It's a Question of your Career!

Dear Candidate ,
With your rank , getting a seat in Padmavathi University College is possible , especially in less competitive branches like Civil , Electrical, or Agricultural Engineering. Highly sought - after branches such as  ECE or Mechanical may be difficult to secure in the initial rounds but could become available in later rounds or through spot admissions if vacancies arise . Your chances depend on the branch preference , seat availability and competition this year .

Dear student,

You cannot get admission to BAMS in Kerala just by writing the KEAM exam , but KEAM registration is still required for the admission process. BAMS seats in Kerala are allotted based on your NEET-UG score , not KEAM marks.

To be eligible, you must have passed 12th with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology , and also qualified NEET . After NEET results are out, the Kerala CEE conducts centralized counselling (CAP) for BAMS and other medical courses.

So, even though KEAM doesn't conduct an entrance test for BAMS, you must register on the KEAM portal and submit your NEET score there to be considered for state quota seats.

In short:

• NEET score is mandatory for BAMS.

• KEAM registration is required to participate in Kerala's counselling.

• Admission is through centralized allotment based on NEET rank.

Make sure you’ve done both— appeared for NEET and registered through KEAM —to be eligible for BAMS in Kerala.

Dear  Sir,
The information that you have given suggests that your son has cleared the cutoff and is eligible for admission through JoSSA counseling. While top NITs like Trichy , Warangal , and Surathkal may be out of reach for branches like CSE and ECE due to their much  lower closing ranks for OBC , there are still good options available. He has a fair chance of getting branches like Civil, Mechanical or Metallurgical and Materials Engineering in mid to lower -tier NITs such as Puducherry , Arunachal Pradesh , Meghalaya and Mizoram .In IIITs and GFTIs , which usually have higher closing ranks , he may get core branches like r ECE in newer or less competitive campuses such as Bhagalpur , Kalyani  or GFTIs as Assam University or Gurukula Kangri .

Hi Harsha,

If you are interested in a potential career in software development, pay attention to the fundamental courses and areas of study. You should start taking a programming class, preferably one where you can program with Python, JavaScript, or Java. Making sure you learn data structures and algorithms is also very important. Understanding the foundational computer science domain (databases, networking, and so on) is going to be useful too. In terms of your interests, there are specializations available such as web development (frontend/backend), mobile development (Android/iOS), AI/ML (Python, Tensorflow), DevOps (AWS, Docker), and cybersecurity. There are even more developed areas including blockchain and quantum computing now surfacing as well. If you want to stay in the game, I would suggest thinking of specializing in the areas of AI, upskilling, cloud computing and learning by doing, from projects, open source and certificates.

At 234 marks in 2025, you are unlikely to secure a seat in any MBBS or BDS program under both state and AIQ rounds. Instead, you can try out alternatives such as Alliedhealth sciences/paramedical courses, non-clinical undergraduate degrees, Ayush or other medical programs.

Eligibility : Bachelor’s degree in any discipline from a recognized university with at least 50% aggregate marks for Non-Sponsored category (45–50% for Sponsored). Final-year students can apply provisionally, submitting degree proof by October 31. Specialized MBA programs (e.g., Data Science, IT) may require relevant degrees like Engineering or Statistics with 50% marks.

Entrance Exams : Valid scores from CAT (85 percentile), MAT (650 for Non-Sponsored, 600 for Sponsored), XAT (85 percentile), CMAT (200), GMAT (550), or NMAT (250 for Non-Sponsored) are required. Alternatively, candidates can take the Amity Written Test.

Selection Process : Shortlisted candidates undergo Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI). Some campuses may include essay writing to assess communication and analytical skills.

Hello Aspirant,

A Character Certificate can be frequently needed to enter college, even for private 12th candidates, as some colleges have a requirement for you to present one to confirm your behavior. If your school does not want to provide you with a Character Certificate, it may be worthwhile to ask the college you wish to attend if they can accept other forms of declaration such as a self declaration, an affidavit, or a certificate from a community leader or gazetted officer. If the school is valid in their refusal of the certificate, consider approaching a higher authority (eg. district education officer) or the college and providing them with your situation to request they find an alternative or maybe even exempt you if they find a chance. It is always better to know these things before heading into a form of admission.

dear student,

With a cutoff of 187.5 under the MBC category , your chances of getting CSE or ECE at Kumaraguru College of Technology (KCT), Coimbatore are quite low. These branches are highly competitive, and in recent years, the closing cutoffs for MBC candidates in CSE and ECE have typically been above 190 . Your score is slightly below the usual range, so it's unlikely you'll secure a seat in these top branches.

However, you may still have a good chance of getting other branches at KCT, such as Mechanical, Civil, or Biotechnology , which generally have lower closing cutoffs. Additionally, you can explore other reputed private engineering colleges in Tamil Nadu where CSE or ECE seats may be available for your cutoff. Make sure to list a range of colleges and branches in your TNEA counselling choices to maximize your chances.

good luck

Both are excellent choices, but if you are inclined to words software or tech industry , NIT Trichy ECE has a slight edge. If you are more interested in core engineering research or IIT prestige, then IITRopar EE is the best.
