Engineering Entrance Exam

Engineering is the best option. You can opt for civil branch.

You need to fill the JEE-Mains entrance exam. For preparation, you can refer to NCERT books. You must take regular tests to evaluate your preparation. Students clearing JEE Mains will be able to sit for JEE Advance. JEE Mains focus mainly on basic concepts. JEE Advanced will test mainly on application part of concepts.

Manipal University conducts their own entrance exam MUOET. If you want to be a part of Manipal University, so you need to qualify that exam.

With 62 marks and 89% marks in JEE, your JEE rank would be low. I got 117 in JEE(115, being the cut-off), and 89.8%(ISC Board) and got CSE in JIIT-128.

Hi,
Yes, you can get admission in IISc without appearing for JEE Mains or Advanced, but you will have to appear for some other all India level exam. Why don’t you want to appear in JEE Mains? You can still apply.
However, IISc is expected to open online application forms for admission in the 2nd week of February, you have to wait till then, for details. But remember that admission is held on the basis of your score in any of the entrance exams you appear for.

Hello Saurabh,
Just getting into any NIT is no big deal. If I go by previous year's data there is unbelievable huge variation in AIR's of students who got admission in same NIT. This year, even though AIR will be decided only on marks obtained in JEE Mains, I do not expect pattern to change. So, do not worry about getting into any NIT but think of getting good marks in JEE Mains which will enable you to get admission in your desired NIT.

Hello Vignesh,
From this year onwards method of deciding AIR has undergone change. Marks obtained in 12th will not be considered for AIR. Hence, not only marks obtained in JEE Mains but how many students have scored more or less than you only will decide your AIR. However, I am sure after the exam is over there will be few sites which will have some software to do guesswork. Till then I suggest do not think over it but concentrate on your studies.

Hello Sunny,
It's very difficult to answer your query since from this year onwards your marks in JEE Mains only will decide your AIR. What this means is that how others have scored will matter a great deal. As presently there is no way to answer your query, just do not worry and keep studying. After the exams there will be a large number of websites which will claim to answer your query. Till then best wishes.

Hi,
It entirely depends upon the cutoff of that particular year. But, a score of 250+ can give you an upper hand in this case.

To appear for JEE Advanced you need to be in top 20% in your respective board or either score at least 75% in the same.
