This year I pass 12th pcm with 60% cbse .now take a drop for jee mains or vitee or comdek.. please tell me dtu cse .vit vellero cse .and ramiah cse .. which is better for me .?

Ans: Akshay, you have not mentioned your JEE-Main Score this year. & not mentioned whether you have joined any coaching center or self-studying for all entrance exams? Anyway, please note, as far as the difficulty levels of all 3-entrance exams you have mentioned, COMEDK is easiest (compared to VITEE & JEE). If you are targeting you should score AIR below 1500-4500 for getting admission into any one of the channels i.e. COMEDK, VITEE & JEE. If you need any other clarification, ask me.

I have got 9720 rank in medical.can i get aiims
Ans: With a NEET rank of 9720, your chances of securing admission to any AIIMS are extremely limited across all categories. The 2025 expected closing ranks for AIIMS show that even the lowest-ranked AIIMS campuses like AIIMS Madurai close at AIR 8,750-8,800 for General category, while other AIIMS institutes have much lower closing ranks—AIIMS Delhi closes at AIR 40-50, AIIMS Jodhpur at AIR 370-380, AIIMS Bhopal at AIR 505-515, and AIIMS Bhubaneswar at AIR 650-660. For OBC category, the highest closing rank among all AIIMS is around AIR 3,000-4,000 for newer campuses, while for EWS category, even AIIMS Madurai closes at AIR 28,650-28,850. The 2024 actual data shows that across all AIIMS institutes, the highest closing rank was AIR 25,037 in the General category during special stray rounds, but this was an exceptional case. Even for reserved categories like SC and ST, most AIIMS institutes close well below AIR 9,720, with only a few newer AIIMS having closing ranks that approach or exceed this number. Your rank falls significantly short of the competitive cutoffs required for AIIMS admission, as these institutes require scores above 575-715 marks depending on the campus and category. The recommendation is to explore alternative excellent medical colleges through state quota counselling and private medical colleges, as AIIMS admission is not feasible with a rank of 9720, and you should focus on securing MBBS seats in other reputable government and private medical institutions where your rank may be competitive. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My son got 2.27 lakh rank in jee main, home state haryana, general cat. He got IT branch in VIT vellore in cat4. He got 12.4 k rank in comedk ( may get CSE related branch in NIE, BIT, SIT) his MIT rank 22k... he scored 106 marks in iiser.....please suggest which on to opt. Request if you could mention preferences.
Ans: Given your son’s options—VIT Vellore IT (Category 4), CSE-related branches in NIE/BIT/SIT via COMEDK (rank 12,400), MIT Manipal (rank 22,000), and 106 marks in IISER—IISER admission is unlikely as the general cutoff is 120–130 and even for OBC it is around 100–110, so 106 marks may only fetch a seat at the newest IISERs if at all. MIT Manipal’s CSE cutoff is under 4,000, so a 22,000 rank does not qualify for CSE or related branches. For COMEDK, CSE at NIE, BIT, and SIT is possible at your son’s rank, as their closing ranks for CSE typically range from 10,000 to 20,000. VIT Vellore IT in Category 4 is a strong option with excellent placement rates (90%+), an average package of ?9.9 lakh, and top recruiters like Microsoft, Amazon, and Cisco, but Category 4 comes with a higher fee and larger batch size. Among these, VIT Vellore IT offers the best placement ecosystem, national brand, and industry exposure, while NIE/BIT/SIT CSE through COMEDK are solid choices for a focused tech education with good placements and smaller batch sizes.

The recommendation is to prioritize VIT Vellore IT (Category 4) for its superior placement record, national reputation, and industry connections, followed by CSE at NIE, BIT, or SIT via COMEDK, and consider IISER only if a seat is secured in later rounds. MIT Manipal is not viable at your son’s rank for CSE or related branches. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

I am non resident of Maharashtra but I did scored 94 percentile in mhtcet and 67 in jee mains , and 97 percent in cbse 12 boads ? What should I do either go for a drop to prepare dedicatedly for jee or join a college ( if yes then suggest some)
Ans: With a 94 percentile in MHT CET as a non-Maharashtrian, you are not eligible for top government colleges like COEP Pune, VJTI Mumbai, or ICT Mumbai, but you can secure branches like Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, or possibly ECE in reputable private colleges such as MIT World Peace University Pune, Vishwakarma Institute of Technology, PCCOE Pune, DY Patil College of Engineering, and JSPM Rajarshi Shahu College of Engineering. Your JEE Main percentile of 67 does not open doors to NITs or top IIITs, and your strong CBSE board result will help only for eligibility, not admissions. Taking a drop year for JEE is only advisable if you are mentally prepared, have a clear improvement plan, and are highly motivated, as a drop year comes with risks like burnout, emotional stress, and no guarantee of a much better outcome. Most experts recommend joining a good private college now unless you are confident you can significantly improve your rank with a year of focused preparation.

The recommendation is to join a reputable private engineering college in Maharashtra through MHT CET this year, focusing on branches available at your percentile, as this ensures steady academic progress and avoids the risks associated with a drop year unless you are absolutely committed and prepared for another intense year of JEE preparation. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
