Namasthe sir My daughter belongs to obc ncl categary her all india rank in mains is 92180 and category rank is 29244 can you please suggest me college can be expected iam from lower middle class background cannot afford higher payble colleges, finally she is merit student from Andhrapradesh
Ans: Md Sir, Here is, How to Predict Your Daughter's Chances of Admission into NIT or IIIT or GFTI After JEE Main/Advanced Results – A Step-by-Step Guide

Providing precise admission chances for each student can be challenging. Some reputed educational websites offer ‘College Predictor’ tools where you can check possible college options based on your percentile, category, and preferences. However, for a more accurate understanding, here’s a simple yet effective 9-step method using JoSAA’s past-year opening and closing ranks. This approach gives you a fair estimate (though not 100% exact) of your admission chances based on the previous year’s data.

Step-by-Step Guide to Check Your Admission Chances Using JoSAA Data
Step 1: Collect Your Key Details
Before starting, note down the following details:

Your JEE Main percentile
Your category (General-Open, SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS, PwD categories)
Preferred institute types (NIT, IIIT, GFTI)
Preferred locations (or if you're open to any location in India)
List of at least 3 preferred academic programs (branches) as backups (instead of relying on just one option)
Step 2: Access JoSAA’s Official Opening & Closing Ranks
Go to Google and type: JoSAA Opening & Closing Ranks 2024
Click on the first search result (official JoSAA website).
You will land directly on JoSAA’s portal, where you can enter your details to check past-year cutoffs.
Step 3: Select the Round Number
JoSAA conducts five rounds of counseling.
For a safer estimate, choose Round 4, as most admissions are settled by this round.
Step 4: Choose the Institute Type
Select NIT, IIIT, or GFTI, depending on your preference.
If you are open to all types of institutes, check them one by one instead of selecting all at once.
Step 5: Select the Institute Name (Based on Location)
It is recommended to check institutes one by one, based on your preferred locations.
Avoid selecting ‘ALL’ at once, as it may create confusion.
Step 6: Select Your Preferred Academic Program (Branch)
Enter the branches you are interested in, one at a time, in your preferred order.
Step 7: Submit and Analyze Results
After selecting the relevant details, click the ‘SUBMIT’ button.
The system will display Opening & Closing Ranks of the selected institute and branch for different categories.
Step 8: Note Down the Opening & Closing Ranks
Maintain a notebook or diary to record the Opening & Closing Ranks for each institute and branch you are interested in.
This will serve as a quick reference during JoSAA counseling.
Step 9: Adjust Your Expectations on a Safer Side
Since Opening & Closing Ranks fluctuate slightly each year, always adjust the numbers for safety.
Example Calculation:
If the Opening & Closing Ranks for NIT Delhi | Mechanical Engineering | OPEN Category show 8622 & 26186 (for Home State), consider adjusting them to 8300 & 23000 (on a safer side).
If the Female Category rank is 34334 & 36212, adjust it to 31000 & 33000.
Follow this approach for Other State candidates and different categories.
Pro Tip: Adjust your expected rank slightly lower than the previous year's cutoffs for realistic expectations during JoSAA counseling.

Can This Method Be Used for JEE April & JEE Advanced?
Yes! You can repeat the same steps after your April JEE Main results to refine your admission possibilities.
You can also follow a similar process for JEE Advanced cutoffs when applying for IITs.

Have some other options also as back-ups instead of relying only on JEE/JoSAA.

Sir with 289 in BITs what branch my ward an get ... we have got in Josaa round2 CSE in NIT Goa and Cse in Manipal main campus ...which we shall go for kindly guide
Ans: Sharma, With 289 marks in BITSAT 2025, your ward can secure admission at BITS Goa and BITS Hyderabad campuses. The expected cutoffs for 289 marks include: BITS Goa - Electronics & Communication Engineering (252-293), Electrical & Electronics Engineering (247-283), Mechanical Engineering (216-260), or Chemical Engineering (197-245); BITS Hyderabad - Electronics & Communication Engineering (258-296), Electrical & Electronics Engineering (246-290), Mechanical Engineering (209-260), Chemical Engineering (197-245), or Civil Engineering (195-240). With this score, Computer Science and Engineering remains inaccessible at all BITS campuses as cutoffs range from 279-316 at BITS Goa to 288-308 at BITS Hyderabad. NIT Goa's Computer Science Engineering achieved 86.36% placement in 2024 with an average of ?11.02 LPA, while CSE recorded 100% placement in 2022-23 with ?13.4 LPA average package. Manipal Institute of Technology main campus CSE maintains 77% placement rate for 2025 with an overall average package of ?11.76 LPA, supported by 230+ recruiters including Amazon, Microsoft, and Bosch, though branch-specific CSE data shows approximately 81% placement with ?13.1 LPA average. Both NIT Goa and Manipal offer robust placement support, modern infrastructure, and industry connections, but NIT Goa provides government institute prestige while Manipal offers superior campus facilities and larger recruiter diversity.

Recommendation: Choose NIT Goa CSE for its consistent 100% placement record in recent years, prestigious government institute status, and strong average packages; opt for Manipal main campus CSE if you prefer superior infrastructure, larger recruiter base, and private university flexibility, though placement rates are comparatively lower than NIT Goa's proven track record. With 289 marks in BITSAT 2025, your ward can secure admission at BITS Goa and BITS Hyderabad campuses.

All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
