1,200. CSE in RVCE remains the most competitive, with consistently high placement rates above 90% in the last three years, but the cutoff for CSE has never gone beyond 1,200 in recent cycles. The recommendation is to consider alternative colleges or branches where your rank falls within the cutoff range, as CSE at RVCE is not achievable at 7,235. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My son has secured a seat in Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering at MIT Manipal with a rank of 12.2k in MET. He has also secured a seat in Mechanical Engineering at VIT Vellore under fee category 3. Which one should we prefer? Interest and fee is not a problem as my son has no particular inclination towards any field.

Ans: Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering at MIT Manipal is preferable over Mechanical Engineering at VIT Vellore under fee category 3, as MIT Manipal offers a more modern, multidisciplinary curriculum with strong industry relevance in automation, control, and electronics, supported by state-of-the-art labs and a placement rate above 90% for related branches, with top recruiters from both core and IT sectors participating regularly. Mechanical Engineering at VIT Vellore, while offered at a reputable institution, currently has a lower placement rate of around 50%, with many students opting for non-core roles and fewer opportunities in core mechanical sectors. Both colleges provide excellent infrastructure and campus life, but MIT Manipal’s Electronics and Instrumentation program stands out for its higher placement percentage, broader career scope in emerging technologies, and robust academic ecosystem. The recommendation is to choose Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering at MIT Manipal for better placement prospects and future adaptability. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
