JEE

No, the specific type of HSC board (like CBSE or ICSE) does not inherently determine success in JEE Main. While CBSE is often recommended for JEE preparation due to its alignment with the JEE syllabus and focus on NCERT, students from all boards, including ICSE, can successfully crack the exam. The key factor is a strong understanding of concepts, regardless of the board, and effective preparation strategies. 

There are various colleges that do not require 75 percent in boards and accept JEE Main result such as DTU, IIT Banglore, IIT Delhi, IIT Hyderabad, IISc Banglore, IISER, Jadavpur University, etc.

The best colleges along with available branches that you can get with 150 marks in JEE Mains are NIT Jalandhar, NIT Silchar, NIT Raipur, NIT Patna, NIT Durgapur, NIT Hamirpur and NIT Manipur. You can also get IIITs such as IIIT Agartala, IIIT Pune, IIIT Lucknow and IIIT Gwalior.

Getting top IIIT like IIIT Delhi and IIIT hyderabad with 94% is not possible as IIIT Delhi requires 97-98% and IIIT Hyderabad requires nearly 99.6% marks (nearly +260 marks in JEE mains)

With 94% and OBC category, you can aim for mid term IIITs like Kota, Pune, Guwahati, Kalyani, Kottayam, etc. as their percentage requirement is 88-90 above percentile which is quite low than top IIITs and courses like CSE, ECE, IT are achievable there.

With 108 marks in JEE Main, you can generally expect a percentile in the 92-96 range, translating to an estimated rank between 40,000 and 60,000. While admission to top-tier NITs or IITs for popular branches like Computer Science might be difficult for general category students, you stand a good chance of securing a seat in lower-ranked NITs, IIITs (especially for less competitive branches like Civil, Mechanical, or Biotechnology), or various Government-funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs) and state-level engineering colleges, particularly if you have home-state quota or belong to a reserved category.

With a 92.5 percentage in JEE Mains 2024 and EWS category, your son can get CSE AIML in IIIT Bhagalpur branch, GFTIs in Assam University Silchar branch, and NIT in NIT Mirzoram/ NIT Nagaland /NIT sikkim branch .
