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!
