I want to start a small cafe in Mumbai suburbs. My budget is 10-15 lakhs. Should I go for a franchise or set up something of my own? I am 45, married and have a pending home loan of 10 lakhs. I want to start this as a side income to help my wife become financially independent. Can you please guide me?

Ans: Potential NITs and Branches:

Top NITs: Securing branches like Civil Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, or Production Engineering in premier NITs such as NIT Trichy, NIT Warangal, or NIT Surathkal is plausible. While highly sought-after branches like Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) might have higher cut-offs, your PwD status enhances your chances.

Mid-Tier NITs: Institutes like NIT Durgapur, NIT Jamshedpur, and NIT Calicut may offer branches such as Electrical Engineering (EE), Mechanical Engineering (ME), or Chemical Engineering.

Newer NITs: NITs established more recently, such as NIT Uttarakhand, NIT Goa, and NIT Sikkim, often have more flexible cut-offs, increasing the likelihood of securing a seat in branches like Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) or Information Technology (IT).

Ans: At the time of form fill up give your 1st choice at first place even if there is no chance of getting that option. Then fill up other choices as per your preference. See previous year cut off.

Top NITs: Securing CSE in premier NITs such as NIT Trichy, NIT Warangal, or NIT Surathkal might be challenging due to higher cutoffs. However, branches like Electrical Engineering (EE), Mechanical Engineering (ME), or Civil Engineering (CE) could be attainable.

Mid-Tier NITs: Institutes like NIT Durgapur, NIT Hamirpur, and NIT Raipur may offer CSE seats for candidates with a 98 percentile. Other branches such as Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) and Information Technology (IT) are also likely options.
