It's a Question of your Career!

Hello Mr. Vijay Subramanian,

Both the Engineering Physics (EP) program at IIT Hyderabad and the MS degree in ECE at IIIT Hyderabad will be great options, it depends on your daughter's interests and long-term commitments.

Select Engineering Physics at IITH if she is:

• Interested in core physics, research work or pursuing higher studies (PhD/MS abroad)
• Someone who enjoys studying material science, electromagnetism or quantum mechanics.
• Indifferent to remaining in a field like data science, computational physics, or electronics later in her academic journey while still being able to do research early on.

Select MS ECE at IIITH if she is:

• Interested in electronics, VLSI, embedded systems, or signal processing.
• Does not mind a greater duration (5–6 years), and is focused on the depth of research at the expense of breadth of topics.
• looking for an off-campus research or development position in industry, especially if it will be in the field of ECE.

Key Considerations:

1. EP at IITH is a BTech program that can allow her to spread her wings to broader aspects once she graduates.
2. MS at IIITH is primarily a research program for students who have already made a commitment to specific areas in ECE.
3. IIITH MS is rigorous and selective, promotes research opportunities, and provides stipends but committed 1st years with MS could see research starting early.

If she is unsure for a long-term commitment to research, EP at IITH is more open-ended. If she is certain she wants research opportunities in ECE, then IIITH MS program will not be a mistake.

Hello Aspirant,

If you have missed the NIOS Class 12 exam for April 2025 (Block 1, Stream 1) you will not need to change your block or stream in order to sit the equivalent October 2025 exam. You are allowed to attempt the exam in the same stream and block as NIOS allows the learner to appear in a future exam cycle if they have missed another. All you need to do is fill out the exam form for October 2025 and pay the fees within the timeline for that exam cycle.

Hello Sanjana,

Yes, you will definitely eligible to apply for Direct Second Year (Lateral Entry) admission in Diploma in Computer Engineering if you have completed HSC (Science stream) with 76%. However, the eligibility may vary somewhat depending on the technical education board of a particular state and so on. Normally, students with Science background with subject such as Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics or Vocational/Technical subjects can apply. You need to check state or college criteria before applying.

Hello Akanksha,

Yes, it may be possible to get admission in B. Sc Nursing without a nursing entrance test in some private colleges or deemed universities offering direct admission after Class 12th examination marks, particularly in Biology, Physics, and Chemistry. Although, most government and reputable institutes require candidates to appear for entrance examinations like NEET or state level tests. Always check the admission requirements of the institute you are interested in applying to.

Hello Vaibhav,

If you have been assigned compartment in one of your Class 12 subjects, unfortunately, you are not eligible to apply to CAP counselling for MHT CET. Under DTE Maharashtra clauses, candidates must not have any subjects remaining in their qualifying exam. Here is what you can do:

1. Take the Compartment Exam and pass it.
2. Continue to check the official CAP schedule, there may be a chance for additional rounds or vacant seat rounds later during the CAP counselling where you may apply after passing your compartment.
3. Use the CET Cell Helpline to ask for modifications or special consideration (if applicable) for students with pending compartment results.

Keep your documents ready and keep tab of official announcements to avoid missing deadlines.

Hello Aspirant,

Yes, in IPU (Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University) counselling, Round 2 usually starts after the first round withdrawal period. There is a cutoff date for withdrawing the fees after Round 1 that the university determines. If, after Round 1, you do not withdraw the fees by then, you will not be refunded the fees later - even if you opt out of any more rounds. It is key to follow the IPU schedule carefully so that you do not lose your seat, or money, while waiting.

Hello Mahitha,

At an 88.57 percentile in JEE Main, a CRL rank of 168000 and an EWS Category rank of 24000, the likelihood of receiving CSE or other top branches in NITs/IIITs through CSAB counseling are almost negligible, especially for general/open category seats. That said, as a female EWS candidate, you may have a few chances in:

• Lower ranked NITs/IIITs (NIT Mizoram, NIT Nagaland, IIIT Una, IIIT Bhagalpur, etc.)
• Non-core branches (Civil, Metallurgy, or Biotechnology)
• Home state quota, if applicable and available at CSAB
