Dear sir, I hv done Masters in Microbiology. Then, I started my career as Biology Lecturer. After teaching academics for past 5 years now I want to enter the competitive field (NEET) of teaching. Before that I want to prepare myself. How should i prepare for it ? What are the best sources ? etc etc Thanks ...

Ans: With this score, he is more likely to get admission in newer IITs or less competitive branches rather than top IITs or highly sought-after branches like CSE. Participating in JoSAA counselling and considering all IIT options will help maximize admission chances. Have other options also as backups instead of relying only on JEE/JoSAA/NITs-IITs-IIITs-GFTIs. All the best for your Son's admissions and a bright future!

Ans: Hi Aniket
Category 1 will be difficult to get.

Ans: ICFAI University Hyderabad offers stronger placements (average ?4-6 LPA), better infrastructure, and more industry exposure compared to Parul University, making it the better choice for CSE if you can manage the fees and relocation. Parul University is a decent option with growing reputation and may be suitable if you prefer Gujarat or have budget constraints. Also consider waiting for SRMEE results, as SRM Kattankulathur has an excellent track record in CSE placements. All the best for your admissions and a bright future!

Ans: Can you share the ranks.
Seat from Josaa will be tough, chances through CSAB is there.

Ans: At a rank of 47,890, admission to CSE at VIT Chennai is unlikely due to lower cutoff ranks. However, your son has a good chance of securing CSE at VIT Bhopal or VIT Amaravati campuses, where cutoffs extend beyond 45,000. Consider these campuses for CSE admission based on his rank and preferences. All the best for your son's admissions and a bright future!

Ans: Ravindra, At 96 percentile with overall rank ~59,200, admission to CSE in top or mid-tier NITs and IIITs is unlikely due to highly competitive cutoffs. You should consider other branches like ECE, Mechanical, or Civil where cutoffs are more lenient, or look at NITs/IIITs with higher closing ranks. Alternatively, explore private universities or state-level engineering colleges for CSE admission. All the best for your admissions and a bright future!

Ans: Hello dear.
For mental clarity, please take the Aptitude Test and DMIT (Dermatoglyphics Multiple Intelligence Test) to determine your tendency. For further clarity, speak with a career counselor face-to-face after these examinations, if at all feasible. Here, the issues you raised cannot be resolved. Please discuss any issues or thoughts you may have with your parents and request that they consult with a career counselor as soon as possible.
Best of luck to you.
Follow me if you like the reply. Thanks

Ans: Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham Coimbatore is the best choice overall for ECE due to its higher NIRF ranking, stronger placements, and excellent infrastructure.

SRM KTR is a close second with good placements and facilities.

BMS College and Ramaiah Institute are strong regional options with decent placements and academics, especially if you prefer Bengaluru.

Choose based on your rank, budget, and location preference, but for pure ECE focus with strong placement prospects, Amrita Coimbatore leads the list. All the best for your admissions and a bright future!

Ans: Akshit, a drop year is advisable only if he is serious about improving his JEE rank substantially; otherwise, consider good private/state colleges for engineering admission this year. All the best for your admissions and a bright future!
