Sir i am currently in class 11 th and i just want to prepare for jee mains and advanced 2026 exam so give me some roadmap to achieve and also guide me for computer science
Ans: Shreya, I trust that you have already enrolled in a coaching center, whether it be online or in person, and have finished your eleventh syllabus. (1) If you have not yet created your own short-notes for the 11th syllabus that has been completed, prepare it and continue to revise them every three days until 2026, even after you have commenced studying the 12th syllabus in December 2024. (2) Review the questions that you have incorrectly answered or skipped in mock tests conducted by your Coaching Center and/or practiced independently. (3) In order to increase your rank/percentile by targeting computer science at a reputable college/institute, prioritize mathematics (although all three subjects are equally important). (4) You should be thorough with NCERT books, particularly those pertaining to chemistry, in conjunction with the materials provided by your coaching institute. (5) Have 1-2 reference books for each subject. Not exceeding two. (6) Review the questions that were incorrectly answered or skipped in your mock and practice exams and retake the test. It is advisable to maintain a distinct note-book for these types of questions, which should include answers and elucidating notes, in order to review them repeatedly for all three subjects. (7) Download the SYLLABUS of JEE Main 2025 (available on Google by searching for "JEE Main Information Bulletin") and print it out, as there will be no significant changes to the syllabus in 2026. Maintain it on your study table and continue to update the 11th syllabus chapters and concepts that you have covered to date by marking them with a checkmark. This will boost your confidence if you continue to update the same till November 2025. (8) A slight difference in Syllabus might be visible when you acquire the 2026 JEE Main / JEE Advanced Syllabus. The same can be resolved within 15 days to one month in 2025-26. (9) Increase your productivity by studying for 45 minutes to 1 hour, taking a 10-minute break, and then continuing for 45 minutes. (10) Take a 2-3 minute break every 45 minutes while practicing questions, whether offline or online. This break should consist of closing your eyes and taking long breaths to enhance your concentration and mental capacity. (11) Additionally, it is recommended that you acquire the 20-40 PREVIOUS years question paper book of JEE (Main & Advanced) from Amazon. Arihant's, Disha's, or MTG's publications are recommended. Once you have finished reading a chapter, practice and complete it to determine the extent to which you have comprehended the concepts and to identify areas that require improvement. (12) By October 2025, ensure that you have reviewed significantly more than 90% of the previous years questions. Your confidence will be further bolstered by this. (13) After the mock test is completed at your coaching center, clarify all incorrectly answered or ignored questions and continue to revise and practice them, as these types of questions will significantly disrupt your performance in the actual JEE. (14) If you are a regular school student, inquire with your class teacher about the minimum attendance requirement as outlined in the Board's regulations (State, CBSE, ICSE, etc.). Utilize the remaining 15% by taking time off and preparing for your JEE, if only 85% attendance is required. (15) THE MOST IMPORTANT Value Added Suggestion: Rather than solely relying on JEE, please participate in 5-7 entrance exams/counseling process with a JEE score for getting admission into any one of the private engineering colleges to have a variety of options to select the most suitable one. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future.

Sir kidly suggest me what to choose : cse KIIT , cse AIML Manipal Jaipur , cse Amrita chennai , cse VIT Bhopal catagory.
Ans: KIIT CSE offers 90–92% placement rates (2023–2025) with 980+ recruiters like TCS and Infosys, supported by its NAAC A++ accreditation and NIRF #28 university ranking, though median salaries lag behind premier institutions and core-tech roles constitute 30–40% of offers. Manipal Jaipur’s CSE (AIML) reports 90%+ placements with specialized training in AI/ML via partnerships with Amazon and Microsoft, leveraging interdisciplinary projects and a QS World-recognized curriculum, albeit with a lower NIRF #101–150 ranking. Amrita Chennai CSE excels with 94% placements and robust industry linkages (Qualcomm, Texas Instruments), backed by its NIRF #7 university rank and research-driven labs in embedded systems and IoT. VIT Bhopal CSE (Category 5) ensures 85–90% placements via 820+ recruiters but faces criticism for prioritizing IT roles over core-tech opportunities despite its NIRF #19 engineering rank.

Recommendation: Prioritize Amrita Chennai CSE for academic rigor, core-sector stability, and institutional prestige. Opt for Manipal Jaipur AIML if seeking specialized AI/ML training with assured placements. KIIT CSE suits those valuing high recruitment volume, while VIT Bhopal is viable if prioritizing branch security over niche roles. For backups, consider ECE at Amrita or IT at Manipal for balanced industry-academia pathways. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Amity noida vs bml munjal for btech cs
Ans: Amity Noida’s CSE program reports an 80–85% placement rate (2023–2025) with 1,050+ recruiters like TCS, Amazon, and Microsoft, leveraging its NAAC A++ accreditation and NIRF #49 overall ranking. However, 30–40% of roles are mass-recruitment IT positions, with median salaries lagging behind premier institutions. Its curriculum integrates AI/ML and cloud computing but faces criticism for inconsistent core-tech opportunities. BML Munjal’s CSE demonstrates 84.5% placements with a stronger focus on emerging technologies (IoT, embedded systems) and industry-aligned labs, supported by recruiters like Google, Samsung, and Deloitte. While BML’s NIRF #83 management ranking reflects moderate institutional standing, its smaller batch size ensures personalized mentorship and higher consistency in securing roles with ~8.5 LPA average packages. Amity’s infrastructure and global collaborations (e.g., Arizona State University) offer broader exposure, but BML’s curriculum and innovation-driven projects better align with modern tech demands.

Recommendation: Opt for BML Munjal CSE for balanced industry-academia integration, consistent placements, and emerging tech training, while choosing Amity Noida if prioritizing institutional scale, diversity of recruiters, and established alumni networks despite variable core-sector outcomes. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hey sir I wanted to do mtech in Vit not the integrated the normal one , I have scored 8.5cgpa in btech , what iam worrying about my 12th marks which is 54 but criteria is 60 and in Vitmeee I have scored a good rank soo is there any possible will vit accept my 12th marks and more over my gate is score is preety decent soo is there any chance I can get into vit
Ans: Ashwin, VIT’s M.Tech eligibility criteria mandate a minimum of 60% aggregate in Class 10 and 12, along with 60% in graduation (or equivalent CGPA), as per the VITMEE 2025 information brochure . While your B.Tech CGPA of 8.5 and decent GATE score demonstrate strong academic capability, the 54% in Class 12 falls short of the institutional threshold. VIT’s admission process for M.Tech prioritizes VITMEE rank and GATE scores, but the 60% benchmark in 10th/12th is non-negotiable for eligibility, as industries partnering with VIT enforce this requirement for placements.

Recommendation: Contact the VIT admissions office directly to clarify if exceptions apply for candidates with exceptional UG/GATE performance, though precedents suggest strict adherence to criteria. Explore alternatives like NITs or state universities with relaxed 12th-grade requirements, leveraging your GATE score and B.Tech CGPA for admission. Consider reapplying after improving 12th marks via NIOS or state board re-evaluation if VIT remains a priority. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
