Hello Vaibhav,

You're in a good spot with a 97 percentile and solid IIIT/NIT/BIT Mesra options.

If your aim is software/tech industry (coding, product, startups, placements): opt for CSE at any of the IIITs at Dharwad, Ranchi, Bhagalpur or Manipur. Even tier-3 IIITs (CSE) will lead to better placements and

With a 94.8 percentile in JEE Main 2025, yes, you do have a chance to get into an NIT, especially for Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, depending on a few factors:

The cutoff ranks for Mechanical Engineering in National Institutes of Technology (NITs) vary each year based on factors like the number of applicants, difficulty level of the JEE exam, and the specific NIT. For candidates belonging to the OBC-NCL (Other Backward Classes - Non-Creamy Layer) category, the cutoff rank required

With your CRL rank of 212093 and OBC rank of 72722, it's unlikely you'll get admission to Mechanical Engineering at NIT Hamirpur. The OBC closing rank for Mechanical Engineering at NIT Hamirpur is typically much lower, around 20,000-40,000. While a rank of 212093 might be good enough for some NITs,

With a category rank of 34527 in the SC category for Mechanical Engineering in the 2025 JEE Main exam, you have a good chance of securing a seat in several National Institutes of Technology (NITs). However, admission to the top-ranked NITs for the Mechanical Engineering branch might be competitive even

Government College of Engineering (GCE), Karad, primarily offers B.Tech admissions through the Maharashtra Common Entrance Test (MHT CET) rather than JEE Main. However, for All India Seats under the Centralized Admission Process (CAP), JEE Main scores are considered.

Hi aspirant,

After finishing a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, you can apply for admission to a degree program, typically through a lateral entry program.  This allows you to begin the second year of a B.Tech (Bachelor of Technology) degree, generally skipping the first year of study.

All the best!

Yes, you can pursue a degree after completing a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering. Many universities and institutions offer lateral entry programs for diploma holders, allowing you to directly join the second year of a Bachelor's degree (B.Tech/B.E.) in Mechanical Engineering or a related field. You may need to meet specific
