Ans: HI SIR,

Securing a seat in CSE or Mathematics and Computing (MnC) at a mainstream NIT is highly unlikely.
For NIT possibilities: At NIT Jalandhar, you might consider targeting specialized or lower-demand core branches (such as Biotechnology, Textile Technology, or Industrial and Production Engineering) in later rounds or during the CSAB Special Rounds.
In state engineering colleges, you have a strong chance of securing CSE at highly reputable state-funded institutions via state counseling:
- UIET Chandigarh (Panjab University)
- GNDU (Guru Nanak Dev University) Amritsar
- PTU (IK Gujral Punjab Technical University)
For private colleges, consider:
- Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology (TIET), Patiala
- Chitkara University (Rajpura/Chandigarh) with CSE programs, including specializations in AI and Machine Learning
- Lovely Professional University (LPU), Phagwara, which offers CSE specializations.
Based on the above three options, consider the one that best suits your interests for acquiring admission.

All the best!

First of all, the board will provide a specific time frame; they cannot start the practical exam immediately. At least a day or two should be given. If your hometown is near the college, you can proceed accordingly. Since you will be repeating the NEET exam, the NTA has also provided the schedule for the re-NEET exam.

As the youngest in your family, your presence may not be crucial, but there may be times when it is necessary. Therefore, consider going to your hometown to visit your grandpa, provided he is not in the ICU. If he is in the ICU, you will need to make your decision based on that situation.

ALL THE BEST.
