Computer Science and Engineering

Hi.

1. Eligibility Criteria (General for CSE)

To be eligible for B.Tech CSE admissions in 2026:

10+2 or equivalent passed/appearing (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics) from a recognised board.
 Most colleges require Physics + Chemistry + Mathematics as compulsory subjects.
 Minimum aggregate marks usually ~ 45–50% (varies by institute/state category). 

 2. Entrance Exams for B.Tech CSE (2026)

National Level Exams

These are accepted by most top engineering colleges across India:

JEE Main 2026 – National entrance for NITs, IIITs, Centrally Funded Technical Institutes, and many private colleges.
 Conducted in two sessions:
• Jan 21–30, 2026 (Session 1)
• Apr 1–9, 2026 (Session 2)

JEE Advanced 2026 – Entrance for IITs for candidates who qualify through JEE Main.
(tentatively scheduled around May 2026). 

State Level Entrance Exams

Many states conduct their own tests for state engineering college seats:

GUJCET 2026 – Gujarat state entrance (March 29, 2026) 

KCET / COMEDK UGET (Karnataka) – For admissions to engineering colleges in Karnataka.

MHT‑CET 2026 (Maharashtra), etc.

University / Institute Level Exams

Many universities run their own tests as well:

SRMJEEE 2026 – SRM Institute engineering entrance (multiple sessions) 

BITSAT 2026 – For BITS campuses (Pilani, Goa, Hyderabad) 

VITEEE 2026 – For VIT campuses (Vellore, Chennai, Bhopal, Amaravati)

LPUNEST, SITEEE, etc. – Other institutes' exams accepted.

 3. Admission Timeline 2026

JEE Main 2026 Session 1 Registration: Expected October–November 2025
JEE Main 2026 Session 1 Exam: Jan 21–30, 2026
Session 2 Registration: January 2026
Session 2 Exam: Apr 1–9, 2026
JEE Advanced 2026: Around May 2026 

State and institute level tests like GUJCET, MHT‑CET, SRMJEEE, VITEEE, etc., are scheduled at various points between Jan–May 2026. 

 4. Admission Routes (Typical)

➤ Through JEE Main

Most NITs, IIITs, CFTIs, and many private colleges accept JEE Main scores.

Counseling via JoSAA / CSAB takes place after JEE Main results.

➤ Through State Entrance Tests

Seats in state colleges filled via state exam counseling (e.g., GUJCET, KCET, MHT‑CET).

➤ Through Institute Level Exams

Some universities reserve seats via their own tests like SRMJEEE, VITEEE, BITSAT.

➤ Direct / Management Seats

Some colleges may offer direct admission based on board marks or management quota (vary by college, not central). 

 5. Documents Typically Required

 10th & 12th Marksheet
 Entrance exam scorecard (JEE Main / state test / university exam)
 Category / domicile certificates (if applicable)
 Identity proof (Aadhaar / passport)
 Passport‑size photos

Hi.

From the official curriculum and programme description, the languages include:

C — “Programming in C” appears in Semester 1. 

Python — there is a dedicated “Python programming + lab” in Semester 2. 

Likely C+ / Java / other languages — the general CSE programme page lists that graduates are trained in “Python, Java, C+, JavaScript” among others. 

So minimally, there are at least three languages (C, Python, plus C+/Java from general CSE curriculum) taught. According to some sources, students learn up to 5 or more languages including JavaScript — so the “kinds of languages” count might be 4–5 or slightly more.

1. At what age does your son have to start coaching for IIT? 

It has three perfect points of entry, depending on the speed of your child:

• Option A: Enter in Class 11 (Most widespread and not less than enough)
  
  The majority of IIT toppers start coaching when they are in Class 11.
  
  Coaching Class 11 -12 (2-year program) is just sufficient to crack JEE Main and Advanced.
  
  This leaves Class 910 free to construct basics and score highly with the boards.

• Option B: Major in Class 10 (Early foundation - optional)
  
  Beneficial in case your son is interested in physical sciences ahead of his age in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics.
  
  Assist in making Class 11 lighter since JEE syllabus is voluminous.
  
  Only to be recommended when he is really interested and able to manage additional study.

• Option C. Choice: Begin in Class 9 (Foundation course- only when necessary)
  
  The foundation batches primarily enhance the following:
  
  Math logic
  
  Science basics
  
  Speed + accuracy
  
  Not a requirement for all students.
  
  Good depending on how much your son is either highly motivated or in basics.
  
  Summary:
  It suffices to begin coaching for JEE in Class 11.
  The 9-10 class should be about clarity of concepts, NCERT power and problem-solving ability development.
  
  2. Which Exit Exam Do you require to take to be able to study Computer Science in IIT?
  
  To secure an admission in Computer Science Engineering (CSE) in any IIT, your son has to pass:
  
  Step 1: JEE Main
  
  Conducted by NTA
  
  NITs, IIITs and JEE Advanced qualification:Used.
  
  Step 2: JEE Advanced
  
  Conducted by IITs
  
  Only JEE Advanced rank is used to get admissions to IIT.
  
  Competition level:
  
  The most sought after branch is CSE: it takes very high rank:
  
  For IIT Bombay CSE → AIR under 70–100
  
  IIT Delhi CSE → AIR under ~200
  
  Newer IITs → AIR 1500–4000
  
   What Should Your Son Do Now (Action plan 9)?
  
  Enhanced Math (number systems, geometry, algebra)
  
  Read NCERT Science in depth
  
  The problem solving of Olympiad or NTSE level.
  
  Control screen time and create study routines.
