Son studying at IIT Kanpur in MSE: What job opportunities await him?

Ans: Please mention your Home State, Gender, and Category to answer precisely. Also, clarify what other Entrance Exams you have appeared for/yet to appear.

Ans: Admission to top NITS/IIITs seems unlikely. You can try lower-ranked govt colleges/IIITs or state colleges for CSE, or consider other branches in NITs via CSAB.

Good luck.

Ans: You have not mentioned your daughter's home state. Anyway, please note, with an 89.28 percentile as an EWS female candidate, the chances of securing a CSE seat in top NITs or IIITs are low. However, she may have opportunities in lower-ranked branches at newer NITs, some IIITs, and GFTIs, with better prospects during the CSAB special rounds. You can consider applying to IIIT Kurnool, IIIT Manipur, IIIT Dharwad, IIIT Raichur, IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Kalyani, and various GFTIs. While CSE and ECE seats may be challenging to obtain, other branches might become available in later rounds or through CSAB. It is advisable to also explore backup options through state counseling and reputable private universities. ALL the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!

Ans: You can try PEC Chandigarh through JAC Chandigarh separately, not JoSAA. Through JoSAA/CSAB, fill IIIT Una, IIIT Sonepat, IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Manipur, IIIT Raichur, IIIT Dharwad, but CSE/ECE may mostly depend on CSAB vacancy movement. You must have backup options of JAC Chandigarh, HSTES Haryana, Punjab colleges, IPU Delhi, Private Universities, and State counselling. Prioritise branch interest + placement record, not only institute tag. ALL the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!

Ans: Chances with South NITs are slim. You may try for lower branches in lower NITs. Yet the chances are on the borderline. Better to keep an alternative option open.

Good luck.

Ans: At CRL 28,550, NIT CSE is difficult, including MNNIT Allahabad CSE. Better CSE chances are in IIITs, especially IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Agartala, IIIT Raichur, IIIT Dharwad, IIIT Manipur, IIIT Kottayam, IIIT Una/Sonepat in later rounds or CSAB. Some 2024 IIIT CSE closing ranks crossed 30k–37k. Also fill ECE/IT/AI-related branches in better IIITs and lower NIT branches. Have CSAB as a backup option. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Ans: At CRL 25,624, General male, Telangana HS, Mechanical is a realistic target. NIT Warangal Mechanical may be difficult in regular JoSAA, as recent HS Open Mechanical closing ranks were around 15k–17k in early 2025 rounds and around 15k in 2024 Round 1. Better Mechanical options: NIT Calicut, NIT Rourkela, NIT Durgapur, NIT Patna, NIT Raipur, MANIT Bhopal, VNIT Nagpur, NIT Jalandhar, NIT Silchar, plus CSAB round. Also consider NIT Warangal Metallurgy/Chemical/Civil. dditionally, please review the JoSAA opening and closing ranks from the last 2-3 years to gain further insights and better understand admission trends. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Ans: Dinesh Sir, CSAB Special Rounds try karo, GFTIs/newer institutes mein lower branches, aur private/state options. Sikar se padha hai to confirm karo ki Home State eligibility Rajasthan school state follow karega ya UP hometown. JoSAA & CSAB pe sirf depend mat karo, ye backups rakho: AKTU/UP counselling, REAP Rajasthan, IPU Delhi, BCA/B.Sc IT, Private CSE/AI colleges. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Ans: If your son’s Session 2 shows "Result Later”, it usually means the NTA has kept the result on hold for verification (may be due to document/photo/signature mismatch or data review), so apart from waiting, keep checking the official JEE portal regularly, ensure all uploaded details were correct, and meanwhile send a follow-up email with application number and proof plus try contacting through multiple NTA helplines. If it still doesn’t resolve soon, raise a grievance on the NTA portal or visit a nearby facilitation center if available.

(One more possibility - Please ask your son if anything went wrong at the exam center with him, i.e., with the invigilator or with anyone else? If the invigilator has noted anything about him, the NTA may also keep the result on hold.)

Good luck.
