Ans: Parinda, If IAT results are not yet declared and you haven’t cleared JEE Advanced, you cannot register for IISc’s B.Sc. (Research) or B.Tech (Math and Computing) programs at this stage. For B.Sc. (Research), you need either a valid IAT or JEE Advanced score, so you must wait for official IAT results before applying. For B.Tech (Math and Computing), only JEE Advanced ranks are accepted, so without a qualifying rank, you are ineligible. Registration for IISc programs is only possible with an official, valid score from one of these entrance exams. Until you receive your IAT result or clear JEE Advanced, you cannot proceed with the application process for either of these IISc undergraduate programs. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Less competitive specialisation and less competitive institutions.

Ans: Yesterday, COMEDK result was declared. Please come back with your Rank to answer.

Ans: For software development, prioritize CSE (AI & DS) at NIT Warangal, which offers 89.5% placements with a curriculum integrating AI/ML, data science, and industry-aligned projects, supported by 260+ recruiters (Amazon, Microsoft) and NAAC A++ accreditation. NIT Rourkela CSE (avg. ?21.6 LPA, 134 students placed in 2024) provides robust core programming training and research opportunities but lags in specialized tech roles. MNIT Allahabad CSE (79.8% placements, avg. ?25.14 LPA) focuses on traditional software engineering with moderate industry ties. While all three institutes offer strong fundamentals, Warangal’s AI/DS specialization aligns better with evolving tech demands, Rourkela balances core CSE rigor, and MNIT suits those prioritizing institutional diversity. Confirm course structures and internship support during counseling for optimal skill development. All the BEST for your Son's Admission & a Prosperous Future!
