Hello Mr. Bini,

Considering your son's rank in JEE Main (3715 in General category, Maharashtra), here below is the categorization that might help you narrow down the options:

CSE in NIT Calicut (or Other NITs):

• CSE is a very popular branch with lots of placement opportunities if your son is looking at top NITs like Trichy, Warangal, Surathkal, and Calicut he won't go wrong with CSE.
• If your son likes coding, software and tech then CSE in NIT is a great option.
• The NITs that maintain a good CSE department and good placement are: Trichy, Warangal and Surathkal.

ECE in IIIT Hyderabad:

• IIIT-Hyderabad is a good institute with excellent academic and research environment particularly for ECE and other related interdisciplinary streams, particularly in the area of AI/ML, VLSI.
• The placement of IIIT-Hyderabad is excellent because other than IITs, IIIT-H students have the best placement options, particularly for research oriented/product based roles.
• If your son likes a research driven curriculum and he may think of higher studies or work in tech heavy roles, IIIT-H ECE is arguably the best choice of all options.

ECE in NIT Warangal/Surathkal/Trichy/Rourkela:

• These are very good NITs with good ECE department and strong industry partnerships.
• The placement is good, but is not as strong compared to CSE branches or IIIT-Hyderabad ECE.

If the emphasis is on core tech roles and software engineering, get him a place in CSE at a top NIT (ideally Trichy, Warangal, or Surathkal). If there is a willingness to accept a comprehensive, research-based academic program, with future scope in core tech, AI or higher studies, then ECE at IIIT Hyderabad could be the best long term option. Do not opt for lower-tier NITs if you can get him into one of these higher tier institutes.

Both NIT Trichy and IIIT Bangalore are excellent, but they have different strengths. NIT Trichy is one of India’s top NITs with a strong reputation, great campus life, and good placements for ECE. IIIT Bangalore is newer but highly focused on IT and electronics, with a great location (Bangalore) and strong industry connections. If your son prefers a structured B.Tech with a full college experience, choose NIT Trichy. If he wants tech exposure and industry-driven learning, IIIT Bangalore is great.

With a JEE Main percentile of 84.99 and belonging to the OBC-NCL category , your approximate All India Rank (AIR) would be around 76,491 .
Securing a seat in any of these branches at IIIT Nagpur would be highly unlikely .

• Consider applying to other IIITs .
• Look into private engineering colleges that accept JEE Main scores.
• Some state engineering colleges might have different admission criteria or lower closing ranks.

Hello Aspirant,

With an 89 percentile and category rank 1591 in ST , here’s what you can generally expect for IIIT admissions:

• IIITs usually have higher cutoffs for general category, but for ST category , cutoffs are relaxed.
  
  

• With your percentile and ST rank, you can expect admission in some newer or less competitive IIITs .
  
  

• You may get branches like Computer Science, Electronics, or other engineering streams depending on seat availability.
  
  Possible IIITs you may get:

• IIIT Hyderabad and IIIT Delhi are highly competitive, so admission there may be unlikely.
  
  

• IIITs like IIIT Kottayam, IIIT Ranchi, IIIT Pune, IIIT Lucknow, IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Nagpur, IIIT Kota, IIIT Vadodara have cutoffs that fit your rank better.
  
  

• You might get a good branch in these colleges, but core CSE branch may be tougher to get.

• Participate in counseling with proper preference order.

• Keep backup options ready.

With a JEE Main EWS rank of 15,500, getting CSE in top NITs or IIITs is unlikely.

You might get CSE in some lower-ranked NITs or newer IIITs, but chances are low.

Better to consider other branches like IT or ECE.

Attend all JoSAA counselling rounds and explore state quota options.

• SC Category Rank: 65,896 (Too high for NITs or IIITs)

• Chances in NIT/IIIT: Very low (cutoffs for SC usually close by 30,000–35,000)

• 12th % (92%) is good , but JEE rank is too high.

• Try state-level counselling (based on 12th marks or JEE Main).

• Private colleges (like VIT, SRM, Amrita) are good options.

• You can reappear in JEE Main 2025 Session 2 to improve score.

The MCA from IIIT Ranchi in collaboration with IIT Patna generally holds stronger reputation and better placement opportunities due to its association with IIT. VIT’s online degree offers flexibility but is less recognized globally and may have limited placement reach.
