Ans: Hi,
The NTA has not yet declared the results and rankings. Until they do, predicting admission availability will not be very precise. Based on your predictions the chances are very slim. As you know, many factors are involved. So, please wait for updates from the NTA.

Ans: Vinod Sir, With a JEE Advanced score of 165 marks (approximate/expected CRL rank 1,600–2,000)(today JEE-A Result has been declared), admission to Tier 1 IITs (Bombay/Delhi/Madras) for core branches like CSE/ECE is unlikely, as their 2024 closing ranks for General category ranged from 67 (CSE-IIT Bombay) to 550 (Mechanical-IIT Bombay). However, less competitive branches like Metallurgical Engineering at IIT Roorkee (2024 cutoff: ~4,000 CRL) or Civil Engineering at IIT Kanpur (~3,500 CRL) may be feasible. For IISc Bangalore’s B.Sc (Research), the 2024 JEE Advanced cutoff was CRL 903, making admission improbable, but his IISER score of 202/240 (expected rank

Ans: With a JEE Main rank of 183,423 (87.54 percentile), admission to CSE/ECE in top NITs is unattainable, but Mechanical, Civil, or Production Engineering in newer NITs like NIT Agartala (Mechanical cutoff: ~180,051), NIT Sikkim (Civil cutoff: ~94,766), or NIT Meghalaya (Mechanical cutoff: ~80,200) are feasible options based on historical cutoffs. State government colleges such as Punjab Engineering College or Assam University also admit students via JEE Main scores for core branches, though institutional reputation and placements may vary. Prioritize Mechanical Engineering at NIT Agartala or NIT Sikkim during JoSAA counseling, and explore state-level engineering colleges through regional quotas if available, ensuring alignment with long-term career goals and geographic preferences. All the BEST for your Son's Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Hi Dr.,

Hats off to you! Your achievements are wonderful, and once again, congratulations from all of us at Rediffguru.

You are entering a great field, but it's essential to have a strong foundation in the basics of anatomy and physiology. Often, we study at a surface level instead of delving deep. Once you grasp the fundamentals, the rest will become much easier.

For example, many of us tend to overlook biochemistry, yet it is vital in the field of medicine. Similarly, in physiology, we may study many concepts, but when posed with simple questions, we sometimes struggle to find the correct answers. For instance, what is the shape of the stomach, and why is it that way?

During the COVID pandemic, we utilized pulse oximeters, but many people criticized their operation. This illustrates how important it is to understand the underlying principles.

As you pursue your postgraduate studies, choose a specialization that closely aligns with your goals, and aim to complete your doctorate not merely for the sake of obtaining a degree, but to genuinely advance your objectives. To do this effectively, find a knowledgeable mentor who can guide you.

Explore journals and look for articles related to biophysics. There are many biophysicists in our country who are eager for dedicated researchers, not just those seeking degrees. The medical field is increasingly focused on medical devices, making biophysics all the more important.

Wishing you all the best on your journey!

Ans: Karan Sir, NIT Jalandhar offers 86.31% placement rates (2024) for BTech with strong industry ties (Microsoft, Amazon, Deloitte) and a NIRF #58 engineering ranking, ensuring diverse opportunities across sectors. Its CS program, while competitive (cutoff ~6,325–10,951 General), provides a traditional engineering curriculum with interdisciplinary exposure. IIIT Jabalpur specializes in IT/design education, reporting 65% of placed students securing ?10+ LPA packages (2024) and a higher UG average package (?19.27 LPA), albeit with a lower NIRF ranking (#101–150). IIIT’s CS curriculum emphasizes emerging tech, reflected in its ?110 LPA highest domestic package and niche recruiters like Mercari Japan. Prioritize IIIT Jabalpur for focused CS training and tech-centric placements, while NIT Jalandhar suits those valuing institutional reputation and broader engineering exposure. All the BEST for your Son's Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Suraj, With an 85 percentile in JEE Main (CRL 219,000, OBC-NCL 75,000), your options include Mechanical/Civil Engineering at NIT Mizoram (2024 OBC cutoff: ~48,542) and NIT Agartala (OBC cutoff: ~53,769), though CSE remains unlikely. State-level options via MP PET include RGPV-affiliated colleges like SGSITS Indore (Civil/Mechanical) and LNCT Bhopal (ECE). Private universities such as LNCT Indore (CSE/IT via 12th marks) and SAGE University Bhopal (CSE with direct admission) are feasible, with SRMJEEE Phase 2/3 (June 12–July 5) offering another pathway for CSE in mid-tier institutes like SRM Chennai or VIT Bhopal. Post-May 31 exams include BITSAT Session 2 (June 22–26) for non-CSE branches and UPESEAT (May 31–June 1) for niche engineering fields. Prioritize NITs/state colleges for core branches and leverage OBC-NCL quotas, while exploring SRMJEEE/UPESEAT for broader opportunities. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
