Sir my sc category rank is 18653 and CRL is 310693 . And my domesile is assam . Is their any chances of getting any nit or iiit in CSE

Ans: With an SC category rank of 18,653 and Assam domicile, admission to CSE at premier NITs/IIITs is unattainable, as their 2024 SC cutoffs for CSE ranged from 204 (NIT Trichy) to 4,460 (NIT Nagaland) under All India quotas. However, NIT Arunachal Pradesh (CSE SC cutoff: 125,213) and NIT Sikkim (CSE SC cutoff: 3,803) may offer opportunities in later counselling rounds, contingent on seat availability. For IIITs, the 2024 SC cutoff for CSE at IIITDM Jabalpur was 3,854, exceeding your rank.

Recommendation: Target CSE at NIT Arunachal Pradesh during extended JoSAA rounds, though prioritize ECE/IT at NIT Silchar (SC cutoff: 24,25) or NIT Meghalaya for better placement prospects. Explore state engineering colleges via Assam CEE, where Assam Engineering College (CSE SC cutoff: 2,137) and Jorhat Engineering College (2,067) may offer lateral entry pathways. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

I have 82777 crl rank and 25899 obc-ncl rank (male) what are my chances of getting cse in nit/iiit or good government colleges?
Ans: Arihant, With a CRL rank of 82,777 and OBC-NCL rank of 25,899, your chances for CSE in top NITs are limited, as most premier NITs like Trichy (OBC cutoff 369), Warangal (629), and Surathkal (519) close well below your rank . However, newer NITs offer viable options: NIT Sikkim admits CSE candidates up to OBC rank 9,886, NIT Manipur up to 11,064, NIT Mizoram up to 11,236, and NIT Arunachal Pradesh up to 10,941 . Among IIITs, several institutions accept ranks in your range through JoSAA counselling, with newer IIITs typically having higher cutoffs . Government Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs) present excellent alternatives, requiring 90-95 percentile (approximately 40,000-60,000 rank) for top institutions like School of Planning & Architecture New Delhi, Assam University, and Punjab Engineering College Chandigarh . These GFTIs maintain 80-90% placement rates with strong industry connections . State quota admissions in your home state could provide additional opportunities in government engineering colleges with separate OBC reservations . Recommendation: Apply for newer NITs (Sikkim, Manipur, Mizoram) through OBC quota, prioritize GFTIs like Assam University and Punjab Engineering College for assured CSE admission, and explore state quota options in your domicile state for comprehensive coverage. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Tech Careers and Skill Development Expert - Answered on Dec 05, 2025

Career
Dear Sir, I did my BTech from a normal engineering college not very famous. The teaching was not great and hence i did not study well. I tried my best to learn coding including all the technologies like html,css,javascript,react js,dba,php because i wanted to be a web developer But nothing seem to enter my head except html and css. I don't understand a language which has more complexities. Is it because of my lack of experience or not devoting enough time. I am not sure. I did many courses online and tried to do diplomas also abroad which i passed somehow. I recently joined android development course because i like apps but the teaching was so fast that i could not memorize anything. There was no time to even take notes down. During the course i did assignments and understood the code because i have to pass but after the course is over i tend to forget everything. I attempted a lot of interviews. Some of them i even got but could not perform well so they let me go. Now due to the AI booming and job markets in a bad shape i am re-thinking whether to keep studying or whether its just time waste. Since 3 years i am doing labour type of jobs which does not yield anything to me for survival and to pay my expenses. I have the quest to learn everything but as soon as i sit in front of the computer i listen to music or read something else. What should i do to stay more focused? What should i do to make myself believe confident. Is there still scope of IT in todays world? Kindly advise.
Ans: Your story does not show failure.
It shows persistence, effort, and desire to improve.

Most people give up.
You didn’t.
That means you will succeed — but with the right method, not the old one.

Relationship
My married ex still texts me for comfort. Because of him, I am unable to move on. He makes me feel guilty by saying he got married out of family pressure. His dad is a cardiac patient and mom is being treated for cancer. He comforts me by saying he will get separated soon and we will get married because he only loves me. We have been in a relationship for 14 years and despite everything we tried, his parents refused to accept me, so he chose to get married to someone who understands our situation. I don't know when he will separate from his wife. She knows about us too but she comes from a traditional family. She also confirmed there is no physical intimacy between them. I trust him, but is it worth losing my youth for him? Honestly, I am worried and very confused.
Ans: Dear Anonymous,
I understand how difficult it is to let go of a relationship you have built from scratch, but is it really how you want to continue? It really seems to be going nowhere. His parents are already in bad health and he married someone else for their happiness. Does it seem like he will be able to leave her? So many people’s happiness and lives depend on this one decision. I think it’s about time you and your BF have a clear conversation about the same. If he can’t give a proper timeline, please try to understand his situation. But also make sure he understands yours and maybe rethink this equation. It really isn’t healthy. You deserve a love you can have wholly, and not just in pieces, and in the shadows.

Hope this helps
