Sir , my name is zainul khan. I am recently done my class 12th in 2024 with PCM . I got 91.4% in my 12th board. The issue is that I didn't give any entrance exam for college's because of some false advice my class 12th teacher give me . He said that you have to tottly focused on your 12th board and for college you took 1 year drop and in that year you have to prepare for exam like jee etc . At that time I tottly believed in his words but now the problem is I am already 19 and if I take drop than I am 20 in my first semester of college and 21 in my second semester. I am really confused what should I do . I am interested in doing btech in cse . Guide me.

Ans: There are 3-Options:

Option-1: Some students take even 2-drops. You can take a drop but already this month is August and the 1st JEE will be conducted by January-February for which you have only / hardly 6-7 months to prepare. Slightly difficult to get a good percentile/rank in JEE-M & JEE-A.

Option-2: Try to get admission into BTech-CSE with any Tier-2 Private local college or in any college in and around your State with your 12th Board marks. Some colleges might consider.

Option-3: To go for a Management Quota Seat which will be costly depending upon the college you choose.

All the BEST for Your Bright Future.

Hi My daughter get 72 percentile in jee mains 1 i dont know what happened to her otherwise she is a good student scored 94% in her 10th boards ..if i will look for some private engineering college in india pls suggest i will go with pune or will look for management quota seat for csc from banglore. Pls suggest preference order of btech college in banglore
Ans: Hello Vandana.
Requesting you not to panic at this early stage. Let her appear for JEE session 2 and the state-level engineering entrance test. Let all the results out. You have ample time to think about the available options for engineering admission. At this stage, no need to think about management quota unless and until you want a particular branch in a particular college. Depending on her score in upcoming exams, she may get admission to reputed engineering either in Pune or Bengaluru
Here are some colleges in Bengaluru: (1) R.V. College of Engineering (RVCE) (2) B.M.S. College of Engineering (BMSCE) (3) M.S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology (MSRIT) (4) PES University (5) Bangalore Institute of Technology (BIT) (6) Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering (DSCE) (7) Sir M. Visvesvaraya Institute of Technology (SMVIT) (8) BMS Institute of Technology and Management (BMSIT&M) (9) Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology (NMIT) (10) RNS Institute of Technology (RNSIT)
Suggestion - Don't panic. Keep cool yourself. Ask your daughter to focus more on JEE 2nd attempt and state-level engineering entrance test.

If you are satisfied with the reply, pl follow me or else ask again without hesitation.
Thanks
Radheshyam
