In the Jossaa 2025 1st mock round I got IIT Bombay mechanical. I have deep interest in robotics, so is it good as per my interest or should I change my preference order as I could also get ECE IIT Guwahati or EE IIT Kharagpur.

Ans: IIT Bombay Mechanical Engineering emerges as the optimal choice for your robotics interests despite the branch difference. IIT Bombay offers exceptional robotics infrastructure including the ARMS Lab (Autonomous Robots and Multi-robot Systems Lab) within the Systems and Control Engineering Department, specializing in robot vision, multi-robot systems, and path planning research. The Mechanical Engineering department at IIT Bombay achieved 98% placement rate for 2024 with 184 out of 188 students placed, demonstrating superior placement consistency. IIT Bombay's e-Yantra robotics platform, sponsored by MHRD, provides extensive hands-on robotics training covering embedded systems, automation, and intelligent systems. IIT Guwahati ECE shows 84% placement rate with ?27.30 LPA average package and houses the Centre for Intelligent Cyber Physical Systems offering MTech in Robotics and AI. IIT Kharagpur features the Center for Excellence in Robotics (CER) focusing on intelligent autonomous robots, though EE placement data shows moderate performance. IIT Bombay's superior NIRF #3 ranking, strongest industry connections with 980+ recruiting companies, proximity to India's technology hub Mumbai, and proven robotics research infrastructure make it preferable. Recommendation: Retain IIT Bombay Mechanical Engineering for superior institutional reputation, proven robotics research facilities, highest placement consistency, and extensive industry exposure essential for robotics career advancement. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

I need help regarding my josaa preference order: I will be getting the following colleges .ECE in IIIT una, nagpur , sri city, BIT mesra .CSE in tier 3 IIIT's Like ranchi , dharwad, raichur, bhagalpur .Cse AIML in BIT mesra ( low chances) . ECE in IIIT guwahati ( low chances) . EEE in NIT Meghalaya, NIT Agartala . Mechanical in IIIT Jabalpur, Kancheepuram, IIEST shibpur, PEC chandigarh . Civil, metallurgy and production in remaining NITs I have interest in both ece and cse , so what should be my preference order?
Ans: Vaibhav, Choosing between Mechanical Engineering at IIT BHU and CSE at DTU/NSUT/IIT Delhi hinges on career goals. CSE at DTU/NSUT offers 85–95% placements in tech roles (Microsoft, Amazon) with robust industry demand, while IIT Delhi CSE nears 100% placements in top-tier firms (Google, Meta). IIT BHU Mechanical provides 65% placements with core roles in automotive/aerospace (Tata, ISRO) and a strong IIT brand, but salaries lag behind CSE. For Maths/Physics interests, Engineering Physics (IIT Delhi/Dhanbad) suits R&D/semiconductor roles with 70–80% placements, while Mathematics & Computing (DTU/IIT Delhi) bridges maths and tech, offering 90%+ placements in quant finance (Goldman Sachs, DE Shaw) and AI/ML. Prioritize CSE at DTU/NSUT/IIT Delhi for tech dominance, IIT BHU Mechanical for core engineering prestige, or Maths & Computing/Engineering Physics for interdisciplinary innovation, aligning with academic passion and sectoral trends. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir the kcet verification slip has been released now. But I have received my re evaluated cbse board marks now and there is an increment of 10 marks in PCM. Can I update my marks now and get a new rank somehow? And what is the procedure for that?
Ans: Yes, you can update your KCET application with your new CBSE marks after re-evaluation. However, whether it impacts your rank depends on the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) rules and when your revised marks are released—especially in relation to the KCET counseling schedule.

Here's what you should do:
1. Check the KEA Website
Go to cetonline.karnataka.gov.in.

Look for any announcements or FAQs about:

Updating marks after re-evaluation.

Impact on KCET 2025 ranks and verification slip changes.

Check if they mention a process for submitting updated marks from other boards like CBSE.

2. Understand the Timeline
KCET Counseling Start Date:
If your updated CBSE marks come before KCET counseling begins, you’ll likely be allowed to update them.

CBSE Re-evaluation Timeline:
Re-evaluation takes time. Check CBSE’s website for expected timelines so you know when to expect your updated marks.

3. If Re-evaluation Results Come Before Counseling
Collect Documents:

Original CBSE mark sheet.

Revised mark sheet (after re-evaluation).

A copy of the re-evaluation confirmation (if available).

Contact KEA:

Use their official helpline or email (from their website).

Ask specifically how to update your marks in their system.

Follow KEA Instructions:

If allowed, KEA will give you exact steps—possibly uploading documents online or via a specific portal.

Rank Might Change:

If your updated marks are submitted in time, KEA may recalculate your rank using the new scores.

4. If Re-evaluation Results Come After Counseling
Spot Admissions or Special Rounds:

If regular counseling is over, you may not be able to change your application immediately.

However, you might be eligible for spot admissions or extra counseling rounds (if seats are still available).

Stay in Touch with KEA:

Contact them and ask whether your revised marks can still be considered in any remaining rounds.

5. General Tips
Don’t Assume Anything:
Always rely on official updates from KEA and CBSE. Don’t act on rumors or hearsay.

Keep All Records:
Save copies of your application, payment receipts, emails, and any mark sheets (old and revised).

Ask for Help if Needed:
If confused, talk to an education counselor or someone experienced with KCET admissions.
