Ans: With a JEE Main rank of 2,38,525 and 91.67% in PCM, your son cannot get CSE in NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs, as CSE cutoffs in these institutes are much higher, typically closing within the top 20,000–40,000 ranks. In Chandigarh, the best chances for CSE are in private universities like Chandigarh University, Chitkara University, or possibly UIET if eligible under state quota. Since he has already been offered Electrical Engineering at TIET (Thapar Institute), this is a strong option due to the institute’s reputation and solid placement record, often surpassing that of many private colleges for CSE. If CSE is the only desired branch, private colleges are the route, but for long-term prospects, TIET Electrical is highly advisable. Consider career interests, college reputation, and placement trends before making a final decision. All the best for your son's admission and a bright future!

Ans: With 66% in your 12th boards and 61 percentile in JEE Main, you are not eligible for CSE in NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs, as these require higher percentiles and at least 75% in boards for General/OBC candidates. However, you can still pursue CSE in many private engineering colleges such as SRM, VIT (via their own entrance), Amity, LPU, and others that accept lower scores. Additionally, explore state counseling processes, as some state colleges have more flexible cutoffs. If you are open to other branches, more options will be available in private or state colleges. All the best for your admission and a bright future!

Ans: Participate in JoSAA + CSAB with all eligible choices.

Apply to state counselling with your category and girl quota.

Keep private universities as backups, especially ones with good CS faculty and flexible electives.

Ans: With a 97th percentile in JEE Main but only 59.6% in CBSE Class 12 (PCB) and an RT (compartment) in Chemistry, you are currently not eligible for admission to NITs, IIITs, GFTIs, or IITs. Both JEE Advanced and JoSAA counseling require candidates to have passed Class 12 with at least 75% (General/OBC) or be in the top 20 percentile, and to have cleared all subjects. Your immediate priority should be to clear your Chemistry compartment exam and obtain a valid Class 12 pass certificate. If you can improve your aggregate or reach the top 20 percentile after the compartment or improvement exams, you may become eligible for JEE Main and Advanced admissions next year. Meanwhile, consider private universities or state-level counseling with more flexible eligibility criteria. Focus on clearing your compartment and improving your scores to keep your engineering admission options open. All the best for your admission and a bright future!
