I have passed my class 10 in 2023 and class 12th with PCB in 2025 , then i change my stream to PCM and giving boards this year( and i am confident that i will get 75% easily) and got 98.55 percentile in jee.. So my question is if i am eligible for jossa counselling or not? If yes , what i will say when then ask for reason of 3 year gap between class 10 and 12(pcm) ,? Note- i didnt study class 11 maths , i directly give boards as a regular school going student .

Ans: With a CRL rank of 59,573 for a general category female candidate from Telangana, admission to NIT Warangal through JoSAA is very unlikely, even for lower-preference branches, as recent female cutoffs have generally been much better. Realistic chances are mainly in lower-demand branches at newer NITs, some GFTIs, and possibly a few IIIT non-CSE/non-ECE branches, depending on seat movement in 2026. It is advisable to fill choices widely, including NITs in the Northeast, Puducherry/Karaikal, Andhra Pradesh lower branches, GFTIs like Assam University and PEC lower branches, and IIITs with non-core branches. Additionally, applying for CSAB Special Rounds after JoSAA is recommended, as vacant-seat cutoffs may relax. For stronger backup options beyond JoSAA/JEE, consider Telangana and Andhra Pradesh EAPCET counseling and private colleges in Telangana such as CBIT, VNR VJIET, Vasavi, CVR, GRIET, and MGIT to improve admission chances without relying solely on the competitive JoSAA process. ALL the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!
