. Understanding Your Profile First

• You have a 97.4 percentile in JEE Main 2025 — a really excellent score da!

• Your EWS rank is 5656 , which is strong enough for many good private universities.

• You are from Madhya Pradesh but aiming for admission into PES University , Bangalore (both RR campus and EC campus).

• PES accepts JEE Main scores mainly for some quota (Management quota, PESSAT + JEE quota).

2. How PES Admission Process Works Through JEE Main

• PES University primarily conducts its own exam called PESSAT , but it also accepts JEE Main ranks .

• In JEE Main quota, percentile and EWS rank both are considered for shortlisting.

• Admissions via JEE score are subject to seat availability after PESSAT counselling.

3. Can You Get CSE, CS (Specialisations), or ECE?

• CSE (Computer Science Engineering):

  • Very highly demanded at PES.

  • Usually closes around 95-98 percentile .

  • With 97.4 percentile and 5656 EWS rank , you have a fair chance for CSE, especially if you apply early .

• CS Specialisations (like AI, Data Science, Cybersecurity):

  • Slightly easier than pure CSE.

  • Many CS specialisations close around 94–96 percentile , so your chance is even higher here .

• ECE (Electronics and Communication Engineering):

  • Seats generally remain available up to 90-94 percentile .

  • Definitely you will get ECE with your percentile without much difficulty.

4. Important Points You Must Remember

• Apply Early : PES fills JEE quota seats quickly; so apply as soon as counselling opens .

• Preference Order : Always select CSE → CS (Specialisations) → ECE while applying.

• Cutoff Changes Every Year : Cutoffs slightly vary based on competition, number of seats, etc.

• If not in RR campus , you can also check Electronic City (EC) Campus which has excellent branches too.

Hello there,

If your son freezes the Bharti Vidyapeeth seat in the third round and pays the fee , it locks the seat and essentially means that he accepts the offer from that college.

Here’s what you need to know:

1. JOSAA Freeze Option : Once you choose to "freeze" a seat and pay the fee, you are not eligible for further rounds of counseling, including spot rounds . This is because freezing signifies that you are satisfied with the allocated seat, and you're accepting it, preventing participation in further rounds.
   
   

2. Options After Freezing : If your son is serious about MSIT CS and doesn't want to risk losing that opportunity, it’s better not to freeze the seat at Bharti Vidyapeeth. Instead, you can opt for:

   • Float or Slide options, which would allow you to retain the Bharti Vidyapeeth seat and try for MSIT in subsequent rounds.
     
     

   • Spot round participation : If you freeze, you cannot participate in spot rounds. So, do not freeze the seat unless you're absolutely sure you want to take it and give up on MSIT.
     
     Suggestion:

To ensure eligibility for MSIT and also keep Bharti Vidyapeeth as a backup, I would recommend not freezing the seat in the third round. Opt for the float option if possible and keep exploring through the next rounds, including the spot rounds . This will allow your son to try for MSIT while securing a seat at Bharti Vidyapeeth as a backup.

If you do freeze and pay the fee, you will lose eligibility for the spot rounds, so weigh the options carefully.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.

With a GATE CS score of 335 (OBC) :

• Unlikely to get Osmania University M.Tech in CS, IT, or Cyber Security via GATE (cutoffs are much higher, around 750).

• You can try through TS PGECET (Osmania accepts PGECET scores too).

• Consider other state universities or private colleges with lower GATE cutoffs.

• Prepare for TS PGECET for better chances in Cyber Security or IT at Osmania.

With a JEE Main rank of 2,48,181 in the General category, it’s tough to get top colleges for B.Tech/B.E in CS or AI. But don’t worry—you can still get admission in private colleges or through state counseling like in UP, MP, or Rajasthan, where cutoffs are slightly lower. Since you may qualify for EWS, you should definitely use that in JoSAA or state counseling. Try colleges like NIET, GL Bajaj, LPU, or Amity for CS or AI branches.

The cut-off rank for B.Tech Computer Science (CSE) in India varies greatly depending on the institute, the category of the candidate, and the year. Generally, for top IITs, a rank below 500 in the General category is considered competitive. For NITs, the cut-off can range from 1,000 to 10,000 or higher, depending on the specific NIT and the category. Private and other engineering colleges have a wider range of cut-off ranks.

With a 99.66 percentile in JEE Main, your son's CRL rank will likely be around 30,000 .

Hello,

With a 75 percentile in JEE Main, it is unlikely that you will get admission to a computer science (CS) program in a Delhi college under the general category.

The cutoff for CS in most top colleges, like DTU, NSIT, and IIIT Delhi, is usually much higher than 75 percentile. You might need a higher percentile to secure a seat in CS.

Hope it helps !

With a GATE 2025 CS score of 406 and AIR ~14,000 , securing M.Tech in Cybersecurity at IITs is unlikely, as they typically require scores above 750. For PSU recruitment , most companies have cutoffs ranging from 750 to 850 , making opportunities limited.

Alternative Options

• NIT Patna : In 2024, the ST category cutoff for M.Tech Cybersecurity was 277 . With your score, you might have a chance, especially in later rounds.

• Private Universities : Institutions like UPES Dehradun and Shiv Nadar University offer M.Tech in Cybersecurity with more flexible admission criteria.

• Certifications : Enhance your profile with certifications such as CEH or CISSP to improve employability.

With a CRL rank of 15,526 and EWS rank of 2,036 in JEE Mains 2025, getting Computer Science (CS) or Electronics & Communication (EC) in top 10 NITs will be tough. CS is highly competitive, especially in top NITs. However, you may have a slight chance in EC at some of the lower-ranked top 10 NITs in the later rounds. You can also look for CS/EC in newer NITs or go for branches like IT or Data Science. Use a college predictor to check chances.
