Both NIT Jalandhar and IIIT Gwalior are great institutions, but their programs and approach differ. Here's a comparison:

• NIT Jalandhar CSE offers a 4-year B.Tech in Computer Science it's known for strong coding culture and placement records with flexibility to pursue M.Tech or job after B.Tech and high average package for CSE .

• On the other hand IIIT Gwalior Integrated B.Tech + M.Tech in IT a  5-year integrated course , saves 1 year if you were planning for M.Tech anyway ,has a strong research and technical base with excellent for students looking into R&D or higher studies.

Choose IIIT Gwalior if you're sure about a long academic path and want deep technical knowledge. Go for NIT Jalandhar if you prefer a more flexible 4-year course with early job opportunities.

Hope this helps you decide!

Hello,

For admission to IITs, NITs, and IIITs under the OBC-NCL category, your OBC-NCL certificate must be issued by the state where your domicile is . Since your domicile is Maharashtra, your OBC-NCL certificate should also be issued by Maharashtra authorities, even if your caste is in the central OBC list.

So, a Uttar Pradesh-issued OBC-NCL certificate may not be accepted for reservation in IITs, NITs, IIITs if your domicile is Maharashtra.

What you should do:
Apply for a fresh OBC-NCL certificate in Maharashtra. Make sure it is based on your caste being in the central OBC list.

This will help you avoid any issues during counselling and admission.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

Bengaluru is home to many top-ranked colleges and universities, especially for engineering, management, and science. Some of the highest-ranking colleges include:

• Indian Institute of Science (IISc)  ranked among the top in India and globally for science & research.
• RV College of Engineering (RVCE) it is  one of the top private engineering colleges in Karnataka.

• BMS College of Engineering, MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology, and Christ University also rank high in different streams.

College ranks depend on factors like placements, faculty, infrastructure, and student reviews. You can check official rankings like NIRF or India Today rankings for updated information.

Thank you!

Through JoSAA after 6 rounds you will need to register for the CSAB counselling, with the rank of 42911 it is difficult to get any top tier nit or iiit like surathkal etc, but you have chances for newer, lower to middle level nit's and iit's in courses like civil, mechanical, etc.

If you are from General-EWS category and your family income is less than Rs 1 lakh per year, then you are eligible for full tuition fee waiver at IIIT Nagpur under the Government of India rules.

This means you will not have to pay the tuition fee. But you will still need to pay other fees like hostel fee, mess charges, development fee, library fee and other service charges.

To get the fee waiver, you need to submit your income certificate showing that your annual family income is below Rs 1 lakh. You also need to give an affidavit or undertaking in the format given by the government.

After taking admission, you should also apply for government scholarships through the National Scholarship Portal or your state scholarship website. These may help you with hostel or other fees also.

Hello Aspirant,

EEE (Electrical and Electronics Engineering) and ECE (Electronics and Communication Engineering) have many similarities - many of the core electronics areas such as: digital systems, circuits, and microprocessors are courses that are similar across both programs. However, EEE has a bit of a tendency to be more focused on electrical systems and power engineering, and ECE is focused more on communication systems, signal processing and VLSI design.

In the case with IIIT Gwalior, EEE has a very strong electronics and computing focus and makes the program quite similar to an ECE program.  So if you are a bit more interested in ECE related areas but have a good opportunity with EEE at a better school like IIIT Gwalior, I think its a good choice. You'll still get a chance to work in electronics and computing areas and can shape your career in ways that are related to ECE such as: embedded systems; VLSI; or communications.

Based on your CRL of 130000 and OBC rank of 46000, you have a moderate chance of getting branches like Mechanical (ME) or Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) in lower NITs or newly established IIITs through the CSAB special rounds.

Your chances are better in NITs such as NIT Mizoram, NIT Nagaland, NIT Sikkim, and NIT Arunachal Pradesh. Some IIITs like IIIT Bhagalpur, IIIT Agartala, and IIIT Manipur may also accept candidates at your rank, especially for non-CS branches.

Admission in core NITs is unlikely, but if you keep your options open and fill in as many choices as possible during CSAB, there is a possibility.

Hello

The sixth round, or Round 6, of JoSAA counselling 2025 is not limited to IITs only. It covers seat allotment and upgradation across all participating institutes, including IITs, NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs.

Key Points

Round 6 is the final round for IITs. After this, no further allotment or upgradation is possible in IITs.

Round 6 also includes NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs. This round remains active for the NIT plus system, and students can still receive upgraded seats in these institutes, even if they have already accepted a seat in Round 5.

For IIT seats, Round 6 marks the end of the JoSAA counselling process. There are no additional rounds and no CSAB special rounds for IITs.

For the NIT plus system, which includes NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs, any remaining vacant seats after Round 6 will be filled through CSAB special rounds. Students who have not yet secured a seat should register for CSAB in order to remain in contention.

Hello Aspirant,

No, it is not limited to IITs. Round 6 is the final round for seat allotment across the whole JoSAA ecosystem which includes IITs, NITs, IIITs, and Other-GFTIs.

For IITs, it is the final round - those taking a seat in this round get no further opportunity to make changes. For the NIT+ system (which is NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs), Round 6 is the final allocation round. These are the last allocated seats at this new tier, Round 6 marks the end of the entire counselling scheme.
