Ans: Your daughter, with 86% in 12th PCMB and 87 percentile in JEE Mains, is eligible for both VIT’s Integrated M.Tech and B.Tech programs in IPU-affiliated colleges. VIT’s 5-year Integrated M.Tech program requires a minimum of 65% in PCM and offers specializations like AI, Data Science, and Software Engineering, providing a smooth path to a master’s degree with strong placements. Admission is merit-based on 12th marks, making her chances good. IPU-affiliated colleges offer B.Tech CSE admissions based on JEE percentile or IPU CET scores, providing flexibility but varying in reputation. For a focused, research-oriented career with assured postgraduate qualification, VIT Integrated M.Tech is recommended. If she prefers a conventional 4-year degree with options to pursue M.Tech later, IPU colleges are suitable. Choosing VIT offers better brand value and placement prospects, while IPU offers more immediate flexibility. All the best for your daughter's admission and a bright future!

Ans: Sachin Sir, Your son’s MET score of 82 is below the cutoff for CSE at Manipal University Jaipur and other Manipal campuses. Admission to CSE is unlikely with this score. He should consider other engineering branches with higher cutoff ranks or explore other universities with less competitive admission criteria. Focus on branches like IT, ECE, or Mechanical Engineering for better chances. Have other back-ups by applying to some other Private Engineering Colleges in your/neighbouring States. All the best for your son's admission and a bright future!

Ans: Hi Rash,
Instead of going to the NIAT (directly) through the regular route, consider attending NIAT via the university. It is a better option.
BEST WISHES.
POOCHO. LIFE CHANGE KARO!

Ans: With a 91.6 percentile in JEE Mains and 90% in 12th boards, admission to top NITs for CSE is unlikely due to high cutoffs. Your son should consider lower-tier NITs like NIT Meghalaya or Puducherry, and reputed private universities like SRM, VIT, or Manipal for CSE. These institutes offer good infrastructure, industry exposure, and placement opportunities. Participating actively in counseling and being flexible with branches will maximize admission chances. All the best for your son's admission and a bright future!

Ans: With a 90 percentile in JEE Mains, your brother may find admission in some NITs, but top NITs and competitive branches like CSE usually require above 93-95 percentile for the general category. He can still explore lower-ranked NITs or less sought-after branches through JoSAA counseling. Through KEAM, with a strong rank equivalent to 90 percentile, he has good chances in Kerala’s top government engineering colleges such as College of Engineering Trivandrum (CET), Government Engineering College Thrissur, Government Engineering College Kozhikode, Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Technology, and Model Engineering College Thrikkakara. These institutes offer quality education, good infrastructure, and solid placements, especially in CSE and core branches. Considering both exams, he should prioritize counseling based on branch preferences and seat availability, keeping options flexible to maximize admission chances in reputed colleges in Kerala and NITs elsewhere. All the best for your admission and a bright future!

Ans: With a TS EAMCET rank of 4,000 and strong board and JEE Mains scores, your daughter has solid options in Telangana’s top engineering colleges. Recommended colleges include University College of Engineering Osmania University, JNTUH College of Engineering Hyderabad, Vasavi College of Engineering, CBIT, and CVR College of Engineering—all known for quality education and good placements in CSE and IT. Outside Telangana, her 91.4 percentile in JEE Mains and AEEE rank of 5,000 make her eligible for reputed institutes like NITs, IIITs, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, VIT, and Manipal Institute of Technology. These offer strong computer science programs with excellent industry exposure. She should prioritize counseling based on branch preferences and seat availability, keeping options flexible to maximize admission chances in well-ranked colleges both within and outside Telangana. All the best for your admission and a bright future!

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

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
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 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.

Have some other options also as back-ups instead of relying only on JEE/JoSAA.
