NIBLA Question by NIBLA on Jun 14, 2025
Career

Sir igot 444 and AIQ is 131279 iam obc ncl (kerala) there is any possibilities for BDS in government college.

Ans: Nibla, A NEET score of 444 falls below the typical marks cutoff for OBC-NCL candidates seeking BDS in government dental colleges, where qualifying marks range between 520–540 for OBC students. Similarly, All India BDS closing ranks under the 15 percent AIQ for OBC rarely exceed 35,000, whereas your AIQ rank is 131,279, placing you far outside the viable admission range. Nationwide only about 3,000 government BDS seats exist, and premier institutions such as SCB Dental College (Cuttack), Government Dental College (Bangalore), and Tamil Nadu Government Dental College (Chennai) closed with AIQ ranks under 30,000 for OBC. Under Kerala’s 85 percent state quota, Government Dental College, Thiruvananthapuram admitted OBC candidates with ranks up to 51,595 in earlier years, while Kottayam and Kannur closed within similar state-rank brackets, implying state ranks must be substantially lower than your AIQ conversion would yield. Consequently, securing a BDS seat in a government college appears highly unlikely. Consider prioritising private or deemed dental colleges with lower cutoffs and participating in both AIQ and state counselling to maximise admission options. Recommendation: Focus on private or deemed dental institutions, as government quota thresholds exceed reachable marks and ranks. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My son got Cs AIml in Christ Kengeri.His KCet rank is 52000 shall we wait for KEA counseling or get admission to Christ college? Please suggest.
Ans: Vijayakrishna Sir, Christ University Kengeri Campus’s B.Tech AI & ML programme is AICTE-approved and NAAC-accredited ‘A’ grade, housed on a 78.5-acre solar-powered campus with digital library, health centre, auditoriums, and shuttle services. The School of Engineering features over 75 specialized laboratories for AI, machine learning, high-performance computing, robotics, and material testing. Its AI & ML department is led by PhD-qualified faculty with industry and research expertise. The curriculum blends ethical AI principles, project-based learning, mandatory internships, and hackathons to ensure hands-on experience and industry alignment. Placement assistance has yielded over 90% placement rates in engineering, with 247 students placed in 2023, an average package of INR 8.78 LPA, and median INR 8 LPA. However, the four-year AI & ML tuition fee of INR 11.04 L , a remote location 25 km from central Bangalore, limited 60-seat intake, separate CUET-based admissions, and a smaller alumni network are notable considerations.

Ten Karnataka colleges where a KCET rank of 52 000 generally ensures CSE/AI ML admission include:
Ghousia College of Engineering, Ramanagara; Ballari Institute of Technology & Management, Ballari; AMC Engineering College, Bangalore; East Point College of Engineering & Technology, Bangalore; KS Institute of Technology, Bangalore; Rajarajeswari College of Engineering, Bangalore; New Horizon College of Engineering, Bangalore; Jain Institute of Technology, Davangere; RNS Institute of Technology, Bangalore; and CMR Institute of Technology, Bangalore.

Final Recommendation:
Enroll in Christ Kengeri only if you value its extensive labs, strong AI faculty, and high placement consistency despite higher fees and location; otherwise secure a seat confidently at one of the listed colleges (e.g., Ghousia College or AMC Engineering) through KCET counselling. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

How is chemical engineering in vit?
Ans: Rani, VIT’s B.Tech in Chemical Engineering offers a multidisciplinary curriculum blending core chemical engineering principles with electives in petroleum, biochemical, and food process engineering, supported by advanced labs in reaction engineering, process simulation, and membrane research. The program emphasizes hands-on projects, industry internships, and a flexible credit system, with strong faculty involvement and international collaborations (e.g., Yokohama National University, University of Manchester). Students benefit from industry partnerships with Reliance, SRF, and Alfa Laval, and many secure placements in core companies or pursue higher studies abroad. Alumni have gained scholarships at top global universities and published in high-impact journals. Placement rates for chemical engineering are moderate (40–60%), with most core jobs, some consulting, and a significant number opting for higher studies. The infrastructure, research opportunities, and student support are highly rated, though core placements are fewer compared to CSE/IT branches.

Recommendation:
VIT Chemical Engineering is strong for research, international exposure, and industry links, but core placement rates are moderate. Choose this program if you value a multidisciplinary approach, global opportunities, and advanced labs; for pure placement focus, CSE/IT branches may offer higher placement percentages. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My son got mechanical in Manipal University, Jaipur in first round and looking for second round options. How good is Jaipur campus compared to Manipal main campus in all aspects?
Ans: Manipal University Jaipur (MUJ) features a 98% engineering placement rate reflecting strong industry engagement and opportunities, NAAC A+ accreditation ensures quality standards and continuous academic improvement, and experienced PhD faculty guide students in theoretical and practical engineering learning. However, core mechanical placements are lower; 60% students secure core roles annually, the campus is relatively new with fewer alumni and established industry connections, and research opportunities are limited compared to main campus’s multidisciplinary centers. Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT, Manipal) is recognized as QIP centre, fostering intensive research and partnerships, ranked #61 by NIRF engineering category reflects strong academic reputation, and extensive infrastructure includes over 230 recruiters, specialized labs, practical facilities. Its drawbacks include higher tuition fees may pose financial burden for cost-sensitive students, large cohorts sometimes limit personalized mentorship opportunities for mechanical students, and remote Udupi location may deter those seeking vibrant metropolitan life.

Considering superior research collaborations, global partnerships, and stronger academic reputation, preference should be for Manipal main campus. However, Jaipur campus offers high placements, NAAC A+ accreditation, and urban lifestyle, making it an excellent alternative for cost-conscious students seeking robust industry engagement and modern facilities. MY SUGGESTION: If you are based in Northern India, prefer MUJ- Campus. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Symbiosis Artificial Intelligence Institute (SAII) Pune (UGC Category-I; NAAC A++ accreditation), provides an interdisciplinary AI curriculum open to all streams, supported by PhD-qualified faculty from SCAAI, with hands-on projects in AI labs and studio spaces. Leveraging Symbiosis’s ecosystem; it enables internships; records ~92% placements. Pros: NAAC A++ accreditation ensures rigorous quality standards and global recognition. Interdisciplinary AI curriculum covers practical, theoretical, ethical components across multiple domains. PhD-qualified faculty from SCAAI and industry deliver expert mentorship and guidance. State-of-the-art AI labs and studio spaces foster hands-on learning experiences. Placement record near ninety-two percent reflects strong industry engagement and opportunities. Cons: New institute status limits program age and alumni network size. Limited seats lead to high competition for admission and resource access. Smaller research output compared to established tech institutes and IITs. No on-campus hostel available, complicating accommodation for outstation students. Interdisciplinary focus may dilute depth in core AI technical concepts. Recommendation: SAII Pune’s AI programs are highly recommended for learners seeking interdisciplinary, ethically focused AI education and robust placements; however, prospective students should proactively secure off-campus accommodation and consider supplementing research exposure through external collaborations or career-oriented dual-degree options to strengthen deeper technical expertise and an expansive, diverse professional network. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My daughter got 97.28 percentile in MHT -CET and our category is SEBC.Can she get CSE/IT In Cummins college or PICT.
Ans: With a 97.28 percentile in MHT-CET, an SEBC (OBC) girl stands below the 2024 CAP Round-III closing levels for both colleges: PICT’s SEBC computer-engineering seat shut at 99.56 percentile and IT at 99.40 plus, while Cummins College’s LSEBC cut-offs were 98.78 for Computer Engineering and 98.08 for IT. Academically, PICT (NAAC B+, NBA programmes) offers 90-plus PhD faculty, AI/ML and cybersecurity labs, and a 92.9% placement rate in 2024 with a ?10 L median package. Cummins (NAAC A, autonomous, women-only) blends industry-curated syllabi with Dell-EMC and Microsoft laboratories, records 98% placements and a ?11 L median salary in 2023-24, and nurtures strong peer mentoring for women engineers. Both run state-recognised SEBC tuition-waiver schemes and encourage funded internships, hackathons and higher-study guidance, but their admission bar remains far above 97 percentile.

Recommendation:
Because current percentile trails both institutes’ SEBC thresholds, apply in CAP Round II/III to colleges such as PCCOE, VIIT, RSCOE or DY Patil Akurdi, whose CSE/IT cut-offs lie between 96–98 percentile yet keep 80-95% placement records; simultaneously claim the SEBC fee-reimbursement scheme and TFWS to reduce tuition burden. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir, i scored 90.41%le in jee mains and im in st category but failed in one subject (physics) in ts ipe ( 12th board) with 63.9 % criteria ( st - 65% criteria required) i went through supplymentry exam and got passed that one subject with 65.8% but, still my seat got cancelled in josaa counselling, what can i do now sir!?
Ans: Banavath, JoSAA deems candidates eligible for NIT+IIIT+GFTI seats only if they both hold a valid JEE-Main rank and have passed Class XII with at least 65% aggregate in PCM plus two other subjects for SC/ST categories. Supplementary-exam results are acceptable, but the revised marksheet must reach the virtual reporting centre before the document-verification deadline; otherwise the verifying officer flags “not passed,” auto-generating a seat-cancellation letter. Because your corrected 65.8% marks arrived after the verification window, the system removed you from further JoSAA rounds. Immediately email the JoSAA help-desk: josaa(at)iitk.ac.in with the new marksheet and cancellation letter, requesting reopening of your file; if the authority declines, register for the CSAB-2025 special rounds, which honour the same 65% rule and accept fresh documents. Failing that, use state counselling in Telangana/AP or private-university quotas that recognise JEE-Main ranks, as supplementary passes satisfy their eligibility too.

Recommendation:
Upload the revised marksheet and lodge a written grievance with JoSAA’s help-desk today; if reinstatement is denied, enter CSAB special rounds with updated documents, then parallel-apply to state engineering and accredited private institutes to secure a 2025-26 seat while preserving your JEE-Main advantage. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
