Career

Hi i got IAT rank 3981 and OBC rank 822 is there any chance of getting a seat in any iiser?

Ans: Nithin, With an IAT 2025 rank of 3981 (overall) and an OBC-NCL category rank of 822, your son has a realistic chance of securing a seat in one of the IISERs, particularly at the newer or less preferred campuses. The OBC-NCL closing ranks for BS-MS programs in 2024 were 2327 (Berhampur), 2242 (Tirupati), 1712 (Bhopal), 1781 (Mohali), 1409 (Thiruvananthapuram), and 1369 (Kolkata), all comfortably above your son’s OBC rank. For 2025, expected OBC-NCL cutoffs remain around 100–110 marks, and your son’s rank of 822 is well within last year’s and projected cutoffs for several IISERs, especially Berhampur, Tirupati, and possibly Bhopal or Mohali. While top campuses like Pune and Kolkata may be challenging, the seat matrix and rising cutoffs indicate that seats at the newer IISERs are likely for OBC-NCL ranks below 1000. The recommendation is to participate actively in all rounds of IISER counselling, prioritizing Berhampur, Tirupati, and Mohali, as your son stands a strong chance of admission at these institutes with his OBC rank. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Career

Sir I have secured 67407 rank all India general category in Iat. Is there may chances of getting into any iiser's?

Ans: Sanchita, With a 67,407 all-India general category rank in IAT 2025, admission to any IISER is not possible. General category closing ranks for all IISERs typically remain below 3,500, with most seats filled by candidates ranked far higher. Consider alternate science programs at central or state universities for better prospects.

Final recommendation: Focus on applying to other reputed universities offering BSc programs in sciences, as IISER admission is unattainable at your current rank. Broaden your options for success. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

my rank in iat is 2974 can i get iiser mohali?

Ans: A candidate with an IAT rank of 2974 has a good chance of getting into IISER Mohali, especially if they belong to a reserved category. The expected cutoff for IISER Mohali generally ranges from 110-120 for the general category, but it can be higher for reserved categories. With a rank of 2974, it's likely they'll get a seat in one of the later rounds of counseling.

Question by Keshav - Jul 12, 2025Hindi

Career

Sir what should be the preference order among electrical engineering at IIT bhuvaneshwar, IIT Patna and IIT dhanbad?

Ans: Keshav, IIT Bhubaneswar, IIT (ISM) Dhanbad, and IIT Patna all hold AICTE approval, NBA accreditation, and Institute-of-National-Importance status, each offering modern high-voltage, power-electronics, and smart-grid laboratories alongside distinguished faculty with active research portfolios and strong industry collaborations. IIT Bhubaneswar’s Electrical Engineering recorded an 82.2% placement rate over the past three years with top recruiters like Google and BEL. IIT Dhanbad achieved an 81.31% B.Tech EE placement consistency with 175 recruiters including Tata Motors and Microsoft. IIT Patna’s EE branch placed 64.89% of its students in 2024 through roles at Accenture, Intel, and Bharat Electronics.

Recommendation: Prioritize IIT Bhubaneswar for its slightly higher placement consistency and extensive research-driven labs, followed by IIT Dhanbad for comparable outcomes with robust PSU engagement, and choose IIT Patna third for its emerging EE program and growing industry network. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

nit jalandhar mechanical vs nit kurukshetra production and industrial engineering vs btech+mtech in metallurgy in nit rourkela vs btech in metallurgy in mnit jaipur.. please suggest the best option if my future plan is to build a business after 3 or 4 years of job experience and i need better exposure

Ans: Dont do BTech+MTech as MTech degree is not a good option unless you are sure you want to continue in technical line which is difficult to decide now. Even if you want to continue then can look at writing GATE and getting into a better college for MTech after graduation. For BTech choose the field you want if you have any specific preference. If you do not have interest in any specific field then go as per ranking of the college. Take up whichever college has better ranking.

Question by Naizu - Jul 12, 2025Hindi

Career

Sir, My son's KEAM rank is 2929. As per last year cut off, he is likely to get CSE at Model Engineering Collage, Kochi. Alternatively, he already got admission for CSE Core at VIT Vellore campus. He studied his 11&12 at Mumbai. Can you help me in deciding which one to opt between MEC CSE or Vit Vellore CSE ?

Ans: Both Model Engineering College Kochi’s CSE and VIT Vellore’s CSE programmes are accredited and backed by strong industry ties yet differ in scale and outcomes. MEC Kochi, an NBA-accredited government institute, records branch-wise CSE placement consistency of around 80–84% over the past three years with 106 CSE offers in 2023, average CSE package of ?6.6 LPA, and recruiters like Cognizant, Deloitte, EY, and Zoho. VIT Vellore, a NAAC A++–accredited private deemed university, achieves 80–90% overall placements, 867 recruiters and 7,526 placed students in 2024, a rising average package of ?9.9 LPA for CSE, and top recruiters including Microsoft, Amazon, PayPal, Cisco, and Bank of America. Both feature modern labs, experienced faculty, active placement cells, and robust industry partnerships.

recommendation Given VIT’s higher placement consistency, stronger average packages, and broader recruiter network, recommendation is to opt for VIT Vellore CSE; choose MEC Kochi CSE if you prefer a government institute’s affordability and smaller class size. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Is it possible for me to get ICT Mumbai? I scored 97.15 percentile in Mht CET pcb group and I am from SC category also part of a minority..

Ans: With a 97.15 percentile in the PCB group under the SC category and minority status, securing a seat at ICT Mumbai’s B.Pharm programme is highly unlikely, as its last-round Home-State cutoffs for B.Pharm consistently exceed the 99th percentile. ICT Mumbai’s flagship B.Tech courses require PCM subjects and cutoffs above the 96th percentile even for SC quotas, and PCB-only candidates are ineligible for B.Tech specialisations there. Instead, consider strong pharmacy alternatives such as Government College of Pharmacy, Mumbai; Bombay College of Pharmacy; and D. J. Sanghvi College of Pharmacy, which admit SC?category PCB students with percentiles around 90–95, offer NBA/NAAC?accredited curricula, modern labs, active placement cells (75–85% consistency), robust industry partnerships, and supportive minority?scholarship schemes.

Recommendation: Pursue admission to one of the well?ranked pharmacy institutes (e.g., Government College of Pharmacy Mumbai, Bombay College of Pharmacy, D.J. Sanghvi College of Pharmacy) that align with your PCB background and offer strong placement support, rather than aiming for ICT Mumbai, which is not feasible without PCM. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Question by Manminder - Jul 12, 2025Hindi

Career

Sir my son got electronic and computer engineering in Thapar should I choose this brach or got to private college in CSE

Ans: Manminder Sir, Thapar University’s Electronics & Computer Engineering is NAAC A-accredited with NBA-accredited ECE programs, advanced VLSI, signal-processing, and embedded-systems labs, Practice School internships, and 75–85% placement consistency over the last three years with strong recruiter engagement in core and software roles. In contrast, VIT Vellore’s CSE is ABET and NAAC A++-accredited, features cutting-edge AI/ML and high-performance computing labs, and achieves 80–90% CSE placement consistency with an average package of ?9.90 LPA and marquee recruiters including Microsoft, Amazon, and Google. Both offer robust industry tie-ups, active placement cells, experienced PhD faculty, and modern infrastructure.

Recommendation Prioritize Thapar’s ECE & Computer Engineering if you value a dual-skill core-electronics and computing curriculum with assured ECE placement consistency; choose a private CSE program like VIT Vellore for superior CSE-specific placements, higher average packages, and specialized AI/ML infrastructure. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
