My Son Has JEE Rank 74400, Which College Should He Choose?

Ans: Your IAT score of 130 places you at the upper threshold of the expected general?category cutoff (120–130), making admission to IISER Bhopal highly competitive yet marginally possible if cutoffs dip to the lower end of this range and seat availability shifts; Bhopal’s general cutoff is anticipated at 120–125 marks in 2025, with previous years’ closing marks around 1177–2141 rank converting to scores near 130. If Bhopal seats fill above 130, IISER Tirupati becomes a secure option since its general cutoff is lower at 110–115 marks, corresponding to closing ranks of 1881–4325 across rounds. Recommendation: List IISER Bhopal first, and include IISER Tirupati as a strong backup given your 130 marks comfortably exceed Tirupati’s expected cutoff. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: HI
Did you participated in Josaa and AP eamcet. If not do it.

Ans: Suhaan, BITS Pilani enjoys a top-25 NIRF engineering rank with 89–91% placement rates for first-degree courses over the last three years and 300–320 recruiters per campus drive, reflecting strong core and software hiring breadth. SRM AP, established in 2017, reports 100% placement rates in CSE and ECE for 2023 with 800+ recruitment partners, though branch-specific CSE/ECE placements range 82–95% over the past three years, and 150–200 offers per annum. While BITS Pilani’s practice-school industry internships and alumni network ensure versatile career paths, SRM AP offers cost-effective fees (~?6.4 L total) and PSU recruitment via oil-and-gas majors alongside tech firms. SRM AP holds NIRF rank band 151–200 with NAAC A++ accreditation, whereas BITS Pilani is Institute of Eminence and deemed university with global academic acclaim. Recommendation: Join BITS Pilani for established brand prestige, broader recruiter mix, and consistent 90%+ placement depth; consider SRM AP only if budget constraints dominate or PSU-specific hiring is a priority. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Srishty, You can improve your 12th board percentage via UP Board’s improvement (compartment) exam or by registering as a private candidate to retake all subjects, both through the UPMSP portal from May 19 to June 10, 2025. Improvement exams allow re-attempting only failed subjects with a fee of ?306 per paper, whereas private candidature lets you re-enrol to redo the entire 12th course, requiring fresh registration, documentation, and ?4,000 board fee paid via demand draft to UP Board. Both routes reset your marks, but private candidature offers full?subject retake and hence higher scoring scope, while improvement exams are limited to maximum two or three failed subjects. For JEE Main/Advanced 2026 eligibility, you must secure ≥75% (general) or ≥65% (SC/ST) in Class 12 aggregate or top 20 percentile, and re-appearing privately gives full control over your board percentage. Recommendation: Opt for UP Board private candidature to re-take all subjects and maximize your chance of crossing the 75% threshold for JEE eligibility. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: At a COMEDK GM rank of 10 600, admission to Bangalore Institute of Technology (CSE closing rank ~4 100–4 500) and SIT Tumkur (CSE ~6 470–6 670) is unlikely. BMS Institute of Technology & Management Bangalore admits up to rank 48 530 but its CSE branch has averaged 77.3% placement over the last three years with 150–200 students placed annually by 180+ recruiters. Sir M Visvesvaraya Institute of Technology Bengaluru, accepting CSE ranks up to 23 135, ensures your admission and records over 90% CSE placement with 34–47 companies visiting each year including IT giants and core firms. Sir MVIT’s dedicated training cell integrates soft-skill and technical upskilling for rigorous interview preparedness. Considering your rank, cutoff accessibility, and superior branch-specific placement consistency, Sir MVIT Bangalore emerges as the optimal choice for Computer Science Engineering. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
