Ans: As a non-Maharashtrian with a JEE Main percentile of 67 and an MHT CET percentile of 88, you are not eligible for top government colleges like COEP Pune, VJTI Mumbai, or ICT Mumbai, as their cutoffs are much higher for both exams and state quota is prioritized. However, you can secure admission in reputable private engineering colleges in Maharashtra such as MIT World Peace University Pune, Dr. D.Y. Patil College of Engineering Akurdi, Vishwakarma Institute of Technology Pune, Bharati Vidyapeeth College of Engineering Pune, G.H. Raisoni College of Engineering Nagpur, and Ramrao Adik Institute of Technology Mumbai, where cutoffs for branches like Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, and sometimes IT are within your percentile range. For JEE Main, government colleges are unlikely, but many private colleges accept your score and offer a variety of branches.

The recommendation is to target private colleges such as MIT-WPU Pune, D.Y. Patil College of Engineering Akurdi, Vishwakarma Institute of Technology, and Bharati Vidyapeeth Pune for branches like Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, or IT, as these are accessible at your percentile and offer good placement support and academic quality. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: With your COMEDK rank, you are eligible for Civil Engineering at RVCE, where the 2025 cutoff for Civil is expected between 14,550–15,550, while CSE and allied branches at RVCE require much higher ranks (CSE cutoff is below 600). At Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI), your JEE Main rank allows you to secure Computer Engineering (CSE) and Electrical Engineering, with the 2024 closing ranks for CSE and Electrical being 34,174 and 89,764 respectively for the general category, and even more relaxed for reserved categories. JMI’s CSE and Electrical programs have strong placement records, experienced faculty, and are located in Delhi, offering better industry exposure compared to Civil at RVCE. CSE at JMI is especially valued for its curriculum and placement outcomes, while Electrical also offers solid prospects. RVCE Civil is well regarded regionally but does not match the national reputation or placement scope of JMI’s CS and Electrical branches.

The recommendation is to choose Computer or Electrical Engineering at Jamia Millia Islamia, as these programs provide better career prospects, placement opportunities, and industry exposure than Civil Engineering at RVCE at your current ranks. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: With a KCET rank of 33,415 in the SC category, your son will not be able to secure Computer Science Engineering (CSE) in top Bangalore colleges like RVCE, BMSCE, MSRIT, or PES University. The 2024 KCET closing ranks for CSE in the SC category were 4,706 at RVCE, 2,131 at BMSCE, and 26,769 at MSRIT, all significantly lower than your son's rank. Even in the final rounds, these colleges rarely see CSE cutoffs for SC candidates go beyond 10,000–27,000, and for PES University, the cutoffs are even more competitive. While MSRIT’s closing rank for SC in CSE was 26,769, your son's rank of 33,415 is outside this range. Placement rates for CSE in these institutes are high, with 93–97% of students placed at RVCE, BMSCE, and MSRIT, and top recruiters visiting annually. However, for your son's rank, he may get lower-demand branches or CSE in newer or less competitive colleges, but not in these top-tier institutes.

The recommendation is to explore CSE or IT in emerging Bangalore colleges or consider allied branches in better-ranked institutes, as CSE in RVCE, BMSCE, MSRIT, or PES University is not possible at a 33,415 SC rank this year. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
