Ans: VIT Vellore is a reputed private institution, and its CSE (Bioinformatics) program is a specialized branch combining Computer Science and Biology. VIT has strong placements, especially in CSE-related branches. If you are primarily interested in CSE, a general CSE or CSE with AI/ML might offer wider career options than Bioinformatics.

Ans: Amit Sir, The choice between Maths and IP should primarily depend on your daughter’s interests, aptitude, learning style, and personality traits. Additionally, her long-term career aspirations (MCA or MBA or CA) and the course she plans to pursue after 12th grade—whether BCA, BCom, or BBA—will play a crucial role in this decision.

To make an informed choice, I recommend arranging an online Psychometric Test. This will provide insights into her strengths, cognitive abilities, and career suitability, helping determine whether Mathematics or Informatics Practices (IP) aligns better with her future goals. Hope this guide helps! All the best for your daughter's bright future, Sir.

Ans: Here is, How to Predict Your Chances of Admission into NIT or IIIT or GFTI After JEE Main Results – A Step-by-Step Guide

Once the January JEE Main session results was declared, many students and JEE applicants started asking common questions about eligibility for specific institutes (NITs, IIITs, GFTIs, etc.) based on their percentile, category, preferred branch, and home state.

Providing precise admission chances for each student can be challenging. Some reputed educational websites offer ‘College Predictor’ tools where you can check possible college options based on your percentile, category, and preferences. However, for a more accurate understanding, here’s a simple yet effective 9-step method using JoSAA’s past-year opening and closing ranks. This approach gives you a fair estimate (though not 100% exact) of your admission chances based on the previous year’s data.

Step-by-Step Guide to Check Your Admission Chances Using JoSAA Data
Step 1: Collect Your Key Details
Before starting, note down the following details:

Your JEE Main percentile (Convert your percentile into All India Rank with the help of a formula available in Google).
Your category (General-Open, SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS, PwD categories)
Preferred institute types (NIT, IIIT, GFTI)
Preferred locations (or if you're open to any location in India)
List of at least 3 preferred academic programs (branches) as backups (instead of relying on just one option)
Step 2: Access JoSAA’s Official Opening & Closing Ranks
Go to Google and type: JoSAA Opening & Closing Ranks 2024
Click on the first search result (official JoSAA website).
You will land directly on JoSAA’s portal, where you can enter your details to check past-year cutoffs.
Step 3: Select the Round Number
JoSAA conducts five rounds of counseling.
For a safer estimate, choose Round 4, as most admissions are settled by this round.
Step 4: Choose the Institute Type
Select NIT, IIIT, or GFTI, depending on your preference.
If you are open to all types of institutes, check them one by one instead of selecting all at once.
Step 5: Select the Institute Name (Based on Location)
It is recommended to check institutes one by one, based on your preferred locations.
Avoid selecting ‘ALL’ at once, as it may create confusion.
Step 6: Select Your Preferred Academic Program (Branch)
Enter the branches you are interested in, one at a time, in your preferred order.
Step 7: Submit and Analyze Results
After selecting the relevant details, click the ‘SUBMIT’ button.
The system will display Opening & Closing Ranks of the selected institute and branch for different categories.
Step 8: Note Down the Opening & Closing Ranks
Maintain a notebook or diary to record the Opening & Closing Ranks for each institute and branch you are interested in.
This will serve as a quick reference during JoSAA counseling.
Step 9: Adjust Your Expectations on a Safer Side
Since Opening & Closing Ranks fluctuate slightly each year, always adjust the numbers for safety.
Example Calculation:
If the Opening & Closing Ranks for NIT Delhi | Mechanical Engineering | OPEN Category show 8622 & 26186 (for Home State), consider adjusting them to 8300 & 23000 (on a safer side).
If the Female Category rank is 34334 & 36212, adjust it to 31000 & 33000.
Follow this approach for Other State candidates Option also and different categories.
Pro Tip: Adjust your expected rank slightly lower than the previous year's cutoffs for realistic expectations during JoSAA counseling.

Can This Method Be Used for JEE April & JEE Advanced?
Yes! You can repeat the same steps after your April JEE Main results to refine your admission possibilities.
You can also follow a similar process for JEE Advanced cutoffs when applying for IITs.

Ans: Hello Sri
With the 75 %tile, you can be admitted to any reputed private engineering college. But if you want a preferred branch of your choice, then you have to contact the management of the respective college and try to understand the official process for admission. It is better to focus more on 2nd attempt and state-level engineering test to score more so that at least you can get admission to the Govt Engg College or Pvt College without donation.+

Ans: With 81.15 percentile in JEE Mains, you being an OBC-NCL candidate has a chance to get into some NITs, but it's unlikely to secure a spot in top-ranked NITs or their most sought-after programs. Best of luck. Professor................................:)

Ans: Now a days if the performance is bad from any company any one can be fired. So just go and join, don't think in a negative way. Best of luck. Professor....................:)
