Dear student,

If you're passionate about design and have a decent JEE Main rank, the choice between ISDI Mumbai (Product Design) and NIT Rourkela (B.Tech in Industrial Design) comes down to your goals.

ISDI Mumbai is a pure design institute focused on creativity, innovation, and hands-on learning. The program emphasizes real-world projects, portfolio building, and exposure to Mumbai’s design industry. It’s best for those who want a career in creative design , user experience, or product innovation. Admission is based on the ISDI Challenge , not JEE.

NIT Rourkela , on the other hand, offers a design-oriented B.Tech that blends engineering and product design. It’s a good fit if you're looking for a technical degree with a design element . The course includes CAD, UX, manufacturing, and product development. Admission is through JEE Main and JoSAA , with strong placements and a top-tier campus.

Your decision should align with whether you see yourself as a designer first or an engineer with design skills .

Take your time

dear student,

Yes — with 950/1000 in AP Board (95%) and a 92.97 percentile in JEE Mains , you have a very good chance of getting admission into SASTRA University for B.Tech, especially in core branches like ECE, EEE, or Mechanical. For CSE , the competition is tougher but still possible depending on the year’s cut-off.

Hello aspirant,

Yes, you can get into integrated B.Sc (Hons) + M.Sc programs in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, or Data Science through JEE Main, but such courses are available only in a few selected institutions.

One popular example is IIIT Hyderabad, which offers a dual degree program—basically a B.Tech combined with an MS by Research. They have specializations in areas like Computer Science, AI, and even Computational Linguistics. However, they don’t take students directly through the regular JEE Main counselling. Instead, they have their own UGEE/SAT admission channel, which includes a separate exam and an interview round. So, you’ll need to apply through their portal specifically.

IIIT Delhi is another option. They offer B.Tech programs in CSE, AI, and CS+Design through JEE Main under JAC Delhi counselling. While it's not an officially integrated course, the institute does give students the chance to continue into M.Tech later if they meet certain criteria.

You could also consider IISERs like IISER Bhopal, which offer a 5-year BS-MS program. These are mostly focused on science and research, but many of them do include data science or computational modules, especially in the later years. Admissions are mostly through JEE Advanced, though some IISERs have considered JEE Main in the past.

Another unique option is IIT Madras’s online degree in Programming and Data Science. You can enter this course through JEE marks or via their own qualifier exam. It’s a flexible, online program that allows you to pursue a B.Sc and then go on to an M.Sc—all from home and at your own pace.

So, while integrated CS/AI/DS courses through JEE Main aren’t common everywhere, you definitely have a few good choices. Just keep an eye on the official websites of these institutions, as their admission processes tend to change slightly from year to year.

Hope this clears up your doubt.

Hello,

No, you cannot get admission to an Integrated B.Sc. (Hons) + M.Sc. in CS/AI/DS course through JEE Main in most colleges.

JEE Main is mainly for B.E./B.Tech courses in engineering colleges like NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs . For integrated B.Sc. + M.Sc. courses, colleges conduct their own entrance exams or take admission based on Class 12 marks .

Some central universities or institutes like IISER , ISI , or CUET-based universities may offer such courses, but JEE Main is not accepted there for this type of programme.

So, check the specific college’s website to know the admission process.

Hope it helps !

Dear Sourabh,

Institutes accepting JEE Main for Integrated CS/AI/DS Programs

1. IIIT- Hyderabad

2. IIIT- Delhi

3. Central Universities (like CUJ, CUH, etc.)

4. Private Universities like Ashoka University, Shiv Nadar University etc.

Hope you get it!

Dear Candidate ,
Yes , you are eligible and have a reasonable chance of getting a seat through HPCET counseling, especially in colleges and branches where the cutoff is lower for ST candidates.
Based  on previous years trends and the current 2025 data , ST category candidates with similar or even lower scores have secured admission in government and affiliated private colleges in Himachal Pradesh , such as JNGEC and other HPTU- affiliated institutes. Final allotment will depend on the 2025 cutoffs , your preferences , and seat availability.

Hello aspirant!

Yes, with a 70% score in boards, you are eligible for NIT admission because the minimum requirement is 75% for General and EWS, and only 65% for SC/ST/OBC. So you're good on that front.

Now, with a JEE Mains score of 200+, your percentile is likely above 99, and your OBC-NCL rank could be under 10,000, which is excellent. With this kind of rank, you have very good chances of getting into top NITs.

Depending on your exact rank and home state, you might get:

• Core branches like CSE, ECE, Mechanical in mid-level NITs (like NIT Durgapur, NIT Patna, NIT Raipur)

• Even CSE or top branches in some NITs but only if your rank is in the top 5,000 in OBC

• In top NITs like Trichy, Surathkal, or Warangal, you might still get branches like Civil, Chemical, or Metallurgy

Make sure to fill your JoSAA choices smartly from top to bottom, and don't skip the CSAB special rounds.

You’re in a strong position, so aim high and stay confident. Best of luck! I wish you all the best!
