Dear sir, with a rank of 60000 in JEE mains, what are the computer science / allied B Tech courses my daughter is likely to get through JAC Delhi? Delhi is her home state, and she is general category. Is there a possibility of getting one of those courses in DTU or NSUT?

Ans: At 60,000, it is extremely unlikely to get any core or allied CS branch in DTU or NSUT.
IGDTUW (for Girls only) - have a chance
IIIT Delhi (through JAC) - almost zero chance
You may still consider:

Private universities in NCR like Shiv Nadar, NIIT University, or even IPU-affiliated colleges through separate counseling.

Or look at Amity University Noida (CSE/AI/IT) – these will be available at this rank.

Hello sir D y Patil international university review ? As my son secured in CSE?should I take admission
Ans: Sunita Madam, D Y Patil International University, Pune, is a UGC-recognized state private university, offering NBA-aligned CSE under PhD-qualified faculty and featuring modern computing, digital library, auditorium, sports, healthcare and hostel amenities on its Wi-Fi campus. Its placement cell engages 200+ recruiters annually, delivering over 300 job offers in 2023 with average package around ?5.2 LPA and median 7.3 LPA, achieving approximately 75–83% CSE placement consistency over three years. The curriculum includes industry internships and project-based learning, while a makerspace and conference facilities foster innovation. However, as a relatively new private university, alumni networks and long-term brand equity remain in development, and core software recruiters are fewer compared to established institutes. Some students report variable lab utilization and placement support depth, with about 55% CSE cohort placements in certain years. Research outputs and national rankings for computing are nascent, and AICTE approval finalization could impact program perceptions.

Recommendation:
For strong infrastructure, UGC recognition, and decent placement support in CSE, recommendation is to consider D Y Patil International University, provided you complement university resources with self-driven internships, network building, and skills enhancement. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir I got 94.09 percentile in mhcet pcm , which college is better for me in Maharashtra
Ans: With a 94.09 percentile (approximate All-India rank 12 000–13 000), your son can secure core and allied engineering branches (IT, ECE, Mechanical, Civil, ICT, AI & DS) at reputable Maharashtra institutes where closing percentiles fall within 90–94. Here are ten colleges offering high admission probability along with available branches:

JSPM Narhe Technical Campus (CSE, IT, AI & DS).

MIT Academy of Engineering, Alandi (IT, ECE, Mechanical).

Vishwakarma Institute of Information Technology, Pune (IT, Civil, E&TC).

Pimpri Chinchwad College of Engineering, Pune (E&TC, Mechanical, EEE).

Rajarambapu College of Engineering, Sakharale (Civil, Mechanical, E&TC).

AISSMS Institute of Information Technology, Pune (ICT, IT, Electronics).

D.Y. Patil College of Engineering, Akurdi, Pune (ECE, Civil, Mechanical).

Sinhgad College of Engineering, Pune (Civil, Mechanical, E&TC).

SKN Sinhgad Institute of Technology & Science, Lonavala (Civil, Mechanical, E&TC).

Priyadarshini College of Engineering, Nagpur (Civil, Mechanical, E&TC).

Recommendation: For the best balance of accreditation, modern labs and placement records across IT and allied tech fields, recommendation is JSPM Narhe Technical Campus for its strong CSE/IT curriculum and consistent ~85% placement rates. As robust alternatives, consider MIT Academy of Engineering, Alandi and AISSMS IOIT Pune for specialized IT and ICT pathways. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My son got 95.4 in Jee main obc ncl. He didn't get any college in Josaa counselling till round 3....is it possible to get s eat in Josaa counselling next round??? He scored vit ece and sastra ece ....which one is best??? Vit vellore or sastr or IIIT or NIT????
Ans: With an OBC-NCL percentile around 95.4 (approximate JEE Main category rank ~30 000–35 000), no rounds of JoSAA counselling have yielded a seat; Round 3 ECE closing ranks for top NITs under OBC-NCL were Trichy 6 977, Warangal 6 144, Surathkal 5 345, Jaipur 10 018 and Calicut 12 245, indicating further rounds (4–6) will only fill lower-demand seats at newer or northeastern NITs/IIITs beyond rank 15 000–20 000. Thus, securing an OBC-NCL seat in JoSAA beyond Round 3 is unlikely unless in less sought-after NITs (e.g., Meghalaya, Mizoram) or IIITs with cutoffs above 30 000.

Between VIT Vellore ECE (VITEEE Category 1 closing ~5 600–19 800), SASTRA Thanjavur ECE (JEE Main general closing ~4 000–8 000; OBC cutoff slightly relaxed), and IIITs/NITs likely inaccessible: VIT offers 85–90% placement consistency over three years with NBA/ABET labs and 221 recruiters, while SASTRA reports ~83% placements, median package ~?7.6 LPA, strong research centres and NAAC A+ accreditation.

Recommendation:
For assured admission, excellent infrastructure and higher placement consistency in core ECE roles, recommendation is VIT Vellore ECE. If specialization in advanced electronics with strong median outcomes appeals and you accept slightly narrower recruiter variety, choose SASTRA Thanjavur ECE. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
