these are the best available for her in TOP nits

Ans: If your want to study CSE then Integrated 5 YR IT+MBA can be a very good option at IIIT Gwalior. rather than Raipur or Goa. Mech seems possible at Warangal.

Ans: Hello Hari
it will be very difficult to get NITs or IIITs at this percentile.

Ans: Sneha, At 71 percentile, even with OBC-NCL, chances for a good NIT/IIIT/GFTI are very low unless your OBC category rank is unusually better. JoSAA clearly says OBC-NCL cut-offs are based on OBC category rank, not percentile alone.

You may still fill JoSAA + CSAB Special Rounds, because CSAB fills vacant NIT/IIIT/GFTI seats after JoSAA, but expect only very low-demand branches or GFTIs, not CSE/ECE. Better to focus on REAP Rajasthan counselling, where many Rajasthan engineering colleges take admission through JEE Main rank. Target SKIT Jaipur, JECRC, Poornima, Arya, Anand ICE, GIT Jaipur, JIET Jodhpur, BKBIET Pilani, or private universities like Manipal Jaipur, NIIT University, LPU, Chandigarh University, UPES, SRM, VIT etc. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: At the 79.6 percentile, your likely CRL may be roughly 2.8–3.2 lakh, so NIT/IIIT through JoSAA is very difficult, especially for CSE/ECE. You can still register for JoSAA/CSAB, because CSAB fills vacant NIT/IIIT/GFTI seats after JoSAA, but expect only very low-demand branches/GFTIs if any seat remains. Since you studied in Haryana, focus more on HSTES Haryana counselling, where B.Tech admission is based on JEE Main All India Rank. Good practical options: DCRUST Murthal, YMCA Faridabad, UIET Kurukshetra, GJUST Hisar, PIET Panipat, Manav Rachna, Chandigarh University, LPU, NIIT University, UPES etc. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: Based on your son’s score, he has some chance, but mainly for lower-demand branches, not CSE or ECE in the better NITs. For Haryana home-state quota, the first preference should be NIT Kurukshetra under the HS-SC category, but realistically the likely options may be Civil, Production, Mechanical-related, or other lower branches if the cutoff moves enough; CSE, IT, and ECE are unlikely.

In some previous years, NIT Kurukshetra HS-SC lower branches have closed around 6,000 to 9,000 SC rank, so your son’s 7,663 SC rank is borderline. He should also keep options such as NIT Agartala, Sikkim, Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, and GFTIs in the list, and participate in CSAB Special Rounds as well.

It is also advisable to keep these as backup options: YMCA Faridabad, DCRUST Murthal, and UIET Kurukshetra. All the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Ans: Ashok Sir, Prefer IIIT Allahabad IT slightly over MNNIT Allahabad CSE if he wants pure coding/IT culture and top tech placements; IIIT-A’s official placement page shows strong IT-focused outcomes. MNNIT CSE is also excellent, with an average salary package of ?28 LPA for CSE reported recently. All the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Ans: ou have not mentioned your son's home state. For CSE in top NITs, chances are low. He may have better chances for CSE/IT/ECE in newer IIITs such as IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Kottayam, IIIT Dharwad, IIIT Una, IIIT Senapati/Manipur, IIIT Kurnool, depending on category and round movement. In NITs, he should also fill ECE/EE/Mathematics & Computing/AI-related lower options if available, not only CSE. Additionally, reviewing JoSAA opening and closing ranks from the past 2–3 years will provide valuable insights and help your son confidently select and fill his preferred & maximum number of choices. It is also advisable to participate in CSAB round because vacant seats can move & also to have 3-4 backup options of reputed Private Engineering Colleges in and around your home state. All the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

Ans: Aryan, With 85.5 percentile and OBC-NCL rank 78,000, CSE through NIT/IIIT is not realistic, so focusing on MMMUT Gorakhpur and UP/private options is sensible. For MMMUT, check counselling carefully. Recent data shows even ECE/IoT closing around the 70k–80k range in early rounds, so CSE at your rank may be difficult, but lower branches or later rounds may be possible; still, you can try for CSE. MMMUT CSE is respected in eastern UP, with decent coding culture and a government-fee advantage with good placement records. It is advisable to have the following as backups KIET, AKGEC, JSS Noida, GL Bajaj, Galgotias, NIET, ABES, IILM, Bennett, Sharda for CSE. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future!
