My son got 98.7932percentile rank 19328,in jee mains which nit, iiit he will get. Computer science, electrical, electronics branch. Which branch will be good
Ans: Rahul Sir, before I suggest which NIT, IIIT, or GFTI your son might get into—and which branch could suit him—let me share a quick thought. All branches are good if he's genuinely interested in one. The real key is keeping his skills sharp (tech and soft skills), building a strong professional profile over the next 4 years, networking smartly with classmates, alumni, and pros in his field, staying active on LinkedIn, and tracking job trends on career sites. If his interests shift in 2nd or 3rd year—or job markets change—he should adapt. Joining a good college matters, but his success hinges on these steps. Now answering your question: Your son has good chances for ECE/EE in several NITs/IIITs, but CSE in top NITs is difficult. Still, he can try. For CSE/IT, target IIIT Sonepat, IIIT Una, IIIT Kota, IIIT Guwahati, IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Sri City, IIIT Vadodara, IIIT Bhopal/Surat/Nagpur depending on the year-wise cutoff. For ECE/Electronics, chances are better in NIT Jalandhar, NIT Hamirpur, NIT Delhi, NIT Patna, NIT Raipur, NIT Durgapur, NIT Silchar, NIT Goa, NIT Meghalaya, NIT Agartala. For Electrical, he may get stronger NIT options like NIT Bhopal, Durgapur, Patna, Raipur, Jalandhar, Silchar. 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 have backup options of 4-5 reputed Private Engineering Colleges in and around your son's Home State. All the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!
