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.

It's difficult to say definitively whether a 94.4148 percentile in JEE Main, with home state, OBC, and female quota, will guarantee a BTech Physics seat at NIT Calicut. While a 94 percentile is a good score, it's not a guarantee of admission to a specific program at a specific NIT.

The final cutoff ranks and percentiles for NIT Calicut vary from year to year and are influenced by factors like the overall JEE Main performance, the number of applicants, and the number of seats available.

Your percentile needs to be converted to a rank, which is what is used for seat allotment during the JoSAA counselling process.

Home state quotas can significantly impact your chances, as seats are reserved for students from the state where the NIT is located.

These quotas further influence seat allocation, and the impact on a program like BTech Physics will depend on the specific number of reserved seats and the overall demand for that program.

I suggest you to use JEE predictor tool which will help you to know your chances in nit Calicut .

Based on the JEE Main 2024 cutoff data for NIT Calicut, a 78 percentile score may not be sufficient for admission into most B.Tech programs, even under the SC female category.

Closing ranks for SC female candidates in 2024:

- Computer Science and Engineering (CSE): 809 (Other State quota)

- Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE): 3551

- Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE): 4880

- Mechanical Engineering: 7097

- Civil Engineering: 11567

- Chemical Engineering: 9565

- Bio Technology: 11012

- Production Engineering: 11853

These ranks are All India Ranks (AIR). A 78 percentile typically translates to an AIR of around 180,000 to 200,000, which is higher (worse) than the required closing ranks.

Conclusion: It's unlikely that you’ll get a seat in NIT Calicut with 78 percentile under SC female category in 2025.

Recommendations:

- Explore other NITs with higher closing ranks.

- Look into state-level colleges with SC reservations.

- Participate in CSAB special rounds, which often have relaxed cutoffs.

- Consider alternative exams like COMEDK or state CETs.

Hello

If you are looking to rejoin a discontinued course or attend college just for exams , here's some steps you can consider :

1. Contact the College Administration : Reach out to the administration or registrar's office of the college where you were enrolled. They will provide specific information on re-admission policies, specially for students who have discontinued.

2. Re-admission Policy : Many colleges have a re-admission process but it may vary depending on how long you've been away. Since you completed your 12th in 2016 and it's been a few years , you may need to submit additional documents or fulfill certain conditions.

3. Examination-Only Option : Some universities offer external or private candidate options where students can study independently and appear only for exams. Confirm if your institution allows this.

4. Credits and Course Continuation : If you are looking to continue the same course , ask about credit transfers or if you need to retake certain subjects. You may also need to check if the syllabus has changed.

5. Documentation : Be ready with necessary documents like your previous academic records, identification proof and any official communication related to your discontinuation.

6. Alternative Options : If rejoining the same college isn't feasible, you can consider transferring to another institution or enrolling in distance learning programs.

hope this helps you .
