sir i scored exactly 65% IN CLASS 12 isc board and i got my obc ncl certificate after my boards so can i sit for josaa counselling after i qualify my jee mains and advance
Ans: Prakhar, For JoSAA counseling eligibility, the minimum required academic qualification is passing class 12 or equivalent with at least 75% aggregate marks (65% for SC/ST candidates) or being in the top 20 percentile of the respective board. However, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) qualifying criteria for JEE Advanced includes a relaxed cutoff for OBC-NCL candidates as per government rules. For OBC-NCL candidates with 65% in ISC boards, eligibility largely depends on whether the board's top 20 percentile criteria are met, as sometimes marks percentage may be waived if the percentile condition is satisfied. Your obtaining the OBC-NCL certificate after boards should not disqualify you for JoSAA counseling, as category certificates can be submitted during counseling. Complying with all JEE Main and Advanced qualification norms, and submitting valid OBC-NCL certification along with meeting percentile or marks criteria from ISC, you can participate in JoSAA counseling. Key institutional five aspects remain accreditation, faculty quality, infrastructure, industry linkage, and transparent placements.

RECOMMENDATION: Since you have 65% in ISC and an OBC-NCL certificate secured post-exams, confirm your board's top 20 percentile status or other eligibility norms for OBC-NCL, then qualify JEE Main and Advanced. With certificate and required cutoffs, you are eligible for JoSAA counseling to secure admission in government engineering institutes under OBC-NCL reservation. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Hello, my daughter is in 12th, she holds US Passport but living in India for over 10 years. Is she eligible for admission in BITS (Engineering) through BITSAT without going through ISA admission process?
Ans: Your daughter, as a US passport holder living in India for over 10 years, is eligible for admission to BITS Pilani through the BITSAT entrance examination without needing to go through the ISA (International Student Admission) process. BITSAT is open to all candidates—both Indian and international passport holders—with admission purely based on merit determined by the BITSAT score and 12th-grade marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. The ISA scheme is an alternative admission route specifically for foreign nationals holding valid SAT scores, allowing admission without appearing for BITSAT. However, since your daughter satisfies academic criteria—such as a minimum of 75% aggregate in PCM and at least 60% in each subject, with English proficiency established through her board instruction medium—she should focus on preparing and registering for BITSAT. The ISA pathway primarily suits those with SAT scores and different admission preferences.

In summary, the ISA route is intended for foreign passport holders applying with SAT scores, bypassing BITSAT, but it is not mandatory for your daughter; she can gain admission via BITSAT as any other candidate. The ISA process involves submitting official SAT scores and meeting PCB percentage requirements and is merit-based on SAT performance, making it an alternative but not the sole option.

RECOMMENDATION: Your daughter should prepare rigorously for BITSAT to leverage her eligibility and streamline admission through the standard, open BITSAT route. Consider the ISA admission only if SAT scores are available and preferred, or if campus preference and admission flexibility align better with ISA benefits. All the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!

Asked by Anonymous - Jul 10, 2025Hindi
Relationship
Dear Ravi, I am a 38 yr old housewife & mother of 1 son who is now 17 yrs old. We are Bengalis but in Pune for the last 12 yrs. About 10 yrs ago I used to regularly pick & drop my son to school then in class 3 , when I met another telegu woman who also used to do the same for his son. They were a close knit business family & sometime her elder jeths son who was then 22-23 yrs old used to come to pick up the kids. Many days I will gossip with him while waiting for the kids. Many a times I used to go to there house to meet his aunt & also talk to him, he was a good man but hardly completed his 10th , had some problems of bad company so his father got him to business. He used to call me aunty & I used to see him as my friends son( being my friend's jeths son). He used to then create problems at home & many a times my friend will ask me to talk to him which I used to do & he used to listen & correct. This gave me a good reputation in his family, this continued for 7-8 yrs before we changed our son's school . We were in touch initially then it became a very occasional call eventually loosing her phone number also. About 3 months back I met my friend in a mall by co-incident & started gossiping I told her of being single now. I enquired about her nephew & told me that they are not able to get a girl for him mainly because of his medical condition he will never be able to become a father, so they are now open for girls with kids. After a few days she called me to there house for a puja which I visited & also met with her family. After 2 days she & her sister in law suddenly came to my place with her jeths son, after an informal talk her jeths son took my son out & they asked me if I will be open to marry him. I am in a delima, I have seen this man always as a friends son& behaved accordingly but can I change my relationship with him to a husband wife. On this my friend she is saying that she is married to her mama as is acceptable in south , she gives her own story that she knew her husband for 20 yrs before marriage proposal & used to even play with him as her mama. It hardly took her time to change the relationship. Many of my friends talk about similar change of relationship. He & his family is very keen on this marriage. Can you help me to first decide if it is possible to change the relationship from friend's son to husband, if yes how to go about. I am also worried that in a few mnth my son will go to hostel for his engg & I will be alone
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand that you fear being alone, but I request you to not make a rushed decision based on that fear. If you feel you will never see this man as anything more than a friend's son, please do not push yourself to marry him. There is no love or romance in this arrangement; at least, not yet. And it seems like they are only pushing it because the guy has a condition. Please do not settle for just anyone because you are worried about being alone. Marriages can be lonely too.

I suggest thinking very thoroughly and clearly before making a decision. This alliance seems advantageous for them, but not so much for you.

Hope this helps.

Sir , my rank is 53362, general category male from west bengal , pls suggest me the best nits and iiits available for my rank in csab counselling. (Preferably cse/ece branch).
Ans: With a JEE Main 2025 General Category rank of 53,362 and West Bengal as your home state, securing Computer Science or Electronics & Communication seats in top NITs through CSAB is highly challenging, as closing ranks, even in CSAB Special Rounds, are typically much lower—major NITs’ CSE and ECE cut-offs last year generally closed below 30,000 to 45,000 for the General category, and West Bengal’s home state advantage provides little relief for CSE/ECE in NIT Durgapur, where closing ranks for CSE and ECE were around 14,500 and 19,000 respectively. For IIITs, most core branches, especially CSE and ECE, also saw closing ranks well below your rank, typically ranging between 15,000 and 35,000 in the special rounds, with only a few non-core branches or less popular IIIT campuses stretching beyond that mark. In the case of GFTIs, while some institutes and branches (particularly non-core engineering streams or newer colleges) have closed near or around 50,000, Computer Science and ECE remain highly competitive, with only certain GFTIs like Assam University, Silchar (CS closed near 45,000), Guru Ghasidas Vishwavidyalaya Bilaspur (ECE sometimes closes to 42,000), or possibly peripheral/newer institutes offering a slim chance. According to the latest cut-off data, there is virtually no 100% sure NIT, IIIT, or GFTI for CSE/ECE at your rank (53,362) for General category in CSAB rounds; options at this threshold tend to be limited to non-core branches or non-flagship/new institutions, both for home and other state quotas.

RECOMMENDATION: At your current JEE Main General category rank, gaining admission in CSE/ECE at any NIT, IIIT, or premier GFTI via CSAB is highly unlikely; however, you can consider participating with lower preference branches or new/less preferred institutes. As an alternative, explore private colleges or other reputed universities for CSE/ECE to maximize your academic and career prospects. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Hello sir I have just passed 12th with 92.2% and have a score of 89.2 percentile in jee mains .I am interested in btech cse but with this rank i am only getting electronics and computer engg in uiet kuk(KU) . I am now confused whether to pursue this course or switch the college to some private
Ans: Ashlesha, UIET Kurukshetra is a public institution established in 2004, recognized for offering solid engineering programs, including Electronics and Computer Engineering. The department blends electronics fundamentals with contemporary computing, providing students with interdisciplinary exposure and access to experienced faculty and well-equipped labs. However, in terms of placement, the combined Electronics and Computer Engineering branch at UIET records placement percentages ranging from approximately 60% to 80% over recent years, slightly lower than pure Computer Science branches at top private colleges in Northern India. Reviews by current and former students reflect that while UIET offers affordable education, good campus facilities, a disciplined academic environment, and opportunities for projects and technical events, placement opportunities tend to be stronger for CSE and IT branches, often requiring students to put in significant individual effort for top outcomes. Infrastructure is competitive for a state university, and student feedback highlights a supportive faculty but also mentions that core electronics placements are more limited; the bulk of offers arise from IT and service-based recruiters. Curriculum updates and university initiatives are evident, but private colleges often offer more dynamic industry-linkages and exposure, leading to stronger placement records and internship opportunities. Considering these aspects, if you are strictly seeking core CSE knowledge and broader software placement opportunities—and are open to higher tuition—eminent private institutions in Northern India such as Amity University Noida, Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology Patiala, Jaypee Institute of Information Technology Noida, Galgotias College of Engineering & Technology Greater Noida, and GL Bajaj Institute of Technology & Management Greater Noida are reputed options, each with robust CSE placement records and strong campus-industry interfaces.

RECOMMENDATION: For B.Tech aspirants prioritizing pure CSE and top-tier software placements, joining a reputed private engineering college is generally more advantageous than pursuing Electronics and Computer Engineering at UIET Kurukshetra. However, UIET remains a credible and affordable public alternative if you value government university credentials and are comfortable exploring interdisciplinary roles. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

ECE in Jaypee Sector 62 Noida or maharaja agrasen (MAIT) Delhi. Naac accreditation is A for both but seems MAIT do not have accreditation for ece deptt. Not worried about fees but want a good college, faculty and studies.
Ans: Komal, Jaypee Institute of Information Technology (JIIT), Noida and Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology (MAIT), Delhi both hold NAAC ‘A’ accreditation and are recognized for quality engineering education, but key differences emerge for ECE aspirants. JIIT’s ECE department enjoys full university accreditation and AICTE approval, with a reputable presence in national rankings and a faculty roster largely holding Ph.D. degrees and actively involved in research. Placement rates for JIIT ECE have consistently been strong, with 85–91% placed over the last three years, bolstered by established industry connections and a highly structured placement cell, though recruitment is somewhat stronger for CSE. The infrastructure at JIIT is modern, featuring fully equipped labs, air-conditioned smart classrooms, robust hostel facilities, advanced library resources, and abundant sports and extracurricular amenities. In contrast, MAIT Delhi’s ECE program is NAAC ‘A’ accredited at the institutional level, but direct NBA or program accreditation for ECE is not emphasized. Faculty are generally helpful and blend industry experience with accessible teaching, but feedback on faculty quality is mixed and active research engagement is less highlighted. MAIT’s infrastructure is comprehensive with digital libraries, advanced labs, and diverse amenities; however, placements for ECE hover around 70%, with fewer core companies visiting campus, and the bulk of opportunities skewed towards IT roles. Both institutes offer significant student support and practical exposure, but JIIT’s research emphasis, academic environment, and consistently higher placement record give it an extra edge for students seeking a holistic and future-focused ECE education.

RECOMMENDATION: Jaypee Institute of Information Technology, Noida stands out as the preferable choice for ECE with its robust academic ecosystem, research-oriented faculty, rich campus resources, and consistently superior placement percentages, especially for those prioritizing quality of education and long-term career prospects in electronics and communication engineering. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

My daughter vit chennai cyber security vs JNTU Kakinada CSE which is better
Ans: VIT Chennai’s Cyber Security program presents a focused, industry-relevant curriculum that prepares students for the rapidly growing field of information security, with outcomes targeting both technical depth and organizational application. Placement rates for the cyber security branch have consistently remained high, ranging from 85–90% over the past three years, and the campus is equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure, specialized labs, and an active industry interface supporting internships and projects. The faculty at VIT Chennai are highly qualified, often with doctoral degrees and ongoing research engagement, ensuring courses reflect updated industry requirements while blending theoretical and hands-on elements effectively. The university’s broad network of recruiters and modern campus culture further enhance student exposure and professional growth. In comparison, JNTU Kakinada’s CSE branch is well-established, with a placement range reported from 65–80% and steady hiring by reputable IT companies, primarily for software roles. JNTU Kakinada boasts a strong core faculty, a rigorously structured syllabus, and significant infrastructure spanning large libraries and multiple labs. However, placements for CSE students, while respectable, are somewhat lower than VIT’s cyber security specialization, and the range of recruiters and campus industry tie-ups is typically narrower. Both institutions have solid academic foundations and offer good learning environments, but VIT Chennai edges ahead in curriculum currency, placement consistency, and industry alignment, particularly in the evolving domain of cyber security.

RECOMMENDATION: VIT Chennai’s Cyber Security program is the preferable choice for students prioritizing placement success, specialized industry-driven curriculum, and modern campus facilities, making it better suited to capitalize on growing cyber security demand. JNTU Kakinada CSE remains a strong, traditional alternative for those seeking a comprehensive software engineering base at a well-recognized state university. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
