It's a Question of your Career!

Hello Saicharan,

Indeed, choosing Power Systems and Power Electronics at IIT Madras would be worthwhile due to the brand value of the institute, the faculty, and the interdisciplinary platform. While this program is typically associated with core electrical roles (PSU, R&D, power sector companies), IIT Madras would allow you flexibility if you were willing to select electives and projects in VLSI beyond the main area of study, particularly if you are trying to switch to a new discipline.

The average (PS/PE) package for IIT Madras is in the range of 12–18 LPA, depending on the candidate's skillset and internship/research profile. The opportunities could be some of the top companies in this sphere such as GE, Siemens, Schneider, Tata Power and various R&D wings of MNCs. If you are interested in VLSI and you are willing to put in the extra effort (projects, elective courses, internships), then IIT Madras will give you a better ecosystem to do so than NIT Rourkela because of its network, infrastructure, and placement diversity. Some students from other departments have landed VLSI jobs this way, but it requires significant preparation and initiative.

Hello,

For admission in CSE at NIT Surathkal , SC category students usually need a JEE Main rank around 300 or below. In recent years, the closing rank for SC (Other State) was around 320–360. So, to have a good chance, aim for a rank under 350.

Hope it helps !

Yes, with 460 marks in CUET UG 2025, you have a very good chance of getting a 5-year integrated M.Tech program at DAVV as an OBC candidate with MP domicile.

CUET score in the specific subject combination required for the Honours course is more important during DU seat allotment.

Yes, with 88 percentile in GAT and 77 percentile in English, you have a fair chance of getting Economics in some central universities, especially in newer or less competitive ones.

Yes, you can apply for JEE Main in 2026. Candidates can attempt JEE Main within 3 years of passing Class 12 , so you're eligible until 2025 and also in 2026 , as your diploma does not affect this eligibility.

Yes, you can get admission in BPT through private colleges that accept MHT CET PCB scores, but not through NEET-based government colleges.

If you passed your 12th in the year 2022, then you are not allowed to apply for JEE Main in 2025. According to the rules, only students who passed 12th in 2023, 2024, or are going to appear in 2025 can apply for JEE Main 2025.

There is no age limit for JEE Main, but your 12th passing year must be within the last two years.

If you still want to try for JEE, one option is to repeat 12th in 2025. Then you can apply for JEE Main in 2026. Otherwise, you can try for other engineering entrance exams like state-level exams or diploma-based admissions.

Yes, it’s a good score. Start your preference list with top colleges like Hindu, Miranda, Hansraj, followed by Gargi, Ramjas, and then backup options like Satyawati or Bhaskaracharya.
