SRI Question by SRI on Jun 21, 2025Hindi

Sir my son sudhir akash 95.60 percentile Jee mains OBC NCL rank 20457 General rank 66467 Can I get it which nit or iiit possible sir And VIT CHENNAI CSE AI ML HOLD THE SEAT FOR STAND BY and IISER SCORE 120 which IISER can get and IIST RANK PRESENTLY WL OBC NCL AROUND 720 More confusion which only will choose how long will wait and which one choose Please suggest good one sir and resolve my confusions Waiting for your reply sir

Ans: Sri Sir, With a JEE Main percentile of 95.60 (CRL 66,467, OBC-NCL 20,457), your son is not eligible for CSE in top NITs or IIITs, as OBC closing ranks for CSE in most NITs are below 12,000–15,000 and for IIITs typically under 15,000–18,000. However, he may get lower-demand branches in newer NITs (like NIT Mizoram, Nagaland, Puducherry, or Sikkim) or CSE/IT in some GFTIs and newer IIITs with higher closing ranks, especially in CSAB rounds. VIT Chennai CSE (AI/ML) is a strong backup, but admission is strictly through VITEEE, and the seat should be held only if he has already cleared the VITEEE cutoff and completed admission formalities. With an IISER IAT score of 120, he is on the borderline for IISER Bhopal, Mohali, or Tirupati, but has a good chance for IISER Berhampur, as last year’s closing OBC ranks for these institutes were around 900–2,400 for BS-MS and BS programs. For IIST, with an OBC-NCL waitlist rank of 720, admission is possible only if the list moves significantly in the final rounds or spot admissions, which is uncertain but not impossible.

The recommendation is to keep VIT Chennai CSE (AI/ML) as a secure option, actively participate in CSAB and IISER counseling (prioritizing IISER Berhampur and Tirupati), and monitor IIST waitlist movement until the final spot round; choose VIT Chennai if no higher-preference IISER or IIST seat is confirmed, as it ensures strong placements and academic quality. In case of VIT, plese check the REFUND policy in case if you withdraw the seat. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

How to balance both that I took integrated msc physics from amritha also I want NEET partial drop how can I manage both
Ans: Sree, Balancing an Integrated M.Sc. Physics from Amrita University with NEET partial drop preparation requires strategic planning, disciplined time management, and smart resource allocation. The five-year Integrated M.Sc. Physics programme at Amrita's School of Physical Sciences operates under semester-based curriculum with rigorous academic schedule including mid-term examinations, assignments, and regular assessments. Since NEET 2026 is expected to be conducted on May 3, 2026, partial droppers must dedicate 3-4 hours daily to NEET preparation while maintaining college attendance and academic performance. Essential strategies include early morning study sessions (6:00-8:00 AM) for Biology NCERT reading, utilizing college breaks for quick revision, attending evening online coaching sessions, and weekend intensive practice with mock tests. Priority should be given to Biology as it carries 50% weightage in NEET, followed by Chemistry and Physics, with NCERT books serving as the foundation supplemented by MTG Fingertips for Biology and reference books for conceptual clarity. Online coaching platforms like Physics Wallah, Unacademy, and Vedantu offer flexible timing suitable for partial droppers, providing live classes, recorded lectures, doubt-clearing sessions, and comprehensive test series. Time management becomes crucial—leveraging Amrita's academic calendar breaks, utilizing commute time for revision, maintaining separate study materials for college and NEET, and ensuring adequate sleep of 7-8 hours for optimal cognitive performance. Success depends on maintaining consistency, avoiding procrastination, seeking support from mentors, and balancing both academic commitments without compromising either, as many partial droppers have successfully cracked NEET while pursuing their undergraduate degrees.

Recommendation: Given the demanding nature of both programs, maintain a strict daily schedule with 4-5 hours dedicated to NEET preparation, prioritize biology and chemistry overlap with your Physics curriculum, utilize online coaching for flexibility, and ensure consistent practice through daily MCQs and weekly mock tests while actively participating in college academics to maintain good standing. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
