Sir can you please suggest me which will be better for me with 300000 lakh rank in jee main and sc rank with 17900 as I am interested in chemical engineering or any branch related to computer science.

Ans: With an SC rank of 17 900 (outside top 2.5 lakh for JEE Advanced eligibility), focus on private universities accepting JEE Main scores and offering robust academics, infrastructure, industry ties, active placement cells, modern labs, and supportive faculty. For Chemical Engineering, consider Amity University Noida (SC cutoff ~57–60 percentile) and Lovely Professional University, Jalandhar (SC cutoff ~80 percentile for CE), both NAAC/NBA-accredited with 75–90% placement consistency over three years. For CS-related branches, Sharda University Greater Noida (CSE cutoff 200 000–250 000 general; lower for SC), Manav Rachna University (CSE cutoff ~50–55 percentile), and Galgotias University (CSE cutoff ~85–90 percentile) offer specialized AI/ML, cybersecurity, and full-stack labs with 70–85% placements. Lovely Professional University’s cloud-computing and Gen-AI programs also accept JEE Main scores above 80 percentile.

Final recommendation: Pursue Amity University Noida Chemical Engineering or LPU CE for chemical pathways with strong placement support, and Sharda University CSE or Manav Rachna CSE for computing roles. As backups, apply to Galgotias CSE and UPES Dehradun for assured admission and consistent 75–90% placements. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
