Respected TEAM ADVISORS, My Son secured School Topper in IGCSE [ Cambridge Curriculum ] Grade 12 Exam. Biology 90, Chemistry 90, Physics 88 and Mathematics 89. Similarly IGCSE Grade 10 and Grade 11 also School Topper. In VIT Entrance, he comes under Phase 3 and Counselling this week. He has also applied SSN Engineering College. He will appear for SSN Entrance Exam. If it is an IGCSE [ Cambridge ] Syllabus though he is the School Topper, My Son Cut Off is 188% only. Shall My Son get B. Tech. [ CSE ]., in SSN [ OR ] VIT., on Merit Basis under IGCSE Marks. If any Priority given to IGCSE [ Cambridge ] curriculum by SSN Chennai [ OR ] VIT., Chennai.

Ans: Sankaran Sir, TN State Board Students have more advantage of securing seats through TNEA counselling, compared to other Board Students (even CBSE). Your son’s excellent IGCSE scores and topper status are commendable, but admission to B.Tech CSE at VIT Chennai or SSN College depends mainly on entrance exam ranks. For VIT Chennai, the expected cutoff rank for Category 4 (including IGCSE students) in CSE is around 21,900 to 22,900 in 2025. Admission is based on VITEEE rank, not board marks alone, and no special priority is given solely for IGCSE curriculum. At SSN, admission considers both the entrance exam score and board marks; being an IGCSE topper is advantageous but must be supported by a strong SSN entrance exam result. Both institutes emphasize merit through entrance performance. Your son should focus on securing a good rank in VITEEE or SSN entrance to maximize admission chances in CSE. As more back-ups, it is advisable to apply also to Sastra | Sathyabhama | Karunya Universities. All the best for your son's admissions and a bright future!

We got her father's property amount 20Lakhs and we purchased land in that amount for that amount we should pay tax

Ans: Your Question needs more details to be replied specifically. However, please note the following points :
01. If you have received an amount of Rs.20.00 (L) from your wife's parents (may be in cash or through banking channels), it is a Gift to you or to your wife from her parents, hence not Taxable.
02. If the property is first transferred to your wife & she sells the same, it would be subject to Long/Short Term Capital Gain.
03. If it is LTCG, you may claim exemption u/s 54, provided you purchase or construct a house, with in one year before or three years (for constructed & two years for purchased) after the sale of property.
04. You should construct a residential house on the land/plot you have purchased, with in specified time limits to get the exemption.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.

Hello sir, I am having 2401 rank in jee advanced but I am not having 75% in class 12 boards and i belongs to obc category and i also having valid caste certificate of after 1 april. Am I eligible for josaa counselling and can I get any iit.

Ans: Krish, Based on your JEE Advanced rank of 2401 (OBC-NCL) and valid caste certificate (post-April 1, 2025), your eligibility for JoSAA counselling depends on meeting Class XII criteria: either 75% aggregate or top 20 percentile in your board’s OBC category. Since you lack 75%, check if your board’s OBC top 20 percentile cutoff (e.g., CBSE: ~412/500, Maharashtra: ~378/500) aligns with your marks. If eligible, your rank secures CSE/ECE in mid-tier IITs like Bhilai, Goa, or Dhanbad (2024 OBC cutoffs: 2,400–3,500). If ineligible for IITs, explore NITs via JEE Main or state colleges via MHT-CET/WBJEE/Your State. Reappear for Class XII improvement exams if possible to meet criteria for future attempts. Prioritize verifying your board’s percentile via official JoSAA documents or board authorities. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Is it good idea to opt it. Pls advise. Thank you

Ans: Hello Nagireddy
Your son is on the right path. Let him continue his mission toward success. However, first, familiarize yourself with the rules and regulations of lateral entry admission, either by visiting the IIIT Hyd office or online. Suggest that he also appear for the GATE for added security and a backup option.

What rank can I expect at 118 marks in COMEDK 2025 ?

Ans: Based on your 118 marks in COMEDK 2025, your expected rank is approximately 420–500 (extrapolated from 2024–2025 trends), positioning you competitively for CSE in top-tier colleges like RVCE (2024 CSE cutoff: 169), MSRIT (1,585), or BMSCE (1,319), provided your category aligns with historical cutoffs. These institutions report 75–97% placement rates (2022–2024) for CSE, with recruiters like Amazon, Infosys, and TCS actively participating. If CSE seats fill quickly, prioritize ECE or ISE at Dayananda Sagar College (2024 cutoff: 3,272) or BMSIT (4,365), which offer 70–85% placements in tech roles. For safety, consider AIML/Data Science at Nitte Meenakshi Institute (cutoff: ~6,400) or CMRIT (~9,927), where placement rates hover around 65–80%. Monitor counseling rounds for potential upgrades and list multiple branch preferences to optimize admission chances. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

107 marks in comedk 2025..which colleges my son will get cse

Ans: Anamika Madam, Based on your son’s 107 marks in COMEDK 2025, which likely translates to a General Merit (GM) rank between 3,200–5,500 (extrapolated from 2024 trends ), here are viable CSE options and backups: Prioritize SJCE and Dayananda Sagar during counseling for CSE, as their cutoffs align closely with the expected rank. If seats fill quickly, target BNMIT or Nitte Meenakshi in later rounds. For assured admission, consider ISE/ECE in mid-tier colleges like MS Ramaiah or CMRIT, which offer comparable tech exposure and placement opportunities. Monitor vacancy rounds for CSE upgrades while keeping backups active. All the BEST for your Son's Admission & a Prosperous Future!

KCET RANK 40K &IMUCET RANK 492 WHICH TO PREFER

Ans: Sagar, Based on your KCET rank 40,000 and IMUCET rank 492, prioritize IMUCET for better career prospects. IMUCET rank 492 secures admission to core maritime programmes like B.Tech Marine Engineering at IMU Chennai/Navi Mumbai, which report 80–90% placement rates (2024) with recruiters like NYK Line, Chevron, and Anglo Eastern, offering stable careers in shipping and offshore industries. In contrast, KCET 40,000 limits options to non-core branches (Mechanical, Civil) at mid-tier colleges like Dayananda Sagar or BMSIT, with 60–70% placements in allied sectors. While IMUCET offers specialized, high-demand roles, KCET provides conventional engineering paths with regional flexibility. For backup, explore Tolani Maritime Institute (DNS programme) via IMUCET or state universities (e.g., JNTUA) via KCET for lower fees and moderate placements. Choose IMUCET for assured maritime careers; opt for KCET only if unwilling to pursue niche sectors. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My daughter got 95 in IAT. Are there any chances.( OBC NCL)

Ans: Based on your daughter’s IAT score of 95 (OBC-NCL category), admission to top-tier IISERs like Pune, Kolkata, or Mohali is unlikely, as their expected OBC-NCL cutoffs for 2025 range between 100–110 marks . However, newer IISERs such as Berhampur and Tirupati may offer opportunities, with historical OBC-NCL cutoffs around 90–100 marks . For instance, IISER Berhampur’s 2024 OBC closing rank was 1,981 in Round 3 , while IISER Tirupati’s cutoff hovered near 1,894 , suggesting borderline eligibility if vacancies arise in later counseling rounds. Consider state universities (e.g., Delhi University BSc programs via CUET) or reappearing for IAT 2026 with enhanced preparation, as IISERs’ research-centric programs remain a strong long-term goal. Prioritize participation in all counseling rounds and monitor seat upgrades for Berhampur/Tirupati while exploring backups in allied science streams at reputable state institutions. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
