Sir, my son scored 97.61 percentile and 37864 general cat rank and Delhi home state. Is nit delhi worth studying in view of placement

Ans: HI SIR,
GREETINGS FROM THE REDIFFGURUS!
Generally, institutions provide a brand, and candidates must perform well in interviews. If a candidate is not qualified, there's no way the industry will accept them. The main advantage of campus recruitment is that the competition is among classmates rather than strangers. This means candidates are already aware of each other's strengths and weaknesses, which can facilitate achieving their goals more easily. Being a national institute, especially one located in Delhi, is definitely an advantage. So go ahead.

Sir I got AIR RANK 279230, percentile is 82.190,Gen Ews category rank 42670,will I get any low NITS

Ans: HI,
GREETINGS FROM THE REDIFFGURUS!
Securing a seat in lower-ranking NITs (new NITs) is possible based on your rank, especially during the CSAB special rounds or the later JoSAA rounds, particularly for less competitive branches. I recommend considering a degree in Mechanical Engineering. The healthcare system relies on medical devices developed in the engineering field, and you could also pursue a career as a medical device inspector (iT IS NEW JOB OPPORTUNITY FOR THE ENGINEERING GRADUATES).

hello sir my result just came and i got 83 percentile, i belong to st category and i also have delhi quota, my category rank was 4000 so can i get into nit delhi electrical engineering branch in the later rounds of csab counselling

Ans: HI STANZIN,
GREETINGS FROM THE REDIFFGURUS!
Based on the information you provided, it may be challenging to secure admission in Electrical Engineering at NIT Delhi. However, there may be more possibilities for other core branches, such as Mechanical and Civil Engineering. You might have a chance in the later rounds of the counseling process (CSAB). Therefore, I encourage you to actively participate in the counseling process until you achieve your goal.

Ans: HI,
GREETINGS FROM THE REDIFFGURUS!
Based on your rank, it is possible to secure a seat in VSSUT, especially if you belong to the home state and are applying for branches such as Mechanical, Civil, or Metallurgy, even in the earlier rounds. Later on, there may also be opportunities to change branches, potentially even in the second year. Please be patient and actively participate until the counselling process concludes.

hello sir, i got crl 79000 and i have obc ncl,will i have any chance at getting ece at iiitdm kancheepuram

Ans: You have not mentioned your home state. For IIITDM Kancheepuram ECE, your CRL of 79,000 is not the key factor; the OBC-NCL category rank is crucial. In 2024, the ECE OBC-NCL (gender-neutral) closing rank was 11,284, so unless your OBC rank is near this, chances are very low. ALL the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!
