KCET RANK 40K &IMUCET RANK 492 WHICH TO PREFER

Ans: Sagar, Based on your KCET rank 40,000 and IMUCET rank 492, prioritize IMUCET for better career prospects. IMUCET rank 492 secures admission to core maritime programmes like B.Tech Marine Engineering at IMU Chennai/Navi Mumbai, which report 80–90% placement rates (2024) with recruiters like NYK Line, Chevron, and Anglo Eastern, offering stable careers in shipping and offshore industries. In contrast, KCET 40,000 limits options to non-core branches (Mechanical, Civil) at mid-tier colleges like Dayananda Sagar or BMSIT, with 60–70% placements in allied sectors. While IMUCET offers specialized, high-demand roles, KCET provides conventional engineering paths with regional flexibility. For backup, explore Tolani Maritime Institute (DNS programme) via IMUCET or state universities (e.g., JNTUA) via KCET for lower fees and moderate placements. Choose IMUCET for assured maritime careers; opt for KCET only if unwilling to pursue niche sectors. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir, my son is getting 99,956 rank in KCET, he also got 21,116 in MET and is getting Mechanical Engineering at MIT Manipal and got 68K rank in ComedK, please suggest which option is better.

Ans: Vishal Sir, as ranks of both KCET/COMEDK is behind, the only option left out is to accept MIT-Manipal for Mechanical. Just your son should make sure (after joining MIT) he focuses more on academics, upgrades his skill till his 4th year to be COMPETENT among other Students during Campus Recruitment Drive. All the BEST for Your Bright Future.

Thank you sir. Seeing the placement records of both I was quite confused which one to choose because kiit has a better placement record

Ans: Yes. But as MSIT provides both (AI & DS), you can choose either, based on your interest. If you still prefer AI & ML, can go for KIIT which is also good.

Sir, my son seems to have missed IITs or NITs this year although we are participating in the Josaa rounds. His CRL - 63337 in Mains & 25506 rank - Advance. He wants to pursue either ECE, CSE, DS-AI, EEE, EE etc..We will also participate in MHCET cap rounds however the rounds are delayed. His MHCET peecentile is 99.18. We will try for the best colleges in Maharashtra as we are from Mumbai General Open category. We also have a confirmed seat of CSE - VIT Chennai in hand however my son does not have more inclination to study in VIT. Sir, now my question is whether he can give Jee Mains & Advance in 2026 again without considering a drop. He will join a college this year based on CAP rounds but will forego his 1 yr in case he gets through next year. So whether this is possible Sir? If not, then he will continue his degree with the college which he takes this year.

Ans: As per the National Testing Agency (NTA) rules, candidates may appear for JEE Main up to six times over three consecutive years—two sessions each year—provided they passed Class 12 in 2024 or later and meet subject requirements. There is no upper age limit for Main attempts, and enrolling in a regular engineering program does not invalidate future Main attempts. For JEE Advanced, the Joint Admission Board permits a maximum of two attempts in two consecutive years for candidates who rank among the top 250,000 in JEE Main and first appeared in Class 12 in 2023, 2024, or 2025; admission to non-IIT institutions does not affect Advanced eligibility. MHT-CET likewise imposes no attempt limit, allowing repeated participation as long as candidates satisfy domicile and educational criteria each year. Therefore, your son can join a college this year via MHT-CET CAP rounds or accept the VIT Chennai seat and still sit for JEE Main and Advanced in 2026 without requiring a formal “drop year,” provided he retains eligibility and dedicates time to preparation alongside his regular coursework. Should he qualify in 2026, he may transfer through JoSAA; if not, he can continue his degree uninterrupted at the institution he joins this year.

recommendation: Enroll through Maharashtra CAP to secure admission this year while registering for JEE Main and Advanced 2026, balancing college commitments with a structured prep schedule and clear target milestones to maximize re-attempt success. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Dear Sir, Between IIIT Dharwad CSE and Thapar college CSE, which option would be better

Ans: Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (TIET) Patiala offers a well-established CSE program with a strong legacy, NAAC A+ accreditation, and a robust placement record—83% in 2023, with over 1,800 job offers and top recruiters like Microsoft, Amazon, and Deloitte. The department is noted for its industry-aligned curriculum, cutting-edge research, and global exposure. IIIT Dharwad, though newer, is an Institute of National Importance with a modern campus and updated CSE curriculum. Its placement rates have ranged from 62% to 77% in the last three years, with top recruiters including Amazon, IBM, and Infosys, and a growing reputation for industry-oriented training. However, Thapar’s CSE program has a broader alumni network, more consistent placement outcomes, and a higher national brand value. IIIT Dharwad’s infrastructure is strong and improving, but its placement rates and industry connections are still catching up to older, established institutes like Thapar.

recommendation: Prefer Thapar Patiala CSE for its proven placement record, established reputation, comprehensive campus experience, and strong industry connections, especially if you value stability, alumni support, and long-term career prospects. Consider IIIT Dharwad only if you specifically seek a newer IIT-like environment and are comfortable with a developing placement ecosystem. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Can I get any iiser with 2543 my ews rank

Ans: Swati, With an EWS rank of 2,543 in IAT 2025, your chances of securing admission to any IISER are extremely low. Recent and official round-wise closing ranks for the EWS category at all IISER campuses—including newer ones like Berhampur and Tirupati—have consistently closed below 650, with the highest EWS closing ranks in 2024 being 642 (Tirupati) and 629 (Berhampur). The expected EWS cutoff marks for 2025 are 100–120, and candidates above 1,500 EWS rank have not received offers in any of the last three years. The total number of seats is limited and competition has increased, with most seats filled well before your rank range. Even in extended and spot rounds, EWS closing ranks have not exceeded 700 at any campus, and seat availability is further restricted by reservation policies and high demand. recommendation: IISER admission is not feasible at your current EWS rank; focus on alternative science institutes, state universities, or private colleges to continue your academic journey without delay. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

I have secured 9000 rank in sc category in IAT can get admission in any iiser?

Ans: With an SC category rank of 9,000 in IAT 2025, admission to any IISER is not possible. Analysis of official and recent cutoffs shows that the closing SC ranks for all IISER campuses—including the newer ones like Berhampur and Tirupati—are consistently below 1,000, with most cutoffs for SC candidates ranging from 234 to 933 in the last rounds and rarely exceeding 1,000 even in extended rounds. The expected SC cutoff marks for 2025 are 65–75, and your rank is significantly beyond the range considered for seat allotment at any IISER campus. The total number of seats and the high competition for reserved category seats further limit your chances, as the seat matrix is fixed and demand is high. recommendation: IISER admission is not feasible at this rank; focus on alternative science or engineering institutes, state universities, or private colleges to continue your academic journey without delay. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hello sir, chemical engineering in NIT allahabad or ECE in igdtuw delhi. Which one is better? Please suggest.

Ans: Chemical Engineering at NIT Allahabad (MNNIT) is highly regarded, with consistent 100% placement rates in recent years, strong industry connections, and an average placement rate above 90% since 2020. The program offers a robust curriculum and good research opportunities, and the campus has a national reputation for engineering excellence. Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) at IGDTUW Delhi is also a strong choice, especially for women, with above 80% placement rates, a modern curriculum, and top recruiters like Amazon and Microsoft participating in campus placements. IGDTUW is recognized for its academic rigor, research exposure, and empowering campus environment for women, and it consistently ranks among the top women’s technical universities in India. While both options offer excellent placement records and industry exposure, NIT Allahabad has a broader alumni network and national brand value, which can be advantageous for core engineering and interdisciplinary roles, whereas IGDTUW’s ECE program offers strong tech placements and a supportive environment for women in STEM.

recommendation: Choose Chemical Engineering at NIT Allahabad if you prefer a nationally reputed institute with a strong legacy, diverse opportunities, and excellent placements in core and interdisciplinary sectors. Opt for ECE at IGDTUW if you value a women-centric, urban campus with a tech-focused curriculum and strong placement outcomes in electronics, IT, and allied industries. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir my daughter got seat in BTech Computer Engineering in Thaper Patiala and Scaler school of technology. Which would we prefer.

Ans: Ajay Sir, Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology, Patiala, is a well-established institution with a strong reputation, A+ NAAC accreditation, and a legacy since 1956. Its Computer Engineering department boasts modern infrastructure, a research-driven curriculum aligned with ACM/IEEE standards, and strong industry connections, reflected in an 83% placement rate and over 1,800 job offers in 2023, with top recruiters from global tech companies. Scaler School of Technology, though new, has quickly emerged as an industry-focused program with a 96.3% internship placement rate for its first batch, a modern curriculum designed with tech leaders, intensive project-based learning, and mentorship from top professionals, aiming to bridge the gap between academic learning and industry needs. While Thapar offers the stability, alumni network, and holistic campus life of a traditional university, Scaler provides cutting-edge, hands-on training and strong early industry alignment but lacks the long-term track record of established institutions.

recommendation: Prefer Thapar Patiala for its proven placement record, established reputation, and comprehensive campus experience, especially if you value stability and a strong alumni network. Consider Scaler School of Technology only if you prioritize a start-up-like, industry-immersive approach and are comfortable with the risks and opportunities of a new institution. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
