JEE Mains with 98 percentile: Will I secure a seat in a top NIT?

Ans: As of today, the situation is as follows: if you want a position in a good company, you need to have a minimum of 70% in your HSC and 10th standard, and you must achieve this in your first attempt to be considered for an interview. Additionally, many people waste years trying to attain 75% marks.

Since you are interested in engineering, consider joining an engineering course without taking the JEE (Joint Entrance Examination). After completing your undergraduate degree, you can take the GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) to enter a reputable engineering program that also offers a stipend.

While pursuing your undergraduate degree, make sure to acquire skills relevant to your goals. Instead of wasting time, whether through legal or illegal means, focus on your education and career path.

Ans: Yes, your son can prepare for both CLAT and IPM exams simultaneously, especially given his ICSE score. With a 96% score, he has a strong chance of success in both exams. CLAT and IPM share some common ground, which could make preparation more manageable.
Preparation for both CLAT and IPM:
CLAT:
CLAT requires a strong foundation in English comprehension, logical reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and legal reasoning. IPM exams also test similar skills.
IPM:
IPM exams focus on quantitative ability, analytical reasoning, and verbal reasoning. CLAT also assesses these skills.
Overlap:
The core skills tested in both exams, such as quantitative reasoning, verbal reasoning, and logical reasoning, provide common ground for preparation. Your son's coaching for IPM can help him develop a solid foundation in these areas.
Legal Reasoning:
CLAT specifically requires legal reasoning, which is not part of IPM. Your son can focus on preparing for this section separately.
Scheduling:
Balancing preparation for both exams requires careful planning. He can allocate specific time slots for each exam's preparation.
Chances of Clearing Both:
IPM:
With a 96% ICSE score, your son has a strong chance of clearing IPM exams. His high marks indicate a strong aptitude for quantitative reasoning and problem-solving.
CLAT:
CLAT is a highly competitive exam, but with his current scores, your son has a very good chance of clearing CLAT.
Factors affecting success:
Preparation efforts, effective time management, and consistency in studying will play a crucial role in determining success in both exams.
Tips for Preparation:
Structured Approach:
A structured study plan that includes regular practice, mock tests, and detailed analysis of mistakes will be beneficial.
Mock Tests:
Regular mock tests for both CLAT and IPM will help him assess his progress and identify areas for improvement.
Time Management:
Developing effective time management skills is crucial for balancing preparation for both exams.
Focus on Fundamentals:
Ensure he has a strong foundation in the core subjects of both exams.
Practice:
He should solve a variety of questions and practice problems to build confidence and improve his speed and accuracy.
Best of luck. Professor

Ans: It is unlikely that IIIT Hyderabad would accept NIOS Chemistry for DASA eligibility because the DASA brochure states that the subjects must be completed outside India. Since NIOS is an Indian board, it does not meet this requirement. However, you could consider taking AP or IB Chemistry to meet the requirements, as these are often recognized as international qualifications. It's best to wait for IIITH's response to your email for official clarification.
Elaboration:
DASA Requirements:
DASA (Direct Admissions for Students Abroad) at IIIT Hyderabad requires applicants to have completed 11th and 12th grades or equivalent outside India, with a minimum of 60% marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
NIOS and IIITH:
While NIOS is a recognized board in India, it's unlikely to be accepted for DASA at IIITH because the DASA brochure specifies that the subjects must be completed outside India.
AP or IB Chemistry:
You could consider taking AP or IB Chemistry through a foreign board to fulfill the requirement for Chemistry. These are often recognized as international qualifications.
Waiting for IIITH's Response:
Since you've already emailed IIITH, it's advisable to wait for their response to your query for official clarification on whether NIOS Chemistry would be accepted.

Ans: You are too confused about the colleges. First decide for which branch you want to go and then tell me your percentile instead of rank. Be precise.

Ans: For you AMIE ( Mechanical) will be the best option. You will be equivalent to B.E./B.Tech Mechanical. The details are given below.
The AMIE (Associate Member of the Institution of Engineers) exam is a professional qualification in engineering, equivalent to a B.E./B.Tech. degree. It's conducted by the Institution of Engineers (India) (IEI) and is offered as a distance learning program. The exam is held twice a year, in June and December.
Exam Structure:
Stage I (Section A): Focuses on fundamental engineering subjects.
Stage II (Section B): Covers a specific branch of engineering like Civil, Electrical, or Mechanical.
Eligibility:
Educational Qualification:
Candidates must have completed a recognized course of study in engineering or technology.
Age:
No upper age limit, but candidates must be at least 18 years old on the first day of the examination.
Other:
Indian citizens or foreign nationals with at least two years of residence in India.
Exam Pattern:
The exam is based on multiple-choice questions (MCQs).
It can be taken online (CBT) or offline (PBT).
Benefits:
Becoming a graduate engineer with the same qualification as a B.E./B.Tech. degree.
Recognized by government and private sectors.
Least expensive compared to traditional degree programs.
Application Process:
Download the application form from the IEI website.
Fill out the form and attach the required documents.
Pay the application fee.
Submit the application form along with the fee.

But since you did the recovery work in Finance sector you are totally detached from Mechanical Engineering. So it is not possible to say what kind of job you will get and what will be your salary.

Ans: Certainly Pharmacy, but she needs a sound knowledge of Chemistry and she must have deep interest in Chemistry.

Ans: If you didn’t get a top NIT, IIIT, or CSE in a good government college, VIT Chennai CSE is a good private option

Ans: Unless you are deeply interested in electrical engineering or plan a specific career in core EEE, the 5-Year Integrated M.Tech in IT/CSE is generally the better choice in terms of placements, industry relevance, and future-proofing.

Yes, many institutes (including IIIT Gwalior) offer an exit option after 4 years with a B.Tech degree, usually in the 3rd year or at the start of the 4th year.

Ans: Hi Sir,

Greetings! I believe that the NEET 2025 results have not been declared yet. Are you referring to NEET 2024 instead?

Regarding the next part of your question, she can opt for BNYS (Bachelor of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences). At this point, there is no need to take NEET, so she can choose to pursue BNYS.

As for the comparison between Pharmacy and Biomedical Engineering, Pharmacy is generally considered a better option than Biomedical Engineering. However, it's important to assess whether she excels in chemistry or mathematics first, as this will guide your choice.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to provide more details.
BEST WISHES.
