I am scoring 459 in 2025 neet sc can I get gmc

Ans: With an 89.52 percentile (approximately 1.62 lakh CRL), securing CSE, IT, or ECE in NITs or most IIITs through JoSAA is unlikely for an unreserved candidate, so it is best to use JoSAA and CSAB for lower-demand branches in GFTIs or NITs only. For Delhi, IPU is a strong option, particularly colleges like USICT, MAIT, MSIT, and BVCOE, with recent placement data showing credible hiring and a highest package of 41.2 LPA in 2024, although outcomes vary by college and branch. It is advisable to prioritize branch and college quality over focusing solely on tiers, as a good Tier-2.5 IPU seat in CSE/IT is preferable to a weak Tier-3 seat elsewhere. Given a 25 percentile in Maths, dropping a year is risky unless there is a realistic chance of substantial improvement; otherwise, it is better to accept the best available CSE/IT/ECE seat now. Fill in the maximum of your preferred choices in JoSAA counselling and if possible/affordable by your parents, have 3-4 private engineering colleges also as backups (in and around Delhi/neighbouring States) instead of relying only on JoSAA, CSAB & JAC. ALL the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: The IAT is primarily for students interested in research, and your son's chances of admission to NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs for CSE/IT with an 87 percentile in JEE Main and 87% in CBSE may be low based on JoSAA's opening and closing ranks. It is recommended that he registers for JoSAA and CSAB Special counseling as initial steps but prioritizes WBJEE counseling, VITEEE, and MET, which currently offer stronger chances for industry-relevant B.Tech programs. For private colleges, options like VIT, Manipal, JIIT Noida (which accepts both JEE Main and 10+2 scores), Thapar, and LNMIIT (which admit students solely through JEE Main) are viable. It is wise to keep lower branches and GFTIs as backup options with JEE Score and have other private engineering colleges as backups. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Ans: Chances at top IIITs are slim, but your son has decent chances at lower/mid IIITs and good chances at GFTIs

Ans: Your son has a chance of getting into a mid-tier engineering college in Maharashtra through the MHT-CET OMS quota, but top colleges like COEP Pune or VJTI may be difficult. The chances will be fairer if your son has appeared for MHT-CET directly.

Good luck.

Ans: Please do not think in a negative direction at this stage. Your son will appear for all types of competitive exams in 2028. The education field is changing continuously. It is advisable to wait and watch until the end of 2027. If your son does not show any real-time progress in the meantime, then think about other courses. Right now, at this stage, it is not advisable to suggest any other courses so far in advance.

Good luck.

Ans: Your previous question was: Sir, can my son get into a good engineering college through MHT CET? His JEE percentile is 85.95. Please help. In your response, you did not mention anything about the JEE exam or the result. Please do not ask questions in parts. It is very difficult to relate them. Please ask a single question with full details.

Good luck.

Ans: HI SIR,
GREETINGS FROM THE REDIFFGURUS!
Considering your WARD'S percentile rank, securing a seat in Hyderabad is quite challenging. However, there are opportunities available at new NITs and lower-tier IIITs. Please allow her to participate in the counseling process until it concludes.

BEST WISHES.

Ans: HI.
GREETINGS FROM REDIFFGURUS!
Securing a seat in a top-tier NIT is difficult with your rank. However, you can secure a spot in new NITs with less competitive branches.
Best wishes!
