CA Inter Exam: Seeking Guidance for May 2023 Attempt

Ans: The question is very vague. You did not mention your home state and category. Assuming you are from the open category, the chances of getting into top NITs/IIITs are slim. But you can try newer NITs/lower IIITs for less in-demand branches.

Good luck.

Ans: Chances are there, but admission is borderline/competitive and will depend on this year’s cutoff, category, and seat matrix.

Good luck.

Ans: Chances seem dim/slim. Only lower-demand branches may be possible in late rounds/CSAB if cutoffs stretch significantly. Keep a close eye on the previous year's closing ranks of the mentioned NITs and the choice preference form filling for the 2026 admission process.

Good luck.

Ans: Prefer CSE @ UPES Dehradun because academically both are broadly comparable for CSE, and proximity/family support can matter more than a marginal brand difference

Good luck.

Ans: You have not mentioned your son's home state. Better preference order is MIT-Jaipur, MIT-Bengaluru, VIT-V, and then NIT Nagaland / IIIT Bhagalpur (ECE) (decent government-college value; ECE is safe, but campus maturity and recruitment are more limited than VIT/Manipal, followed by IIIT Manipur (CSE)—a newer IIIT (choose only if budget is tight and you prefer government fees). All the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Ans: Aryan, Yes, NIT Hamirpur B.Arch is possible but not guaranteed. In 2024, NIT Hamirpur B.Arch Home State closing rank was around 5973, so as a Himachal female OBC candidate with rank 5000, you have a fair chance, especially in later JoSAA/CSAB rounds. Also fill NIT Patna, NIT Raipur, MANIT Bhopal, SPA Bhopal/Vijayawada/Delhi if eligible, plus CSAB Special Round. Keep state/private architecture colleges as backup. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: Based on your daughter's score, NIT Warangal CSE/AI is unlikely. 2024 HS female CSE closed around 4,625, and CSE–AI/Data Science around 3,387. NIT Warangal EEE/ECE may be borderline-to-difficult, but keep them high. Better realistic choices are NIT Calicut, NIT Rourkela, NIT Durgapur, NIT Delhi, NIT Jalandhar, NIT Kurukshetra for ECE/EE, and newer NITs for CSE/AI-related branches. For IIITs, try IIIT Gwalior, Jabalpur, Lucknow, Guwahati, Kottayam, Sri City, Nagpur, Pune, and Ranchi for CSE/ECE. Additionally, reviewing JoSAA opening and closing ranks from the past 2–3 years will provide valuable insights and help your daughter confidently select and fill her preferred & maximum number of choices. All the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!

Ans: You have not mentioned your home state. Anyway, please note that based on your score, core CSE in NITs is difficult, except possibly in lower-demand/newer NITs only through CSAB if vacancies arise. Your better chances for CSE/IT are in newer IIITs/GFTIs such as IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Bhopal, IIIT Kottayam, IIIT Una, IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Dharwad, IIIT Nagpur, IIIT Ranchi depending on round/year. In NITs, prefer ECE/EE if the college tag matters. Fill out the maximum number of choices in JoSAA. Also apply to CSAB, state counselling, and 3-4 other reputed private engineering colleges. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!
