89.134 %ile in jee mains (st category) which iiit and nit can i get with this?? I want cse branch
Ans: Shreesh,

After the result of January JEE-Session is declared, RediffGURU has been getting standard questions from Students & JEE Applicants regarding the eligibility for particular Institute (NIT or IIIT or GFTI etc.) based on their Percentile scored, their Category, their preferred Branch & their Home State.

Providing information for each JEE Applicant based on these factors can be challenging. Some of the reputed Education based websites provide 'College Predictor' facility. Though you can check the same with your percentile based on your category etc., I would suggest all of you the following steps to know the chances of getting the Institute / 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: Note down your percentile, category, institute types preferred (NIT, IIIT or GFTI), preferred locations or you are ready for any location in India, Academic programs you prefer (list out minimum 3 programs you prefer as back-ups, instead of relying only one program) & the most important factor is your Category (General-Open or SC or SC (PwD) or OBC-NCL (PwD) or EWS (PwD) or Open (PwD) or ST or EWS or OBC-NCL?)

STEP 2: Convert your Percentile into Rank, the formula for which is available in Google.

STEP 3: 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 have noted down in STEP 1 Above.

STEP 4: 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 5: Choose the Institute Type (NIT or IIIT or GFTI). If you are ready for all, better to go one-by-one.

STEP 6: As far as the Institute Name also (based on location), I suggest you to go one-by-one (institute) based on your preference (Avoid Choosing ALL to avoid confusion).

Choosing one-by-one will take time, but recommended.

STEP 7: Fill in the Academic Program (based on in your order of preference one by one).

STEP 8: After choosing the right options, applicable to you, click SUBMIT button.

You will get a detailed list of opening and closing ranks, based on your options chosen

STEP 9: Now start noting down the Opening & Closing of Each Institute & Each Branch you preferred in your Dairy or note-book for quick reference when you participate in JoSAA Counselling.

STEP 10: MOST IMPORTANT: Write 2 different columns for Opening & Closing Ranks in your dairy for each Institute. 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. 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.

Sir, My daughter passed 12th BIPC with 98% and NEET Score 470 under general category in Telangana. As we are not sure to get a chance in A category seat in govt mbbs colleges and my daughter is not willing to retake neet. Kindly advise what career to pursue for a best future. Can she take a gap year to pursue Mathematics for MPC or IISC. Please advise.
Ans: Congratulations to your daughter — scoring 98% in 12th and 470 in NEET is no small achievement. She has worked hard, and it clearly shows.
since her NEET score may not be enough for a government MBBS seat under general category, and she’s not willing to take another drop, it’s wise to explore other good options.
If she wants to completely shift to MPC stream and try for IISc or engineering, it's possible — but she must be very sure. Learning higher-level Maths after BIPC is not easy unless she’s truly interested and ready to put in a year of effort just for the change.
Also, IISc Bangalore is highly competitive — even students from MPC struggle to get in. So this option should be chosen only if she has a deep interest in math and science research.
Best Alternative Career Options After BIPC (Without Dropping Again):
1. BPharm / PharmD – Good scope in pharma companies, research, or higher studies abroad.
2. BSc (Life Sciences / Biotechnology / Microbiology / Genetics) – Leading to research, ICMR, CSIR, MSc, or jobs in labs/industries.
3. BSc Nursing – High demand in India and abroad. Solid career path with good job security.
4. Allied Health Sciences (Physiotherapy, Radiology, Optometry, etc.) – Excellent demand in hospitals and private sector.
5. BAMS / BHMS / BPT – Alternative medicine but well-established options.
6. BSc Food Technology / Nutrition / Agriculture – Also growing fields with research, government, and industry jobs.

Sir ,my son is likely to B Tec CSE in both manipal university, Jaipur and SRM AP Which is the best of the two in terms of facuty,lab,industry internships,future campus placements ,permanent jobs and good packages
Ans: Between Manipal University Jaipur and SRM University AP, both are upcoming private universities, but there are some key differences that can help you decide based on what matters most.
SRM University – AP
• Faculty & Labs: Good focus on research, AI/ML, and some international collaborations (with UC Berkeley, MITx, etc.). Labs are modern and industry-oriented.
• Internships & Exposure: Since it’s located near Amaravati, it has strong focus on tech and innovation. They actively support internships and student projects.
• Placements: For CSE, the university is putting in a lot of effort. Some top companies like Amazon, Infosys, etc., have started coming, and a few students have received high packages too.
• Overall: SRM AP is newer but aggressive in building its brand, especially for CSE.
Manipal University – Jaipur
• Faculty & Labs: Well-established campus with decent faculty and good infrastructure.
• Internships: Slightly less aggressive compared to SRM AP but still offers industry exposure. Location-wise, not as close to tech hubs, but opportunities are there if the student is proactive.
• Placements: Consistent placements for CSE, but average packages may be slightly lower than what SRM AP is trying to achieve.
• Overall: A more stable, structured environment with a longer track record.

Sir, My son has secured a seat in PES RR campus and Manipal (Udupi campus and Bangalore campus) for AY 2025. Branch in all locations is CSE. Kindly advise which one is better from the perspective of - academic clubs, placements and post-grad opportunities. Thanks
Ans: Congratulations to your son on getting admission to such good colleges.
Since the branch is CSE in all three, here’s a simple comparison based on what most parents and students look for:
PES University – RR Campus (Bangalore)
• Placements: One of the best in Bangalore. Strong industry connections. Top companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and Infosys do visit.
• Academic Rigor: Quite structured and disciplined. Good faculty and regular exams.
• Clubs & Exposure: Has some good tech clubs and coding events, though overall student life is more academic-focused.
• Post-Grad Prospects: Good alumni network, many students go abroad or into top MNCs.
Manipal Institute of Technology – Udupi Campus
• Placements: Very decent, especially for CSE. Average packages slightly lower than PES, but big companies do come.
• Clubs & Campus Life: Very vibrant. Excellent tech, innovation, and cultural clubs. Great all-round student life.
• Academics: Flexible curriculum, choice-based credit system.
• Post-Grad Prospects: Strong reputation globally. Good number of students go abroad for MS.
Manipal – Bangalore Campus (MITB)
• Still relatively new, so placements and campus infrastructure are still developing.
• Might not have the same exposure or club culture yet as the Udupi campus.
• But it’s in Bangalore — so internships and tech exposure can be better if the student is proactive.

Sir, I have done my CSE AIML 1st and 2nd semesters in Marwadi University, Rajkot, Gujarat. But due to my health issues and other personal issues I want to join some other universities in banglore, near my home itself from 2nd year , and I have visited few colleges such as Reva university and Ramaiah university regarding change of college they accepted, but the fee structure is too high, can you please help me by letting me know which other universities I can opt for, thank you.
Ans: I understand your situation — your health and personal comfort are very important, and it’s good that you’re looking for colleges closer to home in Bangalore.
It’s also great that Reva and Ramaiah have accepted your transfer, but yes, the fees in private universities can sometimes be on the higher side. Since you’re looking for more affordable options, here are a few suggestions you can explore:
1. Government or Government-Aided Colleges (VTU-affiliated)
These usually have much lower fees compared to private universities. Some colleges you can look at:
• BMS College of Engineering (autonomous, but more reasonable)
• Dr. Ambedkar Institute of Technology
• RV Institute of Technology & Management (not RVCE, this is the newer one)
• Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering (DSCE) – Fee is still lower than universities like Ramaiah.
• Siddaganga Institute of Technology, Tumkur – Slightly outside Bangalore but still a good option.
2. Colleges under VTU (Visvesvaraya Technological University)
3. Check for Scholarships or Fee Concessions
