Question by D on Feb 18, 2025Hindi

My son scored 83% in JEE first session he is interested in AI & ML , can he get seat in NIT or IIT under ST category and now he preparing for CBSE 12th Board exams and then he attend JEE 2nd session in APRIL 2025, kindly suggest

Ans: Regarding IIT, it is contingent upon his performance in the JEE-Advanced and whether he is assigned a rank. Regarding his JEE-Main 83rd percentile, I recommend verifying the following to see which NITs and branches he may qualify for admission. To determine which National Institutes of Technology (NITs) and branches she might be eligible for, consider the following steps: Identify Preferred Branches: Discuss with your daughter to understand his interests and preferred engineering disciplines. Check JoSAA Opening and Closing Ranks of 2024: The Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) provides detailed information on the opening and closing ranks for NITS and branches. To access this information: Visit the official JoSAA website. Navigate to the "eServices" section and select "Opening and Closing Ranks 2024". Input the desired parameters such as counseling round (preferably the last round for comprehensive data), institute type (e.g., NIT), specific institute names, academic programs (branches), and your daughter's category. Review the displayed data to identify institutes and branches that align with his percentile and preferences. For a broader perspective, consider exploring opening and closing ranks from previous years, which can provide insights into trends and help set realistic expectations. While his current score is commendable, it's prudent to have alternative options. Encourage his to appear for additional entrance examinations to keep multiple pathways open. All the Best for your Son's Prosperous Future.
