Hello there,

Congratulations to your son, Devansh, on achieving a 99.0681871 percentile in JEE Main Session 1. This percentile approximately corresponds to an All India Rank (AIR) around 14,800 .

With the Chandigarh home state quota , Devansh has a favorable position for securing a seat in Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at Punjab Engineering College (PEC), Chandigarh . Historically, the closing ranks for CSE under the home state quota have been higher than his estimated rank. For instance, in 2023, the closing rank for CSE was 19,082 .

Given these trends, Devansh stands a strong chance of admission into the CSE program at PEC Chandigarh under the home state quota.

I would recommend you to use JEE Mains College Predictor Tool by Careers360 to get the list of possible colleges you can get with your rank or percentile.

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

Thank you and wishing you all the best for your bright future.

Hello,

Based on previous years' data , securing a seat in the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) branch at Veer Surendra Sai University of Technology (VSSUT) under the EWS category typically requires a JEE Main rank within the following ranges:

• Gender-neutral candidates : up to approximately 52,946
• Female-only candidates : up to approximately 64,066

With a JEE Main rank of 150,000, admission to the CSE branch at VSSUT under the EWS category appears unlikely. However, you may consider other engineering branches at VSSUT with higher cutoff ranks or explore similar institutions where your rank meets the admission criteria.

You can use the JEE main College Predictor tool to predict which college you can get based on your score.

Hope you find it useful !

With a 76.75 percentile in JEE Main (SC category, Karnataka home state), getting CSE or ECE at top NITs (like NIT Surathkal) is difficult since past SC cutoffs for these branches were much lower in rank.

However, your daughter may have a chance in other NITs, GFTIs, or different engineering branches. Consider:

1. JoSAA counseling for available options.

2. State engineering colleges for better chances.

3. Other branches like Civil, Chemical, or Metallurgy with lower cutoffs.

Final admission depends on cutoffs, rank trends, and seat availability.

Hi there!

Your daughter has achieved a decent percentage in her class 12 exam but her performance in JEE Mains is not that good. Sadly, most government colleges consider JEE scores for offering admission to students into various programs. Hence, it might not be possible for her to get admission to such institutes with only 60 percentile.

However, she can still get admission to renowned private institutions like Geeta University . This reputed private university located in Delhi NCR offers new-age B.Tech. programs that focus on preparing the students for a successful career in the ever-evolving IT sector.

The university offers specializations in areas like AIML, Cyber Security, Data Sciences, & FSWD, which are much in demand. It also provides skill certifications and training programs from industry leaders like Microsoft, Cisco, Amazon, and many more.

The best thing is that your daughter's percentage in 10+2 makes her eligible for a decent scholarship on tuition fees. She can even increase the scholarship amount to get 100% off on tuition fees by taking the GUTS exam and performing exceptionally in it.

The university is also known for offering great placement training and support to help students kickstart their careers. It has strong industry tie-ups which enable students to get good internship opportunities across different sectors in well-known organizations.

I hope this information helps you choose the right college for your daughter.

Hello there,

With 80 percentile (female, defense quota priority 6, outside Delhi), chances for NSUT, DTU, and IIITD in core branches are low as cutoffs are 95+ percentile.

Options :

• NSUT/DTU/IIITD: Possible for lower branches under defense quota.
• IGDTUW (for females): Chance for ECE/IT.
• Other Govt Colleges: Consider IIITs (Bhagalpur, Bhopal, etc.), state colleges, or GFTIs.
  
  Required Percentile for Core Branches:

• NSUT/DTU/IIITD (CSE, IT, ECE): 98+ percentile
• IGDTUW (IT, CSE): 95+ percentile
• Lower branches in NSUT/DTU: 90+ with defense quota

Try improving in JEE Mains Session 2 for better chances.

Hello,

Christ University Bangalore is better for industry exposure because it is in the AI hub of India. It has strong placements and an updated curriculum focused on AI and ML applications. However, the fees are higher, and it is more industry-oriented than research-focused.

CUSAT is a government university with lower fees and a strong research focus. It is better if you are interested in deep research and academics. Placements may not be as strong as Christ University, but the course structure is solid.

If you want jobs in AI/ML quickly, choose Christ. If you prefer research, choose CUSAT.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

Yes, shifting from BSc IT to BSc CS and starting over is possible, but it depends on the university or college policies . Here are some key points:

1. Eligibility – Check if you meet the admission criteria for BSc CS, as some colleges may have different subject requirements.
2. University/College Policy – Some institutions allow transfers, while others require fresh admission.
3. Academic Impact – You may need to restart from the first year, leading to extra time and expenses.
4. Admission Process – You might have to apply again through merit or entrance exams.
5. Approval Required – Seek guidance from your college administration.
