Hello sir I secured 461117 rank in jee mains 2026 as an EWS student which is not well rank but I don't want to take drop for a year JEE presentation so I want to take an addmission in btech cse program and my home state is odisha so I want to know in which government engeneering colleges or best private colleges with low fee and well ROI can I take addmission in Colleges like VSSUT,OUTR,IGIT Sarang and silicon university bhubaneswar in CSE btech. Career

Ans: Chances with CSE at VSSUT/OUTR seem dim/nil. IGIT CSE is difficult/borderline. But private options like Silicon University and other Odisha private colleges are realistic for CSE. In government colleges, target lower branches at Indira Gandhi Institute of Technology, Sarang, or lower-tier state colleges rather than top Odisha govt CSE.

Good luck.

I got 98.223 percentile in jee mains and 28200 rank. I belong to general female category and home state is punjab Suggest some best college

Ans: Based on your score, CSE/IT/Data Science looks difficult at NIT Jalandhar because 2025 closing ranks were around 16k–25k, but Electrical Engineering is possible/borderline, and ECE/VLSI may be difficult but worth filling above EE. The preference order is NIT Jalandhar ECE/VLSI, EE, Mathematics & Computing if available, and then Instrumentation. Also try IIIT Una, IIIT Sonepat, IIIT Kota, IIIT Bhopal, and IIIT Nagpur for ECE/IT-related branches through JoSAA/CSAB. It is also advisable to have the following backup options: Thapar CSE/COE/AI, PEC Chandigarh lower branches, Chitkara CSE, LM Thapar School, CU Punjab/other state counselling options. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Career

Hi sir I am harshada ingale from Maharashtra After passing 10th I choose neet after listening my friend decision but now feel like this not for me, feeling burden type always regret So what do now? I leaving this rat race or not

Ans: If NEET genuinely doesn’t align with your interests or strengths, it’s reasonable to step off that path. Decide after honestly evaluating whether the stress stems from the exam pressure itself or from a deeper lack of interest in medicine, then choose the career direction you can sustain long term.

Good luck.
