i have 100 shares of EPL ltd @ 164, what should i do?

Ans: Ishita, Base on your JEE Score, NIT/IIIT CSE is unlikely. EEE/Electrical may be possible only in CSAB in lower-demand GFTIs or some northeast/newer institutes, not in strong NITs. Still, you must try. With a VITEEE rank of 19,000, VIT Vellore/Chennai CSE Category 1 is unlikely. Category 1 CSE/EEE is more realistic at VIT-AP or VIT Bhopal; Chennai CSE specialisation may need Category 2/3, and Vellore CSE will likely be a higher category. VIT’s official fee page confirms category-wise slabs. The best order can be VIT-AP/Bhopal CSE Cat-1 → VIT Chennai CSE specialisation if affordable → VIT Vellore ECE/EEE if available → CSAB GFTI/low NIT non-CSE → 2-3 more backups with reputed private colleges in and around your state. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: Prefer NIT Karnataka and IIIT Bangalore. Through BIT-SAT, he may secure admission to Mechanical/Chemical/Civil or MSc programs, while for pure placement outcomes and brand value, BITS Hyderabad is generally the best long-term choice among realistic options.

Good luck.

Ans: With a VITEEE rank of 4,954, your grandson has a strong chance of securing admission to VIT Vellore or Chennai for CSE or CSE specializations, likely within Category 1 or 2, depending on branch demand and counseling movement. With a JEE Main percentile of 89.6 and a CRL of 66,659, admission to NIT or IIIT CSE programs is unlikely, but he should still participate in JoSAA and CSAB counseling for lower-demand branches at NITs, GFTIs, and some newer IIIT non-CSE branches. The recommended preference order is: VIT Vellore CSE/specialization → VIT Chennai CSE/specialization → VIT Vellore IT/ECE → JoSAA/CSAB options → private college backups. All the Best for Your Gradson's Prosperous Future!

Ans: Your son has a good chance of getting Civil and possible chances for Mechanical/Mechanical(EV) in Category 1 at VIT Vellore, but Electrical seems to be challenging.

Good luck.

Ans: The best choice is SRM CSE/Core CSE specialization if available, or choose VIT Chennai/Vellore CSE specialization, because CSE-related branches currently offer the best future scope, placements, and global career flexibility.

Good luck.

Ans: At AEEE rank 8788 with the Coimbatore home-state quota, CSE specialisations at Coimbatore are possible mainly in higher slabs, not safely in Slab 1/2. Amrita’s official CSAP 2026 handbook says allotment depends on AEEE/JEE rank, seat availability, campus–branch–slab preferences, and category/home-state rules. For Coimbatore CSE with AI / AI & DS / cybersecurity, your realistic target should be Slab 3 or Slab 4. Slab 2 is a small chance, and Slab 1 is unlikely at 8788. The best backup order can be Coimbatore ECE/EAC, then Amritapuri/Bengaluru CSE-AI/cybersecurity, then Chennai/Amaravati CSE-related branches. All the Best for Your Prosperous Future!

Ans: Getting CSE in NITs is very difficult except possibly in CSAB special rounds at lower/newer institutes, but she has chances of getting core branches like Chemical, Civil, Mechanical, or Production in some lower NITs, IIITs, and state government engineering colleges.

Good luck.

Ans: Your son should prioritize CSE/CSE specializations (AI, Data Science, Cyber Security) @ VIT Chennai if you are comfortable with high fees.

Good luck.

Ans: Yes, PES University RR CSE/CSE(AIML) is generally considered better than M. S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology and BMS College of Engineering. Prefer CSE Core if you want maximum long-term flexibility; AIML is also excellent and nearly equivalent today.

Good luck.
