67% in 12th? Can my son still excel in Data Science?

Ans: HI SUSHEEL,
GREETINGS FROM REDIFFGURUS!

Based on your daughter's rank in the JEE, securing admission to Computer Science or core circuit branches (ECE/EEE) in top-tier NITs (like Trichy, Surathkal, or Warangal) is challenging. However, there are strong chances for core engineering, metallurgy, or production branches in mid-to-lower tier NITs, as well as decent options in newer NITs.

Based on the expected JoSAA closing ranks for the EWS category, the following institutes and branches are highly probable:

Mid-Tier NITs (Core Branches: Mechanical, Civil, Chemical, Production):
- VNIT Nagpur (Mechanical / Civil)
- NIT Bhopal (Civil / Metallurgical & Materials)
- NIT Jalandhar (Industrial & Production / Textile Technology)
- SVNIT Surat (Civil Engineering)
- NIT Calicut (Civil / Production)

Newer/Lower-Tier NITs (Circuital & Core Branches):
- NIT Meghalaya (Electrical / Mechanical)
- NIT Agartala (Electrical / ECE)
- NIT Manipur / Nagaland / Mizoram (CSE / ECE)
- NIT Srinagar (Electrical / Mechanical)
- NIT Puducherry (Electrical / Electronics & Instrumentation)
- NIT Goa (Electrical / Civil)

Please actively participate in the counseling process to achieve your goals.

All the best!
