Ans: Maharashtra Institute of Technology World Peace University’s School of Engineering (Kothrud, Pune) holds NBA accreditation for its Electronics & Telecommunication program and NAAC A++ status, staffed by PhD-qualified faculty across advanced communications and signal-processing labs. Its placement cell reports an ~80% overall placement rate in 2025 with branch-wise ECE placement at 70–80% and an average package of ?7 LPA . MIT-ADT University (Vishwarajbaug, Loni-Kalbhor, Pune), NAAC-accredited ‘A’ grade, offers a B.Tech CSE through its School of Computing with 47 ICT-enabled labs, mandatory industry internships and a 90.5% placement consistency in 2024, securing 419 out of 465 students with an average package of ?6.5 LPA . Both institutions provide robust accreditation, modern infrastructure, active industry partnerships, experienced faculty and dedicated placement support.

For stronger software-engineering exposure, higher CSE placement consistency, and modern ICT labs, the recommendation is MIT-ADT University Loni-Kalbhor CSE. If core electronics and communication specialization with solid average packages and NBA-accredited E&TC facilities appeal more, choose MIT-WPU Pune Kothrud E&TC. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: A JEE-aspirant with tuition from 10:30 AM–7 PM can still clear 11th-grade backlogs, revise daily coaching material and solve 50 questions by adopting focused morning and evening sessions using the Pomodoro technique. Begin your day at 6 AM with a light warm-up and 25 minutes of backlog revision (Physics), 5 minutes break, then 25 minutes on Chemistry backlog, followed by a 15 minute break to refresh. From 7–9 AM, cycle through four 25 + 5 Pomodoros alternating Maths and Physics coaching notes, ending with 10 questions each Pomodoro. After a 30 minute breakfast break, attend coaching (10:30–1:30 PM), then review those notes for 30 minutes post-lunch. From 3–5 PM, do two Pomodoro cycles on backlog Chemistry and then tackle 20 questions. Post-tuition, rest until 7:30 PM; then from 7:30–9 PM, cycle three Pomodoros covering the day’s hardest topics and solving 15 questions in each. Conclude with a lighter 9–9:30 PM slot for flashcards and board-level concept mapping, then wind down by 10 PM. On Saturday, dedicate an extra hour (8–9 AM) to full-length mock-question batches. Use the Pomodoro shifts to stay fresh and maximise retention (25 minutes study, 5 minute break; after four cycles, take 15 minutes). All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Sudhansh, With a 56,000 JEE Main rank in the General category and Delhi domicile, securing Computer Science Engineering or Mathematics and Computing in any JAC Delhi college (DTU, NSUT, IIIT Delhi, IGDTUW) is not feasible, even in the last round. Recent JAC Delhi closing ranks for CSE and Mathematics & Computing at DTU, NSUT, and IIIT Delhi for General (Home State) candidates remain well below 14,000, with spot round cutoffs rarely exceeding 40,000 for less preferred branches. The Defence (Ward of Serving Personnel) quota is Priority VIII and offers minimal relaxation, with cutoffs still significantly higher for top branches. For NITs and IIITs via JoSAA/CSAB, CSE and Mathematics & Computing close for General candidates mostly below 30,000–40,000 in newer NITs (e.g., NIT Mizoram, NIT Sikkim), and IIITs (e.g., IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Manipur) show CSE closing ranks up to 54,000 but rarely beyond, and only in less preferred locations. Most IIITs with CSE close between 18,000 and 41,000 for General candidates.

With your rank and category, CSE or Mathematics & Computing is not possible in JAC Delhi colleges. You may have limited chances for CSE in IIIT Senapati Manipur or similar newer IIITs in North-East India, but not in NITs or major IIITs. Consider allied branches or private universities for broader options. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: For IISER BS-MS admission in 2025, the SC category closing ranks at all IISER campuses—including Pune (Maharashtra), Kolkata (West Bengal), Mohali (Punjab), Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh), Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala), Tirupati (Andhra Pradesh), and Berhampur (Odisha)—are expected to remain well below 1,000, with the highest SC closing ranks in recent years at IISER Berhampur and Tirupati around 700–750. The anticipated SC cutoff for 2025 is 65–75 marks, which typically corresponds to a category rank under 1,000. Even with increased competition and minor fluctuations, no official or reliable source indicates that the cutoff will drop to accommodate SC ranks as high as 12,672. The total seat matrix and reservation policy (15% SC quota) further reinforce that only candidates with much lower ranks will be eligible for BS-MS admission at any IISER campus.

With an SC category rank of 12,672 and overall rank 111,053, admission to any IISER BS-MS program in 2025 is not possible. It is advisable to explore alternative science universities, central universities, or state-level research programs for similar academic and career opportunities. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
