Hello sir My son gets 35210 rank in mains, resident of Maharashtra, looking for CSE/ECS/EE What are possibilities Please guide on IIITs like Surat, vadodara, nagpur and Bhopal

Ans: At CRL 35,210, General male, Maharashtra, CSE in top NITs is difficult, but strong chances exist for CSE/ECE in several IIITs and ECE/EE in some NITs/GFTIs. JoSAA confirms Open-seat cut-offs are based on CRL rank.

For your target IIITs:
IIIT Surat – CSE is borderline/tough, but ECE is realistic. In 2025, IIIT Surat ECE closed around 31k–33k+, while CSE was around 24k–26k in regular rounds.
IIIT Vadodara / IIIT-Vadodara International Campus Diu – better chances for CSE/ECE, especially Diu campus.
IIIT Nagpur – ECE/EE-related branches possible; CSE tougher.
IIIT Bhopal – CSE tough but ECE/IT-related options possible.

Also try VNIT Nagpur (EE/Mechanical), MANIT Bhopal, SVNIT Surat, NIT Raipur, NIT Jalandhar for ECE/EE/lower CSE-allied branches. Backup: CSAB, MHT-CET CAP counselling, COEP/VJTI/SPIT/PICT, and good private colleges. Prioritise branch interest over only institute tag.

My son jee mains 30000 rank General category me kya koi NIIT or IIIT CSE or ECE , Milsakta hai ? Kindly Advise

Ans: You have not mentioned your son's home state. Given his rank, securing a CSE seat in NITs may be challenging, but admission to ECE in some NITs and CSE/IT/ECE in several IIITs is more realistic, especially during the later JoSAA and CSAB rounds. Consider applying to IIIT Una, IIIT Kottayam, IIIT Dharwad, IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Raichur, IIIT Manipur, and IIIT Agartala. For ECE, newer and mid-tier NITs and IIITs are good options. The CSAB special rounds are crucial as they fill vacant seats after JoSAA. It is also important for your son to have backup options through GFTIs, state counseling, and reputable private CSE colleges. ALL the BEST for Your Son's Prosperous Future!

My daughter got jee mains 89.28 percentile /ews.in which colleges she will get admission

Ans: You have not mentioned your daughter's home state. Anyway, please note, with an 89.28 percentile as an EWS female candidate, the chances of securing a CSE seat in top NITs or IIITs are low. However, she may have opportunities in lower-ranked branches at newer NITs, some IIITs, and GFTIs, with better prospects during the CSAB special rounds. You can consider applying to IIIT Kurnool, IIIT Manipur, IIIT Dharwad, IIIT Raichur, IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Kalyani, and various GFTIs. While CSE and ECE seats may be challenging to obtain, other branches might become available in later rounds or through CSAB. It is advisable to also explore backup options through state counseling and reputable private universities. ALL the BEST for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!

Dear sir, Im based at chandigarh.My daughter got rank 99510 general in jee 2026,chandigarh home state. Is there any chance of getting admission in chandigarh or near Chandigarh, Mumbai, hyderabad.cs,ece for Btech

Ans: You can try PEC Chandigarh through JAC Chandigarh separately, not JoSAA. Through JoSAA/CSAB, fill IIIT Una, IIIT Sonepat, IIIT Kalyani, IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Manipur, IIIT Raichur, IIIT Dharwad, but CSE/ECE may mostly depend on CSAB vacancy movement. You must have backup options of JAC Chandigarh, HSTES Haryana, Punjab colleges, IPU Delhi, Private Universities, and State counselling.
