Ans: Ananya, JSSATE Noida’s IT stream records 85–90% placement rates with an average package around ?4.5 LPA and top recruiters like Microsoft, Infosys, and Amazon, bolstered by an engaged alumni society and prime Noida sector-62 location offering easy industry access. KIET Ghaziabad CSE, conferred UGC autonomy in 2024–25, maintains roughly 90% placement with an average package of ?7.1 LPA in CSE, highest offers near ?49 LPA and support from over 10,000 alumni, reflecting robust industry partnerships and curricular flexibility. The recommendation is to opt for KIET Ghaziabad CSE for its superior placement outcomes, autonomous governance, and expansive alumni network. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: With an SC rank of 50 (assumed rank & not marks) in KIITEE, you are safely within the typical closing rank for CSE (general cutoff ~5044 last year) and meet the SC qualifying threshold of 40%, benefiting from 400+ recruiters and over 5,000 job offers annually. A JEE Main SC rank of 28,000 far exceeds the CSE closing rank at top NITs like Trichy (Round 1 OS cutoff 299–1,019) and is unlikely to secure a seat. Similarly, an IISER IAT SC rank of 9,570 is well above SC closing ranks (≤739) at IISERs. The recommendation is to join KIIT CSE for assured admission, strong industry linkages, and high placement prospects. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: With a 31.18 MHT CET percentile in the OBC category and a JEE Main AIR of 367 000 (OBC rank ~131 000), CAP round cutoffs for core CSE are unattainable—Vidyalankar (94–97 percentile), Thadomal Shahani (96+), SIES GST (92–95) and Terna (93) require much higher percentiles. No CAP-based CSE options exist in Mumbai, Thane or Navi Mumbai at this percentile. The recommendation is to pursue CSE through management quota at colleges like Fr. CRIT or PICT or pivot to allied streams such as E&TC or AI/ML with lower cutoffs, as CAP rounds will not secure a CSE seat. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: With a VITEEE seat for CSE (AI & ML) Category 1 at VIT-AP, a confirmed seat at Scaler School of Technology Bangalore, and a 6297 AP EAPCET rank (General EWS), you have three distinct pathways. VIT-AP offers a well-established B.Tech CSE (AI & ML) program with 90%+ placement rates, over 900 recruiters, and strong industry connections; its average packages and placement outcomes are robust, with alumni in top global companies. Scaler School of Technology, though new, boasts a 95% placement record (from Scaler Academy data), partnerships with 900+ companies, and a 96.3% internship rate for its first batch, but its undergraduate program’s first placements are yet to be fully proven. With your EAPCET rank, CSE in top AP government colleges like JNTU Kakinada or Andhra University is out of reach (CSE closes near 2,500–3,500 for EWS), but you may secure CSE or allied branches in reputed private colleges such as GVP Vizag, VR Siddhartha, or Aditya Engineering College, where cutoffs for CSE range up to 6,000–8,000 for EWS and higher for other branches. VIT-AP’s AI & ML program is interdisciplinary, industry-aligned, and provides strong exposure to AI, ML, and data science, preparing graduates for high-demand tech roles. Scaler’s curriculum is cutting-edge, with hands-on projects and mandatory internships, but as a new institution, its long-term placement consistency is not yet established.

The recommendation is to prioritize VIT-AP CSE (AI & ML) Category 1 for its proven placement track record, established industry reputation, and comprehensive curriculum, while keeping Scaler School of Technology as a strong alternative if you value an innovative, startup-like environment and are comfortable with some risk. Participate in AP EAPCET counselling for private colleges as a backup, but VIT-AP offers the most balanced and reliable academic and career prospects among your current options. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: At an OBC-NCL rank of 31,000 in the IISER IAT exam, there is no realistic chance of admission to any IISER in 2025. The most recent and reliable sources show that the OBC-NCL closing ranks for the least competitive IISERs—such as Berhampur, Tirupati, and Mohali—are consistently between 1,800 and 2,500, with the highest closing rank at IISER Berhampur expected around 2,500, and other IISERs like Bhopal, Mohali, and Tirupati closing between 1,400 and 2,400. Even in the final rounds, OBC-NCL seats have not been allotted to candidates with ranks anywhere near 31,000, and the expected cutoff for 2025 remains in this tight range due to limited seats and high competition. Marks-wise, the OBC-NCL cutoff is expected to be 100–110 out of 240, but your rank is far above the cutoff range for seat allocation.

The recommendation is to explore alternative science programs at central or state universities or private institutes, as admission to any IISER with an OBC-NCL rank of 31,000 is not possible in 2025, even in the last rounds. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Premila, You have not mentioned what is your category is. With a category rank of 1800 in IISER 2025, your chances of getting a seat in any IISER are very slim. The expected closing ranks for most IISERs in the general category are below 4000, but for OBC-NCL and other reserved categories, the cutoffs are much tighter—typically ranging from 817 (Kolkata), 1305 (Bhopal), 1409 (Trivandrum), to 2327 (Berhampur) for OBC-NCL, and even lower for SC/ST and EWS. For the general category, the closing ranks in 2024 for the least competitive IISERs were around 4000 (Berhampur, Tirupati), while for OBC-NCL, they ranged between 1300 and 2300 depending on the campus. If your 1800 rank is for a reserved category like OBC-NCL, you may have a borderline chance for IISER Berhampur, Tirupati, or Thiruvananthapuram in the later rounds, as these campuses have historically closed between 1400 and 2300 for OBC-NCL. For the general category, a 1800 rank would be competitive for Kolkata and Bhopal, but not for Pune or Mohali. For SC/ST, the cutoffs are much lower, so a 1800 rank would be too high for admission.

The recommendation is to participate in all IISER counselling rounds, prioritizing Berhampur, Tirupati, and Thiruvananthapuram if you are OBC-NCL, but to also consider alternative science programs at central, state, or private universities, as admission to most IISERs is unlikely at a 1800 category rank except possibly in extended rounds for certain reserved categories. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
