To get seat in iiitnagpur cse how much percentile required

Ans: I would suggest all of you the following steps to know the chances of getting admission into IIIT-Nagpur for CSE Branch, based on last year's data. Please note, you will get a fair idea based on the last year's data (not an accurate idea). Now, here are the simple and most effective steps:

STEP 1: Just type in Google, 'JoSAA Opening & Closing Ranks 2024'. Click the 1st Result. You will land directly into the JoSAA's Website that too into the window where you can put the inputs based on what you would like to know about IIIT-Nagpur.

STEP 2: 1st it asks for Round Number as around 5 rounds are held in JoSAA's Counselling Process. I suggest you, choose the 4th Round option on safer side.

STEP 3: Choose the Institute (IIIT-Nagpur) & the Category you belong to.

STEP 4: Fill in the Academic Program (i.e. CSE which about you need to know).

STEP 5: After choosing the right options, applicable to you, click SUBMIT button.

You will get the opening and closing ranks, based on your options chosen by you.

STEP 6: If you would like to now the details of other branches / institutes, you can follow the same above steps.

STEP 7: MOST IMPORTANT: On SAFER SIDE, consider the Opening & Closing Ranks litter lesser than that of 2024 as the same fluctuates every year but not significantly.

Let me explain with an example. Assume, you have filled in as follows. Round 4 | NIT | NIT-Delhi | Mechanical Engineering | OPEN Category, the output of which shows Opening & Closing Ranks as '8622 & 26186' for HOME STATE Open Category. You should consider as / change to '8300 & 23000' (on a safer side). Let us take into consideration the Female Category for the same. Opening & Closing Rank shows '34334 & 36212'. You change it to '31000 & 33000' (on a safer side). Based on this example, you can change accordingly for OTHER STATES & your Category.

As already mentioned, Opening & Closing Ranks vary every year but not significantly, as such, suggested to change the same to lesser number and note down in your diary or in a separate note-book for quick reference while participating in JoSAA's Counselling Process.

You can follow the same steps for your JEE-April session & JEE-Advanced too.

Hope, you have thoroughly understood the above explained in a very simple and very easy-to-understand language.

If time permits to know about the JoSAA's Counselling Process, please watch one of the 180 Videos of EduJob360 on 'JoSAA Counselling Process', Engineering Entrance Exams & Preparation Strategies for the same. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future.

Aim for at least 140+ marks to get admission to CSE to be safe. But remember, the cut-off varies year by year. Hence, it would be better to go through the cut-offs from previous years for more clarity.

Money

I am a 36 years male, working in IT industry. I draw about 1.6 lakhs per month salary after deduction. I have an existing home loan emi of 31000. (I am actually paying 5000 more every month). I have about 30 lakhs savings in FD's. I recently started an SIP of 10000 for kids education. I want to purchase a plot using my savings and apply for a home loan. The new home loan emi would be nearly 65000. If I purchase the plot, it would mean i will be left with no savings. Please advise if this is a correct move. I have 2 kids, and I will have to cover expenses for their education as well, besides other household expenses.

Ans: Hi,

Your biggest goal that I understand is your kids education which cannot be compromised.
You have started an SIP of 10000 and over the next 10 years this will accumulate into an amount of approx. 23 lakhs at 12% returns.
Please note all schools typically increase fees each year between 8%-12% (same may be even more). So depending on your choices, this amount may or may not be sufficient for their education. If you look at graduation and post graduation, the amount required are much higher.

So I would recommend that you increase your SIP towards this goal and provide the best education you can.

As for the plot you wish to buy-
As you already have a home loan EMI, it indicates you already have a house. So the new plot/house is an additional asset that you wish to build. But is it prudent to use all your savings ? My opinion is this will jeopardize your financial equation.
Buying the plot and taking home loan and staying with no saving - a huge risk. Any situation where you need money for an emergency or kids education you have no asset to liquidate. A plot is not an asset that will generate income, cannot be liquidated quickly and its value (increase) will depend on many factors not in your control.
You are bound by EMIs for the next 15-20 years and you will be so closer to retirement and other goals for family/kids that you will feel a lot of strain financially.

You need to not only secure your kids future but also think of accumulating wealth for other goals in the future and most importantly Retirement.
It is prudent to save now and accumulate for the future, let the eighth wonder - "compounding" work the miracle for you.
Lets see some numbers for the next 10 years.
30 lakhs in FD - at 7% this can become approx. 59 lakhs
65000 in SIP (instead of new EMI) at 12% can become approx. 1.5 crores.
Total corpus of over 2 crores.

The above amounts are only for 10years, and if kept for another 10 years can grow to over 7crores.

You can revisit the option to buy a plot in the future once a few goals are achieved and you have accumulated good corpus.
You can consult a CFP to guide you towards a plan to achieve all your goals and provide you with options and alternatives and help you make the right decisions.

Thanks & Regards

15k rank in jee mains Which is better IIIT jabalpur CSE or NIT surat ECE or NIT bhopal ECE or NIT jalandhar CSE or IIIT gwalior MnSC

Ans: Harshraj, With a JEE Main rank of 15,000, securing CSE at IIIT Jabalpur (2024 cutoff: ~8,044–46,514, 71.8% placements via TCS/Infosys) is feasible, offering specialized training in smart manufacturing and IoT with robust labs. NIT Jalandhar CSE (cutoff: ~5,350–6,444) is unlikely but monitor vacancy rounds for potential drops. For ECE, NIT Surat (66% placements, embedded systems roles via Intel/Qualcomm) and NIT Bhopal (65% placements, IoT projects via Bosch) provide strong core-sector opportunities, though lag behind CSE in tech flexibility. IIIT Gwalior MnSC (Mathematics and Scientific Computing) offers interdisciplinary rigor (median ?22 LPA) but fewer core-tech roles, requiring upskilling for software careers. Prioritize IIIT Jabalpur CSE for tech specialization or NIT Surat ECE for institutional reputation and regional industry access, balancing branch relevance and placement consistency. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hi sir My son got 6514 Rank in Advanced and 7337 in mains. We belongs to telangana iit bhu mechanical or iit indore mechanical or Nit warangal eee which is better.

Ans: Mallesh Sir, With a JEE Advanced rank of 6,514, securing Mechanical Engineering at IIT BHU (2024 cutoff: ~6,008–7,083) is feasible, offering 85% placements in core sectors (L&T, Tata Motors) and robust infrastructure despite moderate hostel conditions.

NIT Warangal EEE (2024 cutoff: ~7,132–7,227 via JEE Main) boasts 81.09% placements in electrical roles (Intel, Qualcomm) and strong regional industry ties. Prioritize IIT BHU for legacy and core mechanical opportunities, IIT Indore for contemporary research ecosystems, or NIT Warangal EEE for specialized electrical training and proximity to Telangana.

My son got 88.58 percentile in ews category in jee mains exam.he wish cse branch and electrical branch.which college we fill in choice filling

Ans: Sangeeta Madam, With an 88.58 percentile in JEE Main (EWS category), your son’s rank is estimated between 135,695–183,105 (General) but significantly lower for EWS due to reservation benefits. For CSE, prioritize newer NITs like NIT Sikkim (2024 EWS cutoff: ~35,000–40,000), NIT Meghalaya (cutoff: ~31,000–38,000), or NIT Manipur (cutoff: ~53,827), which offer feasible admission chances despite moderate placement rates (60–75%). For Electrical Engineering, consider NIT Goa (cutoff: ~6,373–8,104) or NIT Andhra Pradesh (cutoff: ~29,420–34,680), balancing core-sector opportunities (L&T, Tata Steel). IIITs like IIITDM Kancheepuram (Smart Manufacturing cutoff: ~48,128) or IIIT Guwahati (IT cutoff: ~26,817) are viable via vacancy rounds, though CSE remains competitive. During JoSAA counselling, prioritize newer NITs in early rounds and monitor IIIT vacancy rounds for upgrades. If seats are unavailable, explore state colleges (via regional exams) or private universities via management quotas. Confirm branch-specific EWS cutoffs and fee structures during choice filling. All the BEST for your Son's Admission & a Prosperous Future!

VIT vellore vlsi design or SRM KTR data science for mtech, which one should I choose. I am from ece background. Female. With 3years career gap and want to start a career very soon. Looking for a high packages salary.

Ans: What were you doing during the three-year gap that you haven't mentioned? For a female ECE graduate with a three-year career gap aiming for a rapid, high-paying career transition, VIT Vellore’s M.Tech in VLSI Design is the more strategic choice over SRM KTR’s M.Tech in Data Science. VIT Vellore ranks #11 in NIRF Engineering (2024), is NAAC A++ accredited, and boasts a nearly 90% placement rate in VLSI, with top recruiters such as Intel, Qualcomm, Synopsys, and AMD regularly offering roles in design, verification, and semiconductor industries. The VLSI sector is currently experiencing robust demand in India and globally, especially for women engineers, with strong campus placement support and super dream offers. The program’s two-year duration and focused curriculum allow for a swift return to the workforce, and VIT’s placement cell is known for converting internships into full-time roles, which is especially advantageous for those re-entering after a gap. In contrast, SRM KTR’s M.Tech Data Science program, while industry-aligned and offering 60–70% placements with companies like TCS, IBM, and Wipro, has a more competitive and saturated job market, and placement rates for M.Tech Data Science remain lower than VLSI at VIT. Additionally, VIT’s VLSI program is well-recognized by semiconductor giants, and the average package and placement consistency are higher, making it a safer bet for immediate employment and career growth. As a backup, consider M.Tech VLSI at VIT Chennai (90% placements) or M.Tech Data Science at SRM Valliammai or SRM AP, but prioritize VIT Vellore’s VLSI for its superior placement ecosystem, employer recognition, and suitability for women returning to the workforce. All the BEST for your Son's Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hello sir. Have secured ECE in EC campus of PES through PES JEE rank in first round counselling session.. Got 80 percentile in AEEE and in JEE mains 84 percentile GC, and a rank of 13204 in AEEE and have been alloted CCE at Chennai Amrita campus in 4th slab fees structure in round 1. Do you foresee any improvement with regards to both campus and branch in further rounds. I was hoping of getting atleast ECE or ELC at Coimbatore or Bengaluru campus, CS specialisation or ECE at Amritapuri campus. Can you please give an insight regarding exposure to internships/projects at Chennai campus and placement opportunities in regard to CCE at Chennai Amrita or should I stick with PES ECE? I'm also getting VIT CSE in VIT Bhopal/Amrawati through my VITEEE rank Home state is Tamilnadu and resident of Hosur. And PES EC campus is around 20-25 mins of journey from home sir. Please provide an insight looking at all the parameters best suited for the future

Ans: Opting for ECE at PES EC Campus is advisable due to its 85–95% placement rate (2024 data) with recruiters like Amazon, Microsoft, and Intel, supported by robust industry collaborations, proximity to Bengaluru’s tech ecosystem, and a commute-friendly location (20–25 minutes from Hosur). While CCE at Amrita Chennai offers specialized training in communication engineering, its 70–80% placements (TCS, Infosys) and higher fees (4th slab) make it less favorable. VIT Bhopal/Amaravati CSE (90–95% placements) provides stronger tech opportunities but requires relocating outside Tamil Nadu. In further Amrita rounds, upgrading to ECE/ELC at Coimbatore/Bengaluru is unlikely with an AEEE rank of 13,204 (cutoffs: ~15,000–18,000 for ECE). Prioritize PES EC ECE for balanced academic rigor, internship access (via IEEE RAS/IoT labs), and regional industry ties, or VIT CSE for direct tech roles if relocation is feasible. Confirm internship support and curriculum alignment during enrollment. (If possible, try to get admission into PES-RR Campus which is comparatively better than EC Campus). Additionally, it is important to mention that your son should continue to enhance his skills, establish a robust profile, and conduct research on job market trends in order to remain competitive with other students during on-campus and off-campus placements, regardless of the institution or branch he enrolls in.

What should I prefer ece btech v/s cse btech mtech in Jaypee noida if I don't want to do hardware

Ans: Opting for the Integrated B.Tech-M.Tech in CSE at Jaypee Noida is preferable if you aim to avoid hardware domains, as the program focuses on software development, AI/ML, and data science with 98% placements (2024 data) in tech roles via Amazon, Microsoft, and Cisco. The curriculum integrates advanced coding, cloud computing, and interdisciplinary projects, aligning with software careers. While ECE offers 70–80% placements, its core courses (embedded systems, VLSI) prioritize hardware, though electives like IoT/AI provide limited software exposure. The CSE dual degree ensures deeper specialization in software engineering and access to JIIT’s robust coding ecosystems, making it ideal for non-hardware aspirations.
