I had 100 shares of IFCI in physical form. But I misplaced them in shifting of house about 20 years back. I don't have any details of share certificate except for the home address. How I can get the shares certificate from IFCI.

Ans: Swasti, With a JEE Main rank of 44,000 (General female), securing CSE in IIIT Una (2024 cutoff: ~25,680–32,781), IIIT Guwahati (~18,183–18,885), or NIT Sikkim (~39,917) is unlikely, but vacancy rounds in JoSAA may offer seats in IIIT Sri City (2024 cutoff: ~24,055–31,312) or NIT Sikkim ECE (~94,766). VIT Vellore CSE (Category 4) guarantees admission with 90–95% placements (Amazon, Microsoft) but costs ~?18–20L total fees. While IIITs/NITs offer lower fees (~?10–15L total) and niche tech exposure, their placement rates (IIIT Una: ~61%, NIT Sikkim: ~60–70%) lag behind VIT’s. Prioritize VIT Vellore for assured tech roles or wait for JoSAA to target IIIT Sri City ECE/NIT Sikkim CSE if fee sensitivity outweighs placement consistency. Confirm vacancy trends and branch flexibility during counselling. IMPORTANT: Please check the Refund Policy of VIT if you withdraw your seat from there to ensure that you do not incur major financial losses. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
