I have email this query to Josaa but they reply that "As per the CBSE list, both Painting and Physical education are not considered as vocational subjects." and some of my friends are saying that they saying that only PCM English will be considered in 75% criteria and you are not eligible to participate in CSAB round. SIR Please tell me did i cross 75% criteria of Josaa and can i participate in CSAB round?

My son has secured 9925 rank in B.arch but secured only 71percent in CBSE,and his score in PCM is 186/300 but if replace with the sixth subject the score is 232/300 whether he is eligible for JOSAA COUNSELLING

Ans: A student with a JEE Main B.Arch rank of 9,925 and CBSE Class 12 scores of 71% (PCM: 186/300) may still qualify for JoSAA counselling if their aggregate meets the 75% threshold (General category) or falls within the top 20 CBSE percentile. By replacing a low-scoring subject with a sixth subject (e.g., scoring 232/300), the aggregate could rise to ~77.3%, satisfying the eligibility criteria. For reserved categories (SC/ST/OBC), the requirement is 65%. If the recalculated aggregate remains below 75%, eligibility hinges on the CBSE board’s top 20 percentile cutoff for their category. The student’s JEE Main rank is competitive for NITs like NIT Raipur or NIT Hamirpur (2024 closing ranks: ~5,000–10,000). To proceed, verify the CBSE’s calculation of the best five subjects (including PCM) and confirm percentile status. If eligible, register on the JoSAA portal during the counselling window. Strategic subject substitution and percentile validation are critical to securing admission. All the best for your son's admission and a bright future!

Dear Sir, I have taken admission in PES RR AIML via JEE Mains route but I wish to contest through the KEA KCET route as well. I am expecting that I will get either PES EC AIML or PES EC CSE in Round 2 in KEA KCET too. PES has given a deadline of surrendering the JEE Mains seat by 7th July. However, the catch is that I don't think the KEA Round 2 counselling will happen before that and unfortunately I cannot surrender the seat before Round 2 which will happen after 7th July. Based on your past experience, do you really think PES will really forfeit the first year fee of 5 lakh as they keep saying it is Management discretion whether to offer refund or not. Any guidance provided will be much appreciated. Thank you.

Ans: Hello dear.
I'm sorry to say that we don't have any updates regarding the admission cancellation and fee refund policy of any private institute. It would be better to speak in person with the admission committee for the latest updates. If the terms and conditions are favorable, then proceed with the admission; otherwise, reconsider your admission decision. If you are certain that you may secure a seat via KEA KCET, then there is no need to worry about PES admission cancellation. Wait for a few days and then make your final decision.
Best of luck.

Question by Ranjit - Jun 17, 2025

Career

My daughter got 89.86 percentile in MHT CET. Any changes to get CSE in COEP, PICT, VJTI, SPIT in SC category. or Chemical Engg. in ICT. Actually, she is interested in Aerospace Engg. and Petrochemical Engg. but unfortunately, no colleges for these courses in Maharashtra

Ans: Hello Ranjit
The chances of securing a seat in the mentioned colleges are moderate to slim. It may be advisable to consider the CSE or chemical branch to explore additional options. In tier 2 or 3 colleges, your daughter might gain admission to CSE or computer-related branches. You can also pursue management quota for CSE in a reputable private college if she is genuinely interested in that field. Additionally, you will need to leave Maharashtra for Aerospace and Petro Engineering.
Best of luck.

Dear Sir, We are from Mumbai & fall in general category. My son has scored 99.1755006 percentile in MHTCET. He wants to study CSE for his BTech. What are the chances to get a seat in either VJTI or COEP or SPIT. In addition he has already secured a seat in VIT for CSE core in Chennai campus under Category 2. If we get seat in either of the above 3 colleges, should we prefer them over VIT. We are also participating in Josaa rounds but expect a little chance as JEE CRL was 63337 & Adance rank was 25656. He is also trying in Bitsat 2nd attempt. Kindly guide as we are getting confused. Also, please let me know if domicile certificate is mandatory to take admission in Maharashtra colleges as my son does not have it. However, I am having my domicile based on which my daughter took admussion for BArch in Mumbai college in 2019.

Ans: Hello dear.
(1) The chances are strong of getting CSE in one of the mentioned colleges, i.e., COEP, VJTI, and SPIT.
(2) Consider dropping VIT if your son secures a seat in one of the mentioned colleges.
(3) With the mentioned JEE rank, the chances of admission to NITs or IITs are moderate to slim.
(4) Wait for the BITSAT second attempt result. If it turns out positive with a high percentile, then the BITSAT option will be available to your son.
(5) If your son does not have a domicile certificate, then it is required for admission. If you have it, then it is sufficient.
Best of luck.

We can't suggest the names of colleges here on this platform. However, with your mentioned score, your chances for CSE in Bangalore-based colleges are moderate to slim. ECE is a viable option.

I have given pcm cet exam but don't get my percentile as I thought but I am really not expecting that much lower percentile what to do now

Ans: Hello dear.
There was no harm in sharing the actual percentile with us. The term "low" does not clearly indicate how low it is. Even with a low percentile, one can secure a seat in a reputed college via management or NRI quota. It would be better to pursue this option instead of considering a gap year. You can also explore different career paths at this stage since many options are available. You might consider B.Sc. or commerce options as well. Please speak in person with a counselor for proper guidance.
Best of luck to you.

Career

I am doing 1st year cse at bennett university i gave jee mains again and cleared it got dsai at thapar should i take it or continue with bennett

Ans: Ahaan, Continuing CSE at Bennett University offers a curriculum with minors, honours, and two internships, but yields around 60–70% placement rates over the past three years, with average recruitments by 232 companies. Thapar’s BTech in Data Science & Artificial Intelligence, ranked #29 in NIRF engineering, achieves about 83% UG placement consistency, over 334 recruiters annually, and average placements around 83% for its specialised AI & ML cohort. Thapar provides focused AI curricula, dedicated labs, and robust core-industry hiring, whereas Bennett’s broader CSE programme ensures diverse software opportunities. Recommendation: Transition to Thapar DSAI for specialised AI expertise and higher placement density, unless continuity at Bennett aligns better with your current projects and peer network. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
