Hi, my CRL in jee mains 2025 is 74351 and gen ews rank is 10547. I am a girl, i got alloted cse+ specialization in AI and data science in IIIT Manipur in josaa. I am from UP. What better college with branches like cse, ece, electrical or something other branches i can get in csab in up?
Ans: Pragya, With a Home-State EWS rank of 10 547 and CRL of 74 351, core-branch seats at UP NITs and IIITs via CSAB-Special are attainable in select disciplines. Motilal Nehru NIT Allahabad’s CSE HS-EWS closed at 8 141, so CSE falls just outside your bracket, but ECE’s HS-EWS cutoff of 13 170 and Electrical’s 15 745 make both solid targets (≥70% placement consistency, AICTE/NIRF accreditation, modern labs, faculty–industry MoUs, internship pipelines). IIIT Allahabad admits EWS AI-quota IT up to rank ~12 065 and B.Tech CSE-AI up to ~12 091, offering strong placement cells, NBA-accredited curriculum, specialized AI/DS labs and established industry partnerships. In round 1, IIIT Lucknow’s EWS cutoffs for CSE-AI were around 17,789, while the ~11,636 cutoff in JoSAA indicates similar trends in CSAB. These institutes combine rigorous academics, outcome-based syllabi, a robust research culture, student support for internships, and ≥75% average placements over three years.

Recommendation: IIIT Allahabad’s IT or CSE-AI branch stands out for its accessible EWS AI-quota ranks, advanced AI/DS labs and consistent industry tie-ups; MNNIT Allahabad’s ECE or Electrical Engineering under HS-EWS offers a UP-state edge, solid research and placement records; IIIT Lucknow’s CSE-AI remains a realistic All-India backup with strong curriculum and campus engagement. Consider IIIT Manipur only if these alignments remain unattainable. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

Is east point college of engineering good for cse ???
Ans: Vicky, East Point College of Engineering and Technology (EPCET), established in 1999 and affiliated to Visvesvaraya Technological University, AICTE approval, NAAC “A” grade accreditation and NBA accreditation for its CSE program, ensuring recognized academic standards and continuous quality improvement. The Department of Computer Science & Engineering features specialized labs—including AI/ML, Cybersecurity, IoT & Blockchain, Data Structures, Networks, Embedded Systems and Project labs—providing hands-on experience on industry-standard hardware and PARAM supercomputers. The curriculum spans core subjects (algorithms, databases, networks), advanced modules (machine learning, cloud computing, blockchain) and mandatory internships, fostering critical thinking and practical skills. A dedicated placement cell records a 97% placement rate over the past three years, with top recruiters such as Amazon, Oracle, Bosch, IBM and Accenture visiting campus and average packages around ?7.5 LPA and peak offers up to ?25 LPA, demonstrating strong industry connect and student employability. Faculty participation in national/international seminars and collaborations with AWS, VMware, UiPath, Cisco and Texas Instruments reinforce research orientation and industry engagement. Student feedback notes highly organized campus drives but suggests more proactive semester-long career mentoring; this can be addressed by regular industry-aligned workshops and stronger alumni-student mentorship networks. Resource constraints during peak placement periods can be mitigated by staggered recruitment schedules and enhanced soft-skills training integrated into the curriculum.

Recommendation
EPCET’s CSE program excels in accreditation, modern labs, research-active faculty and robust placement support, making it a reliable choice. Strengthening continuous placement mentoring and structured industry-interaction forums will elevate student readiness. Prospective students seeking a blend of rigorous academics and commendable campus recruitment should consider EPCET for CSE, while engaging actively in workshops and alumni networks to maximize opportunities. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

am 16 yr old . I have little misaligned teeth in the lower jaw teeth ( only one teeth crossed it's orientation another teeth is behind front teeth ) ? Is braces necessary? Which age is best for putting them? is it ok to put later ?
Ans: Hello

Braces might be a good option for you, considering your age and the misalignment issues you're experiencing.

*Necessity of Braces:* Braces could help correct and prevent potential problems like uneven wear, tooth decay or gum disease.
You can choose orthodontic treatment for aesthetic/cosmetic correction

*Best Age for Braces:*
The teenage years are actually an ideal time for orthodontic treatment. During this period, your jaw and teeth are still developing, making it easier to correct alignment issues. Most orthodontists recommend an initial consultation around age 7, but comprehensive treatment usually starts when most permanent teeth have emerged, around 11-15 years old.

*Getting Braces Later:*
It's totally okay to get braces later in life. Many adults choose to straighten their teeth for aesthetic and health reasons. While treatment might take a bit longer for adults, the results are just as effective.
Firstly, you need to ascertain if the misalignment is causing, or is likely to cause in future, any functional problem like biting your lips or cheek, difficulty in mastication, difficulty in speaking, or food lodgement.
You could, of course, choose treatment purely for aesthetic reasons.
The next step would be to consult with an orthodontist who can assess your teeth and provide personalized advice. They'll help you determine the best course of treatment and create a plan suited to your needs
