Hello Sir my Son got 93.4 percentile general category in jee mains advanced he couldnt clear...he tried best for bits pilani but couldnt get satisfied score...his crl rank was 98856...he wanted to take drop this year but we were worried because of emerging competition every year..his 12th board score was 76 % ....finally he has got JEC Jabalpur IT branch ...because he wanted him to do his btech from a govt institution not a pvt one...please suggest as to what should he do in future for a bright carrer...JEC is in our hometown...& bit near to our residence
Ans: Hey, stay relaxed now that your son has gained admission to a good institute, JEC Jabalpur @ IT branch.
Your son has performed well and shown strong effort in JEE Mains. Since JEC has respectable academic standards and is located in your hometown, it’s a good decision to start his B.Tech there instead of taking another drop, especially given the increasing competition each year. Ask him to focus on building strong technical skills, coding, and practical knowledge alongside his academics. Encouraging him to take internships, participate in hackathons, and learn industry-demanded skills like AI, data science, or web development will help him stand out. Also, suggest he join some free and paid IT-related online courses offered by Coursera. With consistent effort, he can aim for good placements or even prepare for GATE, CAT, or higher studies abroad later for better opportunities.

Good luck.

Sir my daughter has rank in vir 49558 and jee mains rank 182200 crl and ews rank is 28200 what do I get in both
Ans: HI AJIT,
GREETINGS FROM REDIIFFGURUS!
Regarding your rank in the VITEEE, with a rank of 49,558, your admission chances for top-tier Computer Science programs at Vellore and Chennai are highly competitive. However, you do have excellent opportunities in core branches such as Civil, Mechanical, Biotech, and Chemical Engineering in categories 1 and 2 at both Vellore and Chennai campuses, as well as Computer Science Specializations at the Bhopal and Andhra Pradesh campuses.
For JEE, securing a seat for Computer Science Engineering (CSE) or Electronics at NITs and IIITs will be challenging based on your rank. Nevertheless, you have strong opportunities for less competitive branches in newer or North Eastern NITs, newer IIITs, and Government Funded Technical Institutions (GFTIs).

Here are some possibilities for you:

1. NITs:
- NIT Agartala: Production Engineering, Bio-Technology, or Chemical Engineering.
- NIT Mizoram/NIT Nagaland/NIT Arunachal Pradesh: Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, or Electrical Engineering.
- NIT Srinagar: Metallurgical and Materials Engineering, Chemical Engineering.
- NIT Raipur/NIT Jalandhar: Bio-Technology or Industrial & Production Engineering (possible in CSAB special rounds).

2. Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs):
- Target newer public-private partnership (PPP) model IIITs, particularly for Smart Manufacturing or specialized tech branches.
- IIITDM Jabalpur: Smart Manufacturing.
- IIIT Bhagalpur: Mechatronics Engineering.
- IIIT Manipur: Computer Science Engineering or Electronics & Communication Engineering (highly likely in CSAB special rounds).
- IIIT Kurnool: Mechanical Engineering (with specialization in Design and Manufacturing).

3. Government Funded Technical Institutions (GFTIs):
- Securing a seat in GFTIs is the safest route, with the highest probability for competitive branches like Computer Science (CSE) or Information Technology (IT).
- Assam University, Silchar: Agricultural Engineering or Computer Science Engineering.
- Gurukula Kangri Vishwavidyalaya, Haridwar: Computer Science Engineering or Mechanical Engineering.
- Mizoram University, Aizawl: Information Technology or Computer Engineering.
- Ghanshyam Singh Lodhi Institute (SLIET), Longowal: Chemical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering.
- Central University of Jammu/Central University of Rajasthan: Biomedical Engineering or computer-related fields in later spot rounds.

The choice is yours. If you are looking for CSE, consider opting for NE-NITs or GFTIs. Plan, participate, and seize the opportunities for your future career.

All the best!
