Sir, Can you advise about some online course which my son can pursue alongside his BTECH CSE course for updating his skills. I have come across a website named "SWAYAM" providing a wide range of courses. Is it good enough.

Ans: SWAYAM is a reputable platform offering a wide range of online courses developed by top Indian institutions like IITs, IIMs, and NITs. NPTEL are another one. Courses are free. You have to pay when you want to get certificates by giving exam. That is also very nominal.
Additionally, other platforms like Coursera, edX, and Udacity also offer specialized courses.

My daughter got 89.8 percentile in jee mains in gen ews category with CRL rank 156972 and gen ews rank 24066 from home state telangana can she get any NITs or IIITs with it?

Ans: With an 89.8 percentile (CRL 156972) and an EWS rank of 24066, being a female candidate from Telangana, her home state, she should definitely register for JoSAA and CSAB special rounds. For top branches like CSE and ECE at NIT Warangal, chances are very low since recent EWS home-state cutoffs are much higher, with NIT Warangal EWS HS CSE closing at significantly lower ranks. More realistic options include lower branches at NITs, some newer NITs and GFTIs, and selected IIITs with branch flexibility. Additionally, consider IIIT Basara, IIITDM Kancheepuram, GFTIs, and state counseling through TS EAMCET. Keeping CSE/IT seats in reputed private colleges as a strong backup is also advisable. ALL the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!

Career

Dear Sir, My son scored 95.58 percentile in JEE Mains. What could be the possible NIT IIIT with OBC NCL male candidate & Tamilnadu Home State?

Ans: Rohith Sir, With a 95.58 percentile, your son should definitely participate in JoSAA and CSAB counseling; however, the exact shortlist depends on his OBC-NCL category rank rather than percentile alone, as JoSAA bases OBC-NCL closing ranks on category rank. For Tamil Nadu Home State, securing CSE, ECE, or EEE at NIT Tiruchirappalli is unlikely due to stronger recent closing ranks for OBC-NCL candidates. More realistic options include lower to mid-level branches at NIT Puducherry and some newer NITs, as well as selected IIIT and GFTI choices depending on branch flexibility. IIITDM Kancheepuram is also worth exploring, though competition for CSE and ECE remains high. If possible, have some 3-4 reputed Private Engineering Colleges of TN state (such as SNN, SNU, Sathyabhma, Amrita etc.) as backup options. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Sir I got 89.52 percentile with rank of 1.62 lakh in jee mains as delhi female I want to aim for cse /it / ece at govt or good private college . Moreover tell me about is ipu good for good placements . How much should I focus on tier of college is tier 2.5 or tier 3 better for me . I am also confused whether to take drop or not my maths percentile was least around 25 percentile and in chem and phy around 94 and 90 what would be best for me .

Ans: With an 89.52 percentile (approximately 1.62 lakh CRL), securing CSE, IT, or ECE in NITs or most IIITs through JoSAA is unlikely for an unreserved candidate, so it is best to use JoSAA and CSAB for lower-demand branches in GFTIs or NITs only. For Delhi, IPU is a strong option, particularly colleges like USICT, MAIT, MSIT, and BVCOE, with recent placement data showing credible hiring and a highest package of 41.2 LPA in 2024, although outcomes vary by college and branch. It is advisable to prioritize branch and college quality over focusing solely on tiers, as a good Tier-2.5 IPU seat in CSE/IT is preferable to a weak Tier-3 seat elsewhere. Given a 25 percentile in Maths, dropping a year is risky unless there is a realistic chance of substantial improvement; otherwise, it is better to accept the best available CSE/IT/ECE seat now. Fill in the maximum of your preferred choices in JoSAA counselling and if possible/affordable by your parents, have 3-4 private engineering colleges also as backups (in and around Delhi/neighbouring States) instead of relying only on JoSAA, CSAB & JAC. ALL the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Sir my Son got 87%ile in jee mains and 87 percent in cbse boards. He wants a b.tech course which will be very relevant and offer more opportunities in the coming years, priority is Computer Science. What counselling should he opt for? What private colleges should he apply for? Currently prepping for WBJEE, UGEE, VITEEE, MET and IAT. Please help.

Ans: The IAT is primarily for students interested in research, and your son's chances of admission to NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs for CSE/IT with an 87 percentile in JEE Main and 87% in CBSE may be low based on JoSAA's opening and closing ranks. It is recommended that he registers for JoSAA and CSAB Special counseling as initial steps but prioritizes WBJEE counseling, VITEEE, and MET, which currently offer stronger chances for industry-relevant B.Tech programs. For private colleges, options like VIT, Manipal, JIIT Noida (which accepts both JEE Main and 10+2 scores), Thapar, and LNMIIT (which admit students solely through JEE Main) are viable. It is wise to keep lower branches and GFTIs as backup options with JEE Score and have other private engineering colleges as backups. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Ans: Please do not think in a negative direction at this stage. Your son will appear for all types of competitive exams in 2028. The education field is changing continuously. It is advisable to wait and watch until the end of 2027. If your son does not show any real-time progress in the meantime, then think about other courses. Right now, at this stage, it is not advisable to suggest any other courses so far in advance.
