Sure Sir. Her PES jee rank is 2972 and rank is 3055. Like you suggested , we visited Manipal campus and happy with everything in Manipal. This year onwards there is no option in choice filling on any specialisations in Manipal, so I think no of cse seats will be more. My daughter is aiming CSE in Manipal main campus , is there chances in first round or do we need to wait for further rounds. Also in PES we need till ECE in RR campus, is it possible in any rounds? Also pes team said if we are not opting the seats that is given and want to go for next round, we might lose the allotted seat and also can’t expect our desired seat in upcoming rounds. Please give us clarity on how it works and what should we do?

Ans: With a MET rank of 3,055, securing CSE at MIT Manipal in the first round is unlikely (2024 Round 1 cutoff: ~1,633), but feasible in later rounds as cutoffs typically drop by 30–40% by Round 3. For PES RR ECE, your PES JEE rank of 2,972 aligns with 2024 cutoffs (~3,000–3,200), making it accessible in early rounds. However, declining a PES seat to wait for Manipal risks losing both, as PES does not guarantee seat retention across rounds. Prioritize PES RR ECE if institutional reputation and location matter, or hold for Manipal CSE in later rounds if branch preference is critical, accepting potential vacancy risks. Confirm if Manipal allows intra-campus sliding post-allotment to upgrade branches without losing the initial seat.

Good evening sir my daughter got very low percentile in jee mains (50 )and 71% in cbse class 12 . She wants to pursue btech cse which private would be best within budget of 10-12 lakhs, her home state is madhya pradesh & lives in gurgaon
Ans: Good Morning! In selecting private B.Tech CSE colleges within a ?10–12 lakh budget, five critical factors must be evaluated: faculty expertise and industry ties, modern CSE labs and computing infrastructure, strong industry partnerships with internship pathways, NBA/NAAC/AICTE accreditation, and consistent placement performance. In Madhya Pradesh, top choices include LNCT University Bhopal (85% placement), Technocrats Institute of Technology Bhopal (82% UG placement), Sagar Institute of Science and Technology Bhopal (70% placement), RKDF University Bhopal, Truba Group of Institutes Bhopal, Acropolis Institute of Technology Indore (70–80% placement), Medi-Caps University Indore, Oriental University Indore, SAGE University Indore, and Gyan Ganga College of Excellence Jabalpur. In Gurgaon/NCR, recommended options are Amity University Noida, Galgotias University Greater Noida, Jaypee Institute of Information Technology Noida (91.47% CSE placement), SRM Institute of Science & Technology (Ghaziabad campus), SRM University Sonepat, Manav Rachna University Faridabad, Sushant University Gurgaon, GD Goenka University Gurgaon, Lingaya’s Vidyapeeth Faridabad, and Sharda University Greater Noida.

recommendation: Prioritize LNCT University Bhopal or Technocrats Institute of Technology Bhopal for strong MP-based CSE education with proven 80%+ placements; consider JIIT Noida or Amity University Noida as top NCR alternatives offering 90%+ CSE placement consistency; keep Acropolis Indore and Galgotias University as cost-effective backups with robust industry partnerships and accreditation. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir I have obc rank 1104 in jee advanced. Iam getting iit ropar cse In both round. I want iit indore mnc having closing rank 941 in round 2. I have more chance of getting Iit guwahati electronic and electrical engineering and iit Hyderabad electrical engineering having closing rank 976 and 996. Should I take risk for desired branch in round 6
Ans: With an OBC-NCL rank of 1104, IIT Ropar CSE is a confirmed seat (closing rank 1154) offering 87.95% average placement over three years, strong faculty engagement, modern labs, robust industry partnerships, NBA accreditation, and active research culture . IIT Indore Mathematics & Computing (closing rank 941) delivers 90% placement, interdisciplinary curriculum, advanced computational and mathematics labs, international collaborations, and UoE status, but your rank exceeds its cutoff, making admission unlikely . IIT Guwahati EEE (closing rank 2066) features 84% placement, specialized high-voltage and core electronics facilities, experienced faculty, NIRF-ranked labs, and strong PSU and tech recruiter ties . IIT Hyderabad EE (closing rank 1781) provides 75% placement, cutting-edge power electronics and IC design labs, multidisciplinary research, international MoUs, and NAAC A++ accreditation .

Recommendation: Do not risk IIT Indore M&C as your rank falls outside its cutoff; accept IIT Ropar CSE for guaranteed admission and high placement, or upgrade to IIT Guwahati EEE or IIT Hyderabad EE in Round 6 if branch preference for core electronics outweighs the certainty of the Ropar CSE seat. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
