My daughter has scored 93.7 percentile in JEE. She has Chandigarh home state quota and is a female candidate. I want to know that if she gets Aerospace, mechanical, civil in Punjab Engineering College, should we take admission there? She is also getting ECE in Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology through Punjab quota, but the fees are a bit high for us. So, if she gets any lower branch in PEC, should we still consider taking admission there, or is there some better college where we should enroll her instead? Among Mit or Thapar which one is best
Ans: Niti Madam, before I answer your question, I would like to suggest that your daughter choose a branch she is genuinely interested in, rather than selecting one just because it is available to her. Now, to answer your question, at the 93.7 percentile, the approximate CRL may be around 95,000–1,05,000. With Chandigarh's home-state quota, PEC lower branches are realistic: JoSAA 2025 PEC HS closing ranks show Civil up to around 1.06 lakh, Aerospace around 55000, and Mechanical likely tougher than Civil. PEC is a government, low-fee, strong-brand, good alumni and Chandigarh location, so Civil/Mechanical/Aerospace at PEC is worth considering if fees are a major concern. Between MIT Manipal and Thapar, choose Thapar ECE if fees are affordable; choose PEC if ROI, lower cost and government tag matter more. Final preference: Thapar ECE > PEC Mechanical > PEC Aerospace > PEC Civil.

However, for placements, Thapar ECE is academically/industry-wise stronger than PEC Civil/Aerospace, but only if the higher fee is manageable. Thapar’s ECE department has its own placement/recruiter ecosystem. All the Best for Your Daughter's Prosperous Future!

I recently received my CBSE Class 12 results and unfortunately got an RT (Repeat Theory) in two of my core subjects, Maths and Chemistry. Since I had six subjects in total, passing just one compartment exam this year will technically give me a "Pass" status on my report card and thats going to be maths essential for further studies. However, because CBSE only allows us to take one compartment exam right now, I will have to wait until next year to give the Chemistry exam through improvement. My plan is to use this upcoming year to clear that remaining subject while also preparing for JEE and CUET. I wanted to get your advice on how the registration process works for these competitive exams given my situation. Specifically, is it possible for me to register and appear for JEE and CUET next year before my final board marks come out, as long as I have the results in hand before counseling begins? I also wanted to ask how I should state my qualification status on those application forms
Ans: Here is a pointwise reply to your question:
(1) You can appear for JEE Main and CUET next year, even if your final improvement result is pending at the time of registration.
(2) For both exams, select “appearing in Class 12” or “passed/passing year (as applicable)” based on what the form asks at that time. Later, ensure you become a 12th pass with the required subjects (PCM) before JoSAA/CUET counselling/seat allotment.
(3) Important: For JEE/JoSAA eligibility, what matters is Final pass status + Required Subjects + 75% (or top 20 percentile if applicable) at the time of admission, not the status at form filling.
Finally, you are safe to apply, but ensure you clear Maths + Chemistry and meet board eligibility before counselling/document verification.

Good luck.

Sir last year I was not able to get 75% so this year again I gave improvement almost expected to get 80% but bad luck this OSM checking destoryed me and again I got 68% but This year I also gave exam from MP Board as a fresh addmission and there I scored 81% so elegible for jossa and csab but problem is in JEE Mains application form I entered of CBSE school detail(I was expecting more but didnt get) during counselling if will upload the marksheet and tc of MP board any problem can come...??please help me And sir other question is I belong to sc caste but in my school tc its written general and in jee application form i have filled with sc only in counselling any problem can come with this issue also will jossa will blacklist me..?
Ans: Here is a pointwise reply to your query:
(1) You will not be blacklisted, but you must be careful during document verification.
(2) If your MP Board marksheet (81%) is valid and recognized, JoSAA will accept it for eligibility even if CBSE details were entered earlier, provided you upload the correct qualifying exam documents; however, mismatched board details may require a correction or explanation during verification.
(3) For caste: if you claim SC in JoSAA but your TC shows “General”, it is not a problem by itself; what matters is a valid SC caste certificate from a competent authority; the TC is not the deciding
Finally: Your eligibility is safe. Ensure (a) correct 12th marksheet upload and (b) a valid SC certificate; then you will NOT face a blacklisting risk, only a possible query or clarification.

However, please read the brochure very carefully for further clarification and details.

Good luck.
