"I graduated in June 2024 and am currently preparing for CAT 2025. Will this be considered a 1-year gap or a 2-year gap?"

Ans: Graduated in June 2024 and preparing for CAT 2025, there is typically a 1-year gap of 1.5 years. However, if you take admission in 2026 after clearing CAT 2025, it may appear longer on paper but can be justified as a focused preparation period. All The BEST for Your Prosperous Future.

Sir I am arushi I have got 96.21 percentile in jee mains and ews rank 8083 crl - 57404 home state up Will there are chances to get nit/ iiits Cse/ece/ electrical branch. Also how is production and industrial engineering at mnnit Allahabad . Minning engineering at nit rourkela or at nit surathkal is best. Integrated msc in mathematics at nit rourkela should i take it ?

Ans: Hello Arushi
(1) You might have a better chance of getting lower-tier NITs and several IIITs for branches like ECE or Electrical, but getting CSE in top NITs can be challenging. (2) Consider IIITs such as Nagpur, Pune, or other lower-tier IIITs for CSE. Production & Industrial Engineering at MNNIT Allahabad is strong. (3) Mining at Surathkal is generally regarded as better. The integrated MSc Mathematics at NIT Rourkela is academically valuable but has limited core placements, so choose it only if you’re interested in higher studies or research.

Good luck.
