Question by Kishore - Apr 25, 2026Hindi

Career

Sir, My son got 94.45percentile Jeemains, Mahindra CSE seat blocked, BITS 220marks Session 1, Manipal 148 marks and board 90%. He is interested in CSE or Maths and physics. What shall we do?

Ans: Kishore Sir, you have not mentioned your son's home state. However, please note that BITS typically requires a minimum of 240–250 marks even for MSc programs and above 290–320 for BE programs, especially for the CSE branch. Based on your son's scores, admission to NIT/IIIT CSE through JoSAA appears difficult; some newer IIITs and GFTIs may be possible through CSAB, mainly in lower-demand branches. Please keep Mahindra-CSE as a safe backup option. Regarding Manipal, MIT Manipal CSE is tough to get, but Mathematics & Computing or other CS-related branches may be borderline—last year’s CSE closing rank was near 5129 and Maths & Computing near 5633. MIT Bengaluru offers better chances for CSE/ECE, with the 2025 CSE closing rank around 11,331. Manipal Jaipur and SMIT Sikkim have very good chances for CSE, ECE, and AI-DS branches. Preference order could be MIT Manipal (Maths & Computing/CS specializations) → MIT Bengaluru (CSE/ECE) → Manipal Jaipur (CSE) → SMIT (CSE). If possible & if you/your son desire, have Thapar also as one of the backup options. Physics is a better option mainly for research-oriented goals; for his interests, CSE or Maths & Computing would be preferable unless he is strongly inclined toward research. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Question by Srilaxmi - Apr 25, 2026Hindi

Career

Sir, my son got 98.60percentile...obc ncl.... CAN WE EXPECT CSE

Ans: Srilaxmi Madam, you have not mentioned son's Home State. Based on his score, CSE admission is possible but largely depends on your son's OBC-NCL rank and home state quota. In top NITs like NIT Trichy, NIT Surathkal, and NIT Warangal, CSE remains highly competitive and typically closes at much higher ranks. However, there are very good chances for CSE in mid-level NITs and IIITs such as NIT Jalandhar, NIT Raipur, NIT Patna, IIIT Kota, IIIT Pune, and IIIT Nagpur, depending on rank movement and quota availability. Even stronger opportunities exist for ECE and through CSAB Special Round upgrades. I suggest keeping the preference order as CSE → IT → AI/Data Science → ECE, filling the maximum number of JoSAA choices, and treating CSAB as a strong Plan B. Please use your exact OBC-NCL rank for a more precise prediction. Additionally, reviewing JoSAA opening and closing ranks from the past 2–3 years will provide valuable insights and help your son confidently select and fill his preferred & maximum number of choices. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Hi Sir, My son has secured a rank of 4320 (CRL) in JEE Mains 2026. Home State is not an option. Can you suggest Institute + Branch preferences that we should opt?

Ans: Based on your son's score, he has strong chances for admission to top NITs and good IIITs, particularly in branches like ECE, EE, Mechanical, Mathematics & Computing, and, in some cases, CSE at mid-to-top NITs depending on the round and institute. JoSAA confirms that open category ranks are based on CRL. The preferred order to consider is NIT Trichy, NIT Surathkal, NIT Warangal, MNNIT Allahabad, NIT Calicut, NIT Rourkela, NIT Kurukshetra, MNIT Jaipur, SVNIT Surat, NIT Nagpur, followed by IIIT Allahabad, IIIT Gwalior, and IIIT Jabalpur. Suggested branch preference is CSE → AI/Data Science → ECE → Mathematics & Computing → EE → IT → Mechanical. While top NIT CSE may be difficult to secure (for example, NIT Trichy CSE closes near the top 1000 rank), ECE at strong NITs and CSE at good IIITs are very realistic options. Additionally, reviewing the JoSAA opening and closing ranks from the past 2–3 years will provide valuable insights and help your son confidently fill the maximum number of his preferred choices.

Sir good morning, My son jee mains 2026 2nd got 89 percentile. and AIR 169813 and belong to obc ncl.home state up.he is want cse/ core branch nit or iiit and other govt college/ MEC pune plz tell me.

Ans: Good Morning! Based on your rank, securing CSE in NITs or top IIITs during regular JoSAA rounds is very difficult. Your realistic options mainly include newer IIITs (with better chances in ECE/IT and lower chances in CSE), lower NIT core branches, and GFTIs through JoSAA and CSAB special rounds. Consider institutions like IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Ranchi, IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Agartala, IIIT Manipur, IIIT Una (though chances are lower), Assam University, Gurukula Kangri, BIT Mesra off-campus, and lower core branches (Civil, Mechanical, Production, Metallurgy) at NIT Srinagar or Agartala. For MEC Pune, government CSE options like COEP, MIT-WPU, or PCCOE are likely preferred, making government CSE difficult; however, reputed private colleges in Pune for CSE/ECE remain strong backup choices. It is advisable to keep CSAB, AKTU counselling, Maharashtra State CAP Counselling, and private college (in and around UP) options together. ALL the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

NAMASKAR SIR, MY SON GOT 92.9400311 percentile and crl 109654 with haryana home state he wants to pursue cse/ai/ml branches tech related so now he is targetting viteee,comedk,cuet and bits pilani. Our main focus is to prepare him for bits pilani as it's level is equivalent or better than many iits so just wanna know if it is a good decision

Ans: Namaskar! Joining BITS Pilani is a good decision; however, please note that admission is highly competitive, typically requiring a minimum of 250–260 marks for MSc programs and 290–320 marks for BE programs, especially for the CSE branch, depending on the campus. COMEDK can be a strong second option, targeting top colleges like RVCE, BMSCE, and MSRIT. If feasible and desired, PES can serve as another backup. Additionally, consider VIT Bhopal as a third backup and CUET as a fourth. Also, keep Thapar and 2–3 other reputed private engineering colleges in Haryana as further backup options to maximize chances. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Question by Sandeep - Apr 24, 2026Hindi

Career

My son got 94.37 percentile in JEE Main and has 87994 ranks in General Category. Please suggest me that he can get admission in CSE and ECE branch in IIITs or NIIT or any reputed Private Colleges with good placement records.

Ans: Sandeep Sir, you have not mentioned your son's Home State. Please note, based on your son's score, admission to NIT CSE/ECE in regular JoSAA rounds is unlikely. Recent JoSAA and CSAB cutoff trends indicate that good IIIT CSE/ECE seats close much earlier, but CSAB rounds may provide opportunities in newer IIITs and GFTIs. Consider options like IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Agartala, IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Ranchi, IIIT Senapati, IIIT Manipur, Assam University, Gurukula Kangri, and BIT Mesra off-campuses, mainly for ECE, IT, and CSE branches. For reputed private colleges with stronger placement ecosystems, apply to Thapar, LNMIIT Jaipur, Plaksha, Jaypee Noida, MIT Jaipur, VIT, and SRM Ghaziabad/Noida. Additionally, keep your son's State counselling and CSAB Special Round as mandatory backups. It is generally preferable to choose CSE/IT in a good private college over other branches in a lesser-known government institute. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Hi Sir, My daughter in Gen category has scored 88 percentile in jee mains with home state quota of Delhi.. what are the possible admissions?

Ans: Based on your daughter's score, the chances of securing admission in NIT/IIIT for CSE, ECE, or core branches through JoSAA regular rounds are very low. She may explore some GFTIs or lower-demand branches primarily through CSAB special rounds. For JAC Delhi, DTU, NSUT, and IIIT-D for CSE/ECE are generally unrealistic at this rank. However, as a female candidate, she should strongly consider IGDTUW, where Delhi-region female cutoffs tend to be lower than DTU and NSUT. Still, admission in CSE, IT, or ECE may be challenging, with possibilities mainly in MAE, dual-degree, or lower branches if her rank aligns with spot round trends. It is advisable to keep backup options open, including IPU counselling, JAC spot rounds, CSAB rounds, and private Delhi-NCR colleges, and to manage JAC, IPU, and CSAB options together for the best chances. ALL the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!

Ans: Yes, you can try through CSAB rounds. Your near-realistic options include IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Ranchi, IIIT Agartala, IIIT Senapati, IIIT Bhopal (ECE), newer IIITs, and GFTIs. You also have strong chances through CSAB special rounds, where cutoffs often relax. Keep hope for ECE, IT, or CSE admission in newer IIITs via CSAB, but also maintain a Plan B with GFTIs and your state counselling options. ALL the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Career

comedk engineering colleges cutoff

Ans: Sanmathi, Official COMEDK Round 1 and final cutoff PDFs show that RVCE remains the most competitive college. Over the past 2–3 years, approximate closing ranks for CSE were RVCE: 200–500, BMSCE: 800–1500, MSRIT: 700–1600, DSCE: 2500–4500, and BIT Bangalore: 4000–7000. For ECE, approximate closing ranks were RVCE: 1200–1800, BMSCE: 2500–4000, MSRIT: 2500–4500, DSCE: 7000–9000, and NIE Mysore: 7000–9500. Cutoffs vary each year based on branch demand, seat matrix, and counselling rounds, so it is important to keep Round 2, Round 3, and backup colleges ready to increase your chances of admission. It is advisable to fill in the maximum number of choices allowed in the COMEDK counselling window to improve your chances of securing admission. By selecting a wide range of colleges and branches, you increase the likelihood of getting a seat that fits your preferences and rank. ALL the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!
