Engineering Entrance Exam

With a JEE Main Common Rank List (CRL) rank of 139,226 and an OBC-NCL category rating of 46,026 it could be difficult to get into prestigious National Institutes of Technology (NITs). Nonetheless, there may be openings in more recent or less popular NITs, especially in branches with less demand.

Category-specific ranks are the main criterion for admission to NITs. Every year the amount of candidates, seat availability, and reservation regulations all affect the opening and closing ranks for each NIT and branch. The official Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JoSAA) website offers comprehensive opening and closing ranks for every counseling round so it's best to check it out for accurate and current information.

With a preparatory rank of 43 in the ST category in JEE Advanced, your chances of getting into an IIT in rounds 3 to 5 of JoSAA counseling are possible, but it depends on various factors such as the opening and closing ranks for each IIT and branch. Typically, preparatory rank students are given seats in IITs if there are vacancies, but the branches available might be limited to less popular ones.

You should keep an eye on the JoSAA counseling rounds and the specific cutoffs for your category. If you don't secure a seat in the earlier rounds, there's still a chance in the later rounds as the cutoffs might decrease if seats remain unfilled.

With a rank of 9889 in JEE Mains B.Plan, you have a chance to gain admission in various institutes for the Bachelor of Planning (B.Plan) course, especially in lower-rank NITs, GFTIs or private colleges. The options include NIT Agartala, NIT Patna and NIT Hamirpur in which you can gain admission for the B.Plan course. Additionally, some state government engineering colleges and private institutions are able to offer B.Plan courses with slightly higher cutoffs. One has to be cautious about the formal counseling and seat allotment process through JoSAA or any other state-level counseling sessions so that all possibilities are taken into account.

Being ranked 2,88,000 and 80 percentile in JEE Mains, getting into MBM Jodhpur might be difficult, as cutoff ranks for the most sought-after branches such as Computer Science and Mechanical Engineering are quite low. Your chances will be better though if you belong to the reserved category, or if there are vacant seats in the state quota for students from Rajasthan. Since you said you have an 89.6 percentile in RBSE 12th you can also consider state-level counseling or management quota, which might be beneficial in terms of opportunities It's also better to keep yourself abreast of the official counseling process and go through last year's cutoffs for better understanding.

The Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT) offers a 5-year Integrated M.Sc. in Computer Science with specialisation in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science. The course is ideal for students who wish to study in-depth topics of computer Science particularly AI and data science. The course is research-oriented, and students are encouraged to work on technology development and problem-solving. The lecturers adapt their teaching to embed a culture of research. However, some have said that placement opportunities might be less than in more traditional engineering programs possibly due to industrial perceptions about integrated M.Sc. qualifications Prospective students should weigh up their need to do research against potential placement difficulties.
