Kindly advise whether current funds are good or should switch to some other.

Ans: First let me know what is the first choice of your son as far as the branch is concerned. CS/Mech/ECE.

Ans: With a score of 777 in the SC category in the IAT, your chances of getting admission to an IISER are very high, especially for the newer or lower-tier IISERs. You may even be able to secure a seat in a more established IISER like Bhopal or Kolkata in later counseling rounds if vacancies are there.

Ans: With an IAT rank of 984 in the general category, you have a good chance of getting admission to several IISERs. While it's unlikely to get into the very top IISERs in the first few rounds, you should be able to secure a seat at newer IISERs or potentially in some programs at older IISERs in later rounds. Consider exploring IISERs like IISER Bhopal, IISER Tirupati, IISER Berhampur, and IISER Thiruvananthapuram.

Ans: With a rank of 3871 in the IAT 2025, there's a good chance of getting into any IISER, particularly the newer ones like IISER Tirupati or Berhampur, but it depends on your category and the specific IISER you are aiming for.

Ans: With a rank of 28 in the IISER IAT 2025, you have a great chance of getting into IISc Bangalore, especially if you've opted for the four-year BS program. But it's not guaranteed, as the final cutoff depends on various factors including the number of seats available and the performance of other students.

Ans: Yes, you can update your KCET application with your new CBSE marks after re-evaluation. However, whether it impacts your rank depends on the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) rules and when your revised marks are released—especially in relation to the KCET counseling schedule.

Here's what you should do:
1. Check the KEA Website
Go to cetonline.karnataka.gov.in.

Look for any announcements or FAQs about:

Updating marks after re-evaluation.

Impact on KCET 2025 ranks and verification slip changes.

Check if they mention a process for submitting updated marks from other boards like CBSE.

2. Understand the Timeline
KCET Counseling Start Date:
If your updated CBSE marks come before KCET counseling begins, you’ll likely be allowed to update them.

CBSE Re-evaluation Timeline:
Re-evaluation takes time. Check CBSE’s website for expected timelines so you know when to expect your updated marks.

3. If Re-evaluation Results Come Before Counseling
Collect Documents:

Original CBSE mark sheet.

Revised mark sheet (after re-evaluation).

A copy of the re-evaluation confirmation (if available).

Contact KEA:

Use their official helpline or email (from their website).

Ask specifically how to update your marks in their system.

Follow KEA Instructions:

If allowed, KEA will give you exact steps—possibly uploading documents online or via a specific portal.

Rank Might Change:

If your updated marks are submitted in time, KEA may recalculate your rank using the new scores.

4. If Re-evaluation Results Come After Counseling
Spot Admissions or Special Rounds:

If regular counseling is over, you may not be able to change your application immediately.

However, you might be eligible for spot admissions or extra counseling rounds (if seats are still available).

Stay in Touch with KEA:

Contact them and ask whether your revised marks can still be considered in any remaining rounds.

5. General Tips
Don’t Assume Anything:
Always rely on official updates from KEA and CBSE. Don’t act on rumors or hearsay.

Keep All Records:
Save copies of your application, payment receipts, emails, and any mark sheets (old and revised).

Ask for Help if Needed:
If confused, talk to an education counselor or someone experienced with KCET admissions.
