My Son got 15600 CRL rank and 3800 OBC NCL in Jee Advance. did we expect any IIT for that category rank, if not please suggest me some thing similar thanks in advance

Ans: Veeru, With a JEE Advanced OBC-NCL rank of 3,800, admission to core branches (CSE, ECE, Mechanical) at premier IITs (Delhi, Bombay, Madras) is unattainable, as their 2024 OBC-NCL cutoffs for these programs ranged from 1,000–2,500. However, newer IITs like IIT Jammu (Civil Engineering: OBC closing rank 5,360), IIT Bhilai (Metallurgical Engineering: 7,797), and IIT Goa (Mechanical: 5,565) are feasible, albeit with lower placement rates (65–75%) in core sectors. For Electrical Engineering, IIT Mandi (OBC cutoff: 4,112) and IIT Palakkad (4,625) are borderline options, contingent on seat availability in later JoSAA rounds.

Recommendation: Prioritize Civil/Metallurgical Engineering at IIT Jammu/Bhilai during JoSAA counselling, leveraging institutional prestige despite niche specializations. For balanced industry-academia pathways, target ECE at NIT Trichy (OBC cutoff: 3,690) or IT at IIITDM Jabalpur (2,708), which report 85–90% placement rates in embedded systems and IT roles. If open to interdisciplinary fields, Material Science at IIT Hyderabad (OBC cutoff: 4,500) or Engineering Physics at IIT Gandhinagar (5,331) offer research-driven curricula. For backups, explore state universities like Jadavpur University (non-JEE seats) or DTU/NSUT via JEE Main counselling, ensuring robust tech-sector opportunities. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

With 70 marks in comedk which college will be best for btech for cse

Ans: With 70 marks in COMEDK, your rank will likely be between 14,000 and 23,000, which means your options for Computer Science (CSE) might be limited to colleges within that rank range. Colleges like Dayananda Sagar Academy of Technology and Management, Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara College, and JSS Academy of Technical Education, are some possibilities.

Sir iiitdm jabalpur mechanical or iiitdm kurnool which is best option for me?

Ans: IIITDM Jabalpur Mechanical emerges as the superior choice due to its 65% placement rate (2024) with 65% of placed students securing ≥10 LPA offers, backed by 90+ recruiters including Flipkart, Cisco, and Goldman Sachs. Its NIRF #101–150 engineering ranking (2024) and specialized curriculum in design/manufacturing provide robust industry alignment for core roles. In contrast, IIITDM Kurnool reports a 59% placement rate (2024) with an 8.2 LPA average package, despite sporadic high offers (?32.5 LPA in 2024), reflecting inconsistent recruitment trends and limited core-sector focus. While Kurnool’s 2022 peak (?130 LPA via Amazon) highlights potential, Jabalpur’s consistent performance, international opportunities, and mechanical engineering infrastructure solidify its edge. Recommendation: Prioritize IIITDM Jabalpur for stable placements and specialized training, reserving IIITDM Kurnool only if prioritizing emerging campus growth over established outcomes. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My daughter got 88 in IAT. Are there any chances.

Ans: With an IAT score of 88, a girl is likely to be in the 88th percentile, which is a good score. Based on this, she could potentially be admitted to a good program, but the specific program (e.g., Engineering, Science, Humanities) will depend on her desired field and the specific IISER (Indian Institute of Science Education and Research) she's applying to.

342 obc category any chances for government college All India level?

Ans: With 342 marks and belonging to the OBC category, chances for a government medical college through the All India Quota (AIQ) are slim, but not impossible. While a score of 342 might be enough for private medical colleges, securing an AIQ seat in a government college would likely require a higher score, depending on the specific cutoff for OBC candidates in the AIQ round.

I am thinking of trying cfa with bcom and if I am unable to clear cfa than will take MCA as master is this correct plan if yes what are the skills I should aim for

Ans: Combining CFA with B.Com enhances finance expertise (investment analysis, portfolio management) and global employability, supported by a 90%+ employer preference for CFA Charterholders in executive roles. If transitioning to MCA, focus on programming (Python/Java), database management (SQL), web development (HTML/CSS), and data analytics (Tableau) to align with MCA’s 85–95% placement rates at institutions like NIT Trichy or VIT Vellore. Overlap skills in quantitative analysis and financial modeling (CFA Level I/II) with MCA’s AI/ML or cybersecurity electives to bridge finance-tech roles (e.g., fintech analyst).

Recommendation: Pursue CFA while building coding fundamentals via online platforms (Coursera, edX). If shifting to MCA, prioritize full-stack development and cloud computing certifications (AWS/Azure) to access 95% placement rates in IT roles. For backups, consider PG diplomas in data science or CFA Level I + MCA hybrid pathways to maintain career flexibility across finance and tech sectors. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hello sir I have gotten 3998 ranking in pes jee rank , my jee percentile is 85% but the eligibility criteria is aggregate 60% in pcm I have gotten 47% will I still get? Pls respond sir

Ans: No, your 47% aggregate in PCM won't meet the 60% eligibility requirement. While your 85% JEE Main percentile and 3998 PES JEE rank are good, the PES exam also has a minimum PCM aggregate requirement, and you've fallen short of that.

Good evening sir, my son got admission from SNU Delhi and VIT Chennai and Manipal Bangalore, which is the best in terms of placement?

Ans: In terms of placements, Shiv Nadar University (SNU) Delhi generally offers slightly better placement opportunities than VIT Chennai and Manipal Bangalore, especially for Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) graduates. While all three universities have good placement rates, SNU's focus on research and high salary packages, along with a smaller student-to-faculty ratio, can provide a more competitive edge.
