Sir thank you but can I get to know how to prepare for jee advanced sir like how much marks will I require to qualify the particular criteria of jee advanced

Ans: You're welcome! Since you belong to the SC-PWD category, your JEE Advanced cutoff is much lower than the general category.
Qualifying for JEE Advanced (from JEE Mains): ~45-50 percentile (you already cleared this)

Sir i am currently in class 11 th and i just want to prepare for jee mains and advanced 2026 exam so give me some roadmap to achieve and also guide me for computer science
Ans: Shreya, I trust that you have already enrolled in a coaching center, whether it be online or in person, and have finished your eleventh syllabus. (1) If you have not yet created your own short-notes for the 11th syllabus that has been completed, prepare it and continue to revise them every three days until 2026, even after you have commenced studying the 12th syllabus in December 2024. (2) Review the questions that you have incorrectly answered or skipped in mock tests conducted by your Coaching Center and/or practiced independently. (3) In order to increase your rank/percentile by targeting computer science at a reputable college/institute, prioritize mathematics (although all three subjects are equally important). (4) You should be thorough with NCERT books, particularly those pertaining to chemistry, in conjunction with the materials provided by your coaching institute. (5) Have 1-2 reference books for each subject. Not exceeding two. (6) Review the questions that were incorrectly answered or skipped in your mock and practice exams and retake the test. It is advisable to maintain a distinct note-book for these types of questions, which should include answers and elucidating notes, in order to review them repeatedly for all three subjects. (7) Download the SYLLABUS of JEE Main 2025 (available on Google by searching for "JEE Main Information Bulletin") and print it out, as there will be no significant changes to the syllabus in 2026. Maintain it on your study table and continue to update the 11th syllabus chapters and concepts that you have covered to date by marking them with a checkmark. This will boost your confidence if you continue to update the same till November 2025. (8) A slight difference in Syllabus might be visible when you acquire the 2026 JEE Main / JEE Advanced Syllabus. The same can be resolved within 15 days to one month in 2025-26. (9) Increase your productivity by studying for 45 minutes to 1 hour, taking a 10-minute break, and then continuing for 45 minutes. (10) Take a 2-3 minute break every 45 minutes while practicing questions, whether offline or online. This break should consist of closing your eyes and taking long breaths to enhance your concentration and mental capacity. (11) Additionally, it is recommended that you acquire the 20-40 PREVIOUS years question paper book of JEE (Main & Advanced) from Amazon. Arihant's, Disha's, or MTG's publications are recommended. Once you have finished reading a chapter, practice and complete it to determine the extent to which you have comprehended the concepts and to identify areas that require improvement. (12) By October 2025, ensure that you have reviewed significantly more than 90% of the previous years questions. Your confidence will be further bolstered by this. (13) After the mock test is completed at your coaching center, clarify all incorrectly answered or ignored questions and continue to revise and practice them, as these types of questions will significantly disrupt your performance in the actual JEE. (14) If you are a regular school student, inquire with your class teacher about the minimum attendance requirement as outlined in the Board's regulations (State, CBSE, ICSE, etc.). Utilize the remaining 15% by taking time off and preparing for your JEE, if only 85% attendance is required. (15) THE MOST IMPORTANT Value Added Suggestion: Rather than solely relying on JEE, please participate in 5-7 entrance exams/counseling process with a JEE score for getting admission into any one of the private engineering colleges to have a variety of options to select the most suitable one. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future.

My son got 4400 rank in JEE Mains, 5100 in JEE Advanced. He got Chemical engineering in IIT Guwahati in Round 1 of JoSAA. He also got ECE in IIIT-Hyderabad. He is expecting to get CSE in IIT Tirupati or at the best to Chemical engineering in IIT Kharagpur in Round 6 of JoSAA. We are from Hyderabad.Which course/institute do we prefer now? To freeze which college/course in further rounds of JoSAA or to opt ECE in IIIT-Hyderabad? .
Ans: For a student from Hyderabad with JEE Main rank 4400 and JEE Advanced rank 5100, the main choices are Chemical Engineering at IIT Guwahati, ECE at IIIT Hyderabad, a likely chance at CSE in IIT Tirupati, and a possible Chemical seat at IIT Kharagpur. IIT Guwahati Chemical Engineering offers a strong placement rate (79%), average package of ?22.5 lakh, and broad core and non-core opportunities, with an IIT brand and robust campus life. IIIT Hyderabad ECE is among the best in India for tech placements, with a 98%+ placement rate, average package of ?21–29 lakh, and top recruiters like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon, plus a strong research ecosystem and Hyderabad location. IIT Tirupati CSE, if secured, provides a 73–77% placement rate and average package of ?20–25 lakh, but is a newer IIT with developing alumni and industry connections. IIT Kharagpur Chemical Engineering is highly respected, with an 83% placement rate and strong alumni network, but core placements are less lucrative than tech roles. The recommendation is to prefer ECE at IIIT Hyderabad for its unmatched placement outcomes, tech focus, and Hyderabad location, followed by CSE at IIT Tirupati (if allotted), then Chemical Engineering at IIT Guwahati or IIT Kharagpur, as IIIT Hyderabad ECE offers the best balance of career opportunities, industry exposure, and academic excellence among your current options. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hi sir my son got ece in AMRITHA and 11000 rank in comedk. Which is better option weather to go with AMRITHA or comedk counselling
Ans: Sheela Madam, With an ECE seat already secured at Amrita (likely at a campus other than Coimbatore) and a COMEDK rank of 11,000, your son will not be able to get CSE or ECE in top Bengaluru colleges like RVCE, BMSCE, or MSRIT, as their CSE and ECE cutoffs are typically below 10,000. However, he has good chances for CSE or ECE in reputable mid-tier colleges such as BNMIT, JSS Academy of Technical Education, RNS Institute of Technology, and Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology, where cutoffs for these branches often extend up to 12,000–17,000. Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham offers strong academic quality, robust placement records (over 200 companies, average CTC ?9 lakh), and a national reputation, especially for ECE, with modern infrastructure and a research-driven environment. COMEDK colleges may offer a Bengaluru location advantage and strong peer interaction, but Amrita’s ECE program is generally considered superior in terms of brand value, research exposure, and placement consistency, especially outside the top COMEDK colleges. The recommendation is to proceed with Amrita ECE unless your son secures a CSE or ECE seat in a top-10 COMEDK college, as Amrita offers better long-term prospects in academics and placements compared to most options available at his current COMEDK rank. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hello sir! I am Preetam, I secured 3468 rank in KCET, And I belong to category OBC-2AG, Comparing previous year cut offs, I may get CSE in top 5 Colleges except R V COLLEGE, I have visited both PES RR campus and MSRIT Campus, I am ready to take ECE in R V College. So I am in confusion in choosing CSE in PES RR campus or MSRIT Campus? Please anyone suggest me, which is better to choose?
Ans: Preetam, Between CSE at PES University RR Campus and CSE at MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology (MSRIT), both are top-tier choices in Karnataka with strong academic reputations and excellent placement records. PES University RR Campus reported an 83% placement rate for BTech in 2023 with a large student intake and consistent recruiter interest, while MSRIT achieved a 95% placement rate, with CSE being the most sought-after branch and attracting the highest number of job offers from over 350 top recruiters, including Amazon, Google, and Microsoft. MSRIT’s CSE program is widely regarded as one of the best in the state, with a robust curriculum, experienced faculty, and strong industry connections, leading to high placement rates and competitive average packages. PES University’s CSE program is also highly respected, benefiting from its location in Bangalore’s tech hub and offering strong industry exposure, but recent placement rates have seen a slight dip compared to MSRIT. Both campuses offer modern infrastructure, research opportunities, and active student development programs, but MSRIT’s consistently higher placement rate and reputation for CSE give it a slight edge for students focused on computer science careers. The recommendation is to choose CSE at MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology over PES University RR Campus, as MSRIT offers superior placement outcomes, industry acceptance, and long-term career prospects in computer science. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
