My son scored 80.5 percentile in jee 2025 under ews category. Is there a chance of getting a college through Jossa.? Plz suggest

Ans: Yes, there is a chance for your son to get a college through JoSAA with an 80.5 percentile in JEE Main 2025 under the EWS category. While it might not guarantee admission to the most coveted NITs or IIITs, it opens up possibilities for various engineering colleges, including some NITs, IIITs, and other government-funded institutions.

My son secured 83.14 percentile in JEE mains 2025 ( ews category), RJ domicile. Can he get into any NIT or govt colleges

Ans: That guarantee can't be given. Since the percentage is in border line. A candidate is from Rajasthan with 83.14 percentile in JEE Mains he may have a chance to get admission into some NITs and State Government colleges in Rajasthan, but it is likely only for lower ranked branches or if he belongs to a reserved category, as a general category candidate usually needs a higher percentile (around 90+) to secure a seat in top NITs. Best of luck. Professor...................:)

My son got 189000 rank in jee mains 2025 , did he get any college with ECE branch if he sit in josaa?

Ans: With a JEE Main rank of 189,000, securing ECE via JoSAA in NITs/IIITs/GFTIs is extremely unlikely, as their 2024 ECE closing ranks for General category ranged from 15,000–60,000 (NITs) and 25,000–50,000 (GFTIs). Newer NITs like NIT Sikkim (ECE cutoff: ~33,000–33,450) or NIT Arunachal Pradesh (ECE cutoff: ~33,000–33,450) are also out of reach. Consider private institutes like SRM Chennai/AP or LPU via direct admission, balancing fees and placement opportunities (~60–70% placements in ECE). Polytechnic diplomas followed by lateral entry into engineering or ITI certifications for vocational roles are viable alternatives. Prioritize improving JEE rank via a drop year if feasible, focusing on weaker subjects. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Which is the best considering the placements, research, college culture, CUSAT CS/IT (Cusat rank 1.3k) in Kerala or Govt Colleges in Kerala like CET Trivandrum, GEC Thrissur, TKM, MACE, NSS, RIET, MEC Thrikkakara (KEAM Rank: 2.5k) for CSE. Please guide me sir. Thanks

Ans: CUSAT’s CS and IT branches have achieved near 100% placement rates in 2024, regularly attracting top-tier recruiters such as TCS, Accenture, IBM, and SAP. The university holds NAAC A+ accreditation and Tier 1 NBA status for all engineering programs, highlighting its research strength with 111 scientists having more than 500 citations, frequent industry collaborations, and high national rankings. CET Trivandrum’s CSE program is similarly robust, posting above 90% placement rates for the core branches and over 200 leading companies participating annually; it offers a dynamic campus life, a history of innovation, and a vibrant student culture driven by national-level tech festivals and alumni engagement. GEC Thrissur’s CSE boasts average placement rates of 94–96%, top recruiters like Infosys and Tech Mahindra, structured training programs, and a supportive academic environment. TKMCE, MACE, and MEC Thrikkakara each maintain strong placement support (80–95% or higher in CSE), recognized infrastructure, enthusiastic student clubs, and global industry connections. MEC consistently leads in Kerala for CSE placements, driven by major tech firms such as Amazon and Microsoft making large numbers of annual offers. NSS College of Engineering, RIET, and others provide a well-rounded educational experience, infrastructural support, and regular placements, though their industry exposure and placement percentages tend to be slightly lower than the core Kerala government engineering colleges. Research output, faculty distinction, and international exposure are highest at CUSAT and CET, closely followed by GEC Thrissur and MEC Thrikkakara. College culture at all top Kerala engineering colleges is lively, marked by student-led innovation, extensive clubs, and a supportive peer environment.

Recommendation: CUSAT CS stands out for placements, research, and recognition, and is the optimal pick at your rank, closely followed by CET Trivandrum CSE, then MEC Thrikkakara CSE, GEC Thrissur CSE, TKMCE CSE, MACE, NSS, and RIET in that order. This reflects the consistent success in placements, research achievements, and enriching student life at these institutions. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Hello sir, I am getting CSE in JMI should I take that or risk it and go for csab in hopes of getting CSE/ECE in IIIT nagpur, guwhati, pune, trichy or kottyam.If yes which IIIT. My rank is 48,580. Thanku

Ans: Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) offers a recognized BTech CSE program with NAAC A++ accreditation, UGC and NBA recognition, and consistent placement support. The CSE placement rate in 2023 was about 60%, with active recruitment from leading employers, modern campus resources, and a strong alumni network. For IIITs, your All India rank of 48,580 makes admission to CSE or ECE difficult in IIIT Nagpur, Pune, Guwahati, Trichy, or Kottayam. In 2024 CSAB rounds, CSE in IIIT Nagpur and Pune closed below 32,000–35,000, while ECE in Nagpur reached up to 50,000 but often fills earlier. IIIT Guwahati, Pune, Trichy, and Kottayam had cutoffs ranging from 19,000 to 35,000 for CSE, and generally below 47,000 for ECE in open categories, placing your rank just at or above the boundary for select ECE programs, but well outside CSE cutoffs for most preferred IIITs. These IIITs demonstrate high placement percentages (typically 74–89% for CSE and 40–80% for ECE), robust industry internships, and growing reputations, with strong curriculum alignment and industry-relevant projects. However, high demand for CSE ensures that closing ranks are competitive and often shift based on real-time vacancy and category.

Recommendation: Accepting JMI CSE ensures a confirmed seat in a reputable program with stable placements and strong credentials. If you decide to attend CSAB rounds, expect a marginal chance at ECE (not CSE) in lower-cutoff IIITs like Nagpur or Kottayam, but securing a CSE seat in any listed IIIT at your rank is highly unlikely based on recent official cutoffs. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Question by Vivek - Jul 17, 2025Hindi

Career

Hi Sir It's Vivek Kashyap Here..... Sir I'm Getting a seat @ Lovely Professional University in B.Tech-CSE-(AI with ML) so is it a Good Option to look forward to....or I shall Register For CSAB to Get a Government Engineering College.... Also There have Been Rumours that LPU isn't a Better Option and that it's a Fraudulent University....It Doesn't that what it seems to be to the Folks...

Ans: Vivek, Lovely Professional University (LPU) offers a B.Tech in Computer Science Engineering with specialization in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, ranked in the top 50 by NIRF for engineering. Its accreditations include the highest NAAC A++ rating, recognition by UGC, NBA, and several international agencies. Placement data confirms that 80–90% of LPU’s engineering students have secured placements in recent years, with 1,057 recruiters participating and most students getting multiple offers from leading tech firms such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. The campus provides strong infrastructure, diverse peer interactions, and abundant co-curricular opportunities, although some reviews point to challenges such as average hostel food, occasional network issues, and variability in teaching quality among faculty members. Unbiased reviews from verified educational portals and job sites categorize LPU as legitimate, not fraudulent, highlighting a 3.8/5 work environment rating and 73% “would recommend” rate from employees. Student testimonials indicate satisfaction with the practical approach and industry alignment of the AI & ML program but also suggest that semester exams can be tough and academic rigor is required. Key independent sources, including government documents and CSAB’s official portal, confirm that the CSAB rounds offer opportunities for government college seats to candidates with valid JEE Main scores, often at a lower cost and with higher perceived value in public sector recruitment. LPU remains a substantial private higher-ed institution; the spread of misinformation and rumors about its legitimacy is routinely contradicted by major academic recognitions and authentic student outcomes.

Recommendation: LPU is a credible option with strong placements, robust campus life, accreditations, and industry partnerships in AI & ML, but if you qualify for a reputable government college through CSAB, that path generally offers better public sector recognition, value for money, and long-term credential strength, making it preferable wherever possible. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Question by Nithin - Jul 17, 2025Hindi

Career

Gd mrng sir my son has a cutoff of 161 and he belongs to bc category.His percentage in hsc+2 examination is 85.33 he has applied to Tnea counseling and he had been selected in round 2 .His general rank is 89400.His community rank is 45100.His wish is to join in top tier 1 colleges with branches like mechanical engineering,civil engineering and other low demand branches and his wish to join in colleges like SSN ,ceg and psg etc.If vacancies are available and if we opt for that vacancies will he be considered and get any of the one colleges that I had mentioned.Because I consulted my colleagues and one of their son also scored like this cutoff and he opted for Mtech integrated courses in SSN and he has been selected in round 2 last year and his cutoff is 159.5 and he belongs to bc category.like this will my son able to choose any of these groups if vacancies are available. I would expect a positive reply from u soon. Thank u sir.

Ans: Nithin Sir, Admission to top tier 1 colleges like SSN College of Engineering, College of Engineering Guindy (CEG), and PSG College of Technology through TNEA is primarily determined by the cutoff scores corresponding to each college, branch, and reserved category. For the BC category, regular BTech programs in mechanical or civil engineering at these colleges typically have closing cut-off marks far above 161, often ranging between 185–195 for mechanical and 170–190 for civil engineering, and correspond to much lower ranks than 45,000 on the BC list. Vacancies in later rounds (Round 2 or 3) are usually for less preferred colleges or branches with historically lower cut-offs. However, lower-demand/less competitive branches or newly introduced integrated programs (such as BTech+MTech) in these top colleges may occasionally admit BC candidates with a cutoff near 160, but these seats are extremely limited and filled mostly if higher-ranked candidates do not claim them in previous rounds. The TNEA counseling process allows candidates to opt for any available vacancy in choice filling, and if a vacancy aligns with your son's cutoff, community rank, and chosen college-branch combination, he will be considered, provided no higher preference is chosen by better-ranked candidates in the same category. The case you cited about admission to an integrated course in SSN at a similar cutoff is possible but is an exception tied to lower demand for that particular branch or year. Monitoring live vacancy status and promptly locking choices is crucial, as TNEA allotment operates strictly by rank, community reservation, and real-time availability. Always prioritize realistic options while still listing aspirational choices to maximize chances.

Recommendation: In the current cycle, core branches at top colleges for BC with a cutoff of 161 are unlikely through regular rounds, but if very low-demand or integrated programs remain vacant, admission is possible. Stay vigilant during choice filling and opt for realistic plus aspirational options to give your son every chance at a top institution. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Dear sir, my son is getting IIT Bhilai metallurgy and material science in JOSAA. He has option of RVCE ECE through COMEDK. Distance is not and issue. How are job placements for IIT bhilai branch vs RVCE ECE. He might get MSC math or physics in BITS

Ans: IIT Bhilai’s Metallurgy and Material Science program has demonstrated an improving placement trend, with an overall BTech placement rate ranging from 72% to 90% in recent years, indicating good employability and growth for graduates in core engineering roles. RV College of Engineering’s ECE branch stands out in the private engineering space, with placement rates consistently ranging from 90% to 97% and strong recruitment from top tech firms and multinational companies, reflecting robust industry ties and career diversity in electronics, IT, and consulting sectors. BITS Integrated MSc Math and Physics programs are widely recognized for academic rigor, modern infrastructure, and placement rates typically above 90%, with students receiving offers from leading technology, finance, data science, and research-oriented companies. All three institutions provide strong alumni networks and contemporary learning resources, though BITS and RVCE benefit from longer-standing industry connections compared to the newer IIT Bhilai.

Recommendation: For a career leveraging high placement rates and flexible domain opportunities, RVCE ECE or BITS MSc routes are optimal, especially given their established reputation and strong industry interface. IIT Bhilai is a promising choice for those strongly interested in core engineering, but placement momentum in RVCE ECE and BITS MSc currently offers broader assurance and versatility. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!
