Iam currently studying in 12th i want to crack JEE mains and advanced but i think i dont jave the capacity to crack the jee. But i need cse. Iam considering VIT Vellore , BITS Pilani,etc but problem is Finances. BTW iam OBC-NCL

Ans: Some PRACTICAL strategies / steps / tips you should follow: (1) Whenever you study at home, study for 45-minutes. Then take a break of 10-minutes when you can move away from your study table, walk, have some water & relax. If you continue studying beyond 45-minutes, your concentration power will go down, resulting to low output. Most students commit this mistake. (2) On daily basis (morning or evening whichever will be convenient to you), do yoga or meditation or physical exercises or play any games / sports for at least 30-45 minutes. This will further reduce your stress / distractions. (3) Study tough topics / tough subjects (applicable to you) early morning with your fresh mind. (4) Eat a lot of green vegetables / fruits which you can afford for & Avoid soft drinks (5) Every day night, before going to bed, revise whatever you have studied during the day. (6) Also, revise every week whatever you have covered till date (here your short-notes which you should prepare will be helpful). (7) Keep practising questions on topics which you have covered either offline or online (8) Give utmost importance to wrongly answered / difficult / complicated / tough questions and have a separate note-book specially for this for each subject (PCM) (8) You might be aware that JEE rank is allotted on the basis of highest score in Maths, followed by Physics & Chemistry. Practice more and more in Maths, till you reach Speed & Accuracy (9) By the end of 9th/10th/11th/12th standard (December-January), attempt fully syllabus online test series, evaluate and analyse your performance such as, (a) which topic / unit / concept you are weak which needs your revision and improvement as this will disturb you when you appear in actual JEE exam (b) abnormal time taken to attempt any question which you can come to know from Online Test Series which you should reduce (c) which questions you skipped and why? (10) Please AVOID studying under pressure that you should get admission only into IITs/ NITs. Never advisable. Any one can be successful, even if he / she studies in NON-IIT / NON-NIT Colleges also. (11) Have Plan B & Plan C for other Colleges Entrance Exams / Disciplines-Streams. (11) Avoid comparing yourself with other students. (12) Also, it is highly ideal to appear in / attempt minimum 5-Entrance Exams (for both Govt & Private Engineering Colleges). You will have a lot of options (easiest method) to choose the best and most suitable one, keeping in view a lot of factors such as, College | Location | Your Interest | Stream Preference | Placement Records | College Culture | Your Short & Long Term Goals | Pressure You Can Go Through | Your AIR & Job Market Condition when you apply for your BTech & Even after. I hope I have answered to your question with value additions.

All the BEST for your Bright Future.

Hello sir, I have never been able to crack JEE mains in both my attempts and have gained an overall percentile of 75-78 throughout my two phases of appearing in the examination i.e. once in 2024 and then again in the 2025 drop year that did not go as expected at all due to various unprecedented circumstances. I tried though could not even make it till achieving the cut off score. I was a student from a CISCE affiliated school, where my 10th and 12th percentages in Boards have been 95.20 and 93.25 respectively. Engineering entrances did not benefit me although I had huge aspirations to be a computer science engineer for I had been quite passionate with the subject itself. Last year I was not quite informed and also had my 12th Boards lurking in my head, so I couldn't opt for my state's enginnering entrance and VITEEE(as the other exam which I had considered this year). The WBJEE results i.e. my state board Engineering entrance results still await, and I am not very hopeful about that either, whilst VITEEE has also been a complete disaster for me as I have ended up with a phase 4 rank and even if I had gained a phase 1 rank, my financial situation is not very affluent to afford the entire education expenses of a private college of that stature. And losing in on VIT also eliminates my hopes of being enrolled to any other private college where availing education is so expensive. My academic record till class 12 has not been too bad I feel, yet sir my current situation is continuously putting me in disappointment. It's already July and I have now made a change of plans. I have henceforth decided to pursue BSc Computer Science from any college where I can be offered a decent academic environment at a cheap cost, and being a citizen of west bengal, I have considered taking admission to Ramkrishna Mission Vivekananda centenary College, Rahara(Which is NIRF rank 3 under general colleges category as of 2024). I have all my focus on now being able to compete for IIT JAM or GATE examination while I complete my graduation. Now whether An M.tech or MSc. In computer science would be a considerable option for me in future and this far how correct have I been in my thinking and choices with keeping my financial compulsions in mind is a question that I have remained confused with, and that is why I went about writing as far as providing you a brief and honest description of my academic and financial background so that I can be helped through this online consultation in shaping my career ahead. I belong to a very needy family sir..so I'll forever remain indebted to your reply, if you can benefit me with your solicited advice.
Ans: Opting for B.Sc. Computer Science (Hons) at Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Centenary College (RKMVCC), Rahara is a strategic choice given your academic strengths (95.2% in 10th, 93.25% in 12th) and financial constraints. RKMVCC, ranked NIRF #3 (2024) and NAAC A++ accredited, offers a 3-year B.Sc. CS program with a total tuition fee of ?330, making it highly affordable. The curriculum includes core CS subjects (Data Structures, Algorithms, AI) and research projects, aligning with IIT JAM/GATE preparation. While placements are limited (~2% UG placement rate), most students pursue higher studies at institutions like IITs/NITs, leveraging RKMVCC’s strong academic rigor and faculty (predominantly PhD holders). For M.Tech/M.Sc. pathways, prioritize IIT JAM (for MSc in IITs) or GATE (for M.Tech), both feasible with RKMVCC’s foundational training. Explore Presidency University or Calcutta University as backups for B.Sc. CS, though fees may be higher. Focus on scholarships (e.g., INSPIRE, UGC-NET) and coding competitions to bolster your profile. Verify RKMVCC’s internship support and alumni networks for guidance. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
