Hi Sidhartha !
Can you please let me know best options for Jee Mains AIR 26395 ?
Dear Rashi,
Can you please specify your preferred branch?
It would be nice if you can list out your preferred institutes so that I can figure out where can you get the admission…
Otherwise there can be numerous options which is difficult to mention over here…
I would like to go for cse or ece in any nit or iiit .
Dear Rashi,
Sorry for a delayed reply. You can try for the new ones. IIIT Guwahati, Vadodara, Sricity, Kota can be good options.
hey ! my rank in jee advance is 15498 … can I get admission in any iit ??
Dear Rashi,
With your score, it is difficult to get admission to any IIT.
Hi,
i secured 92.8 percentile in january jee main. What are the institutes I can get for pursuing mechanical engineering.
Hi Pradyumna,
Sorry for a delayed reply. With 92.8 percentile your rank may be around 65K. But this is difficult to predict the things accurately this time as JEE is being conducted twice this year for the first time. But to be predictive, it is difficult to get through any NIT with this score. May be you can try for state GECs.
Sir, my son got 18942 rank jee main. what are the best colleges for cse with that rank??

Sir, I got 87816 rank in jee mains (genral).I want civil or CS branch. PLEASE tell me in which nit or iiit can I get admission
Respected sir, I got 80.57 percentile in jee mains and secured 3571 rank from ST category. So can I get NIT with a good branch? Or should I try for IIIT? And aslo please tell me how I should fill the priority list of jossa counselling.
Hi Dishant,
With your rank, there is a chance of getting CSE / ECE in your home state NIT. You can try for other state NITs or your home state NIT for rare engineering branches such as Chemical, Production, Bio-Tech etc. (https://www.igniteengineers.com/rare-engineering-branches/). I would suggest you to go for IIITs if you are getting CSE / ECE there rather than joining rare branches in lower ranked NITs.
You might try the following preference order:
1. IIIT Jabalpur ECE / Mech
2. IIITDM Kancheepuram Mechanical Engineering with specialization in Smart Manufacturing
3. IIIT Sri City CSE / ECE
4. IIIT Guwahati CSE / ECE
5. IIIT Lucknow CSE
6. IIIT Surat ECE
7. IIIT Pune CSE / ECE
8. IIITDM Kurnool Computer Engineering
9. IIIT Kottayam CSE
10. IIIT Vadodara CSE / ECE

ECE Branch
Hi,
Which one is a better option among COEP, VJTI and IIIT Pune?
Hi Siddhesh,
All the three Institutes are very good.
Both COEP and VJTI are even more than 200 years old institutes. Well established and carries plethora of history in producing good engineers. You can even find more about these two institutes in the following link:
https://www.igniteengineers.com/15-oldest-engineering-colleges-in-india/
Even though IIIT Pune is a pretty new Institutes, but all the IIITs are growing very rapidly. With very good infrastructure and faculty members, IIITs are doing great.
Though all 3 institutes are good, my preference order would be as follows:
1. VJTI
2. COEP
3. IIIT Pune
Thank you sir
I want to get an iit.my score is 417 and the marks-33.06 CE(category -sc).any chance of getting any iit.i can go for least specialization too.is there any iit when I can get spare time for my preparation?
Dear Sushama,
Very sorry for the delayed response…
You have a fair chance of getting admission to good IITs as well. But I don’t think you can find spare time to prepare something else with IIT curriculum. Still if you want to do so, then you can go for IIT BHU, ISM Dhanbad and the other new IITs (Other than IIT Hyderabad and IIT Gandhi Nagar). This is a personal suggestion, There is no motive to defame the curriculum of the respective IITs.
I have scored 111 and my rank is 44175. In which colledge should I apply as I want to go only for cse stream
Hey Kushal,
You can try for the north-east NITs (new ones) and the new IIITs. Also you can try for good state level engineering colleges. If you can filter out few college names then I can let you know which one would be st for you or I can give a preference order.
Sir ,
I am getting IIIT Dharwad cse .
Is it better to join there ?
Also I have option to join EEE in SASTRA Thanjavur .
Which of the two institutions is better ?
Dear Sai,
I would suggest you to to join CSE in IIIT Dharwad. This is a good institute and expected to grow fast as is mentored by IIIT Bangalore and Infosys.
SASTRA is also a good and old university but is a private one. If you have interest for EEE branch then go for SASTRA, otherwise join IIIT Dharwad CSE.
sir this year 2019 I got 98.84 percentile in jee mains jan, can I get admission in abv-iiitm gwalior cse.
my rank will be around 10000 to 10151 plz tell me.
Hi Dhiman,
Sorry for a delayed response. With your rank, IIIT Gwalio CSE would be a borderline case. You may get a seat in the later rounds of the counseling. All the best.
Hi Sidhartha ji
I am JEE main 99.58 percentile holder, preparing for advance and other couple of tests.
I want to explore international programs having start years in India in computer engineering. as I wish to be placed abroad in foreign company.
Could you please help me in getting information regarding
1. List of such programs.
I think these programs are having heavy fee structure.
So also please advise on the worth of paying heavy amount for such programs.
Thanks and Regards
Anirudh Arora
Hi Anirudh,
Go for any IIT CSE program. You will easily get placed to foreign companies. You need not to go for explicitly an international program for this. You can also join B.Tech in AI in IIT Hyderabad. Ai is in boom now-a-days. You can get a very good job in multinational company in this domain.
Sir,
Is metallurgy & Material science engineering a good branch with respect to placement opportunities.???
If so, which is the best NIT for MME?
Dear Suresh,
All the branches are good. Metallurgy and material science is a good branch. It has job opportunities in government sectors as well as several plants in India. You have good option for higher studies in such sectors. You might not find ample jobs like computer science, but the competition is also low for this branch.
NIT Nagpur is considered as a good institute for MME. Other NITs you can consider are Warangal, Trichy, Surathkal, Jaipur, Rourkela, Durgapur and Jamshedpur.
Hi Sidhartha ji,
My son has got 21400 rank (Genaral) in Jee Mains and he is intetested in ECE branch (he wants build carrer in core, not interested in software).
We have one option as IIIT Sri city, kindly suggest if any other better options for his rank.
He is preparing for Jee advance now and not taking any other entrance exams.
Thanks for you help.
Regards
Vijay.
Dear Vijay ji,
Can you please mention your home state…
Telangana sir.
Dear Vijay Ji,
Since You are from Telengana, your home NIT is NIT Warangal (Which looks difficult to get in with 21400 rank).
So We need to look for the NIT of other states or IIITs. I am mentioning few of the most suitable institutes where there is a chance of your son to get a seat. I feel the below mentioned IIITs are better than the NITs where your son can get a seat. So I am only mentioning the IIITs over here. Last 2 institutes are even better than the ones mentioned from 1 to 5, but they are more competitive. I believe, your son can surely get a seat in anyone among the institutes listed from 1 to 5.
1. IIIT Sri City
2. IIIT Srirangam
3. IIITDM Kurnool
4. IIIT Dharwad
5. IIIT Guwahati
6. IIITDM Jabalpur
7. IIITDM Kancheepuram
Thank you very much for your help Sidhartha ji.

My rank is 10235 and my home State is Maharashtra. I am interested in CS. What are the likely cut offs for IIIT Hyderabad?
Hi Ambada,
I am suggesting you top 10 preferred institutes for CSE based on your rank as below. Last year cut-offs for IIIT Hyderabad are (CSE – 256 marks, ECE – 210 Marks). This year also you can expect similar cutoffs.
1. NIT Silchar
2. NIT Andhra Pradesh
3. NIT Agartala
4. IIIT Gwalior
5. IIITDM Jabalpur
6. IIITDM Kancheepuram
7. NIT Puducherry
8. IIIT Sri City
10. NIT Raipur (Borderline Case)
Pl suggest preferences to get admission, My rank is 21300 general
HBTU CS/IT
PUNJAB ENGG ELECTRICAL/ MECHANICAL
BIT MESRA ELECTRICAL/ MECHANICAL
DHIRUBHAI
MY HOME STATE IS UP
OR ANY OTHER BEST OPTION AS YOU DEEM FIT
Hi Anusha,
You can choose Dhirubhai before BIT Meshra.
I would also suggest you to consider IIIT Lucknow
Thanks Siddharth ji
Whether IIIT Lucknow shall be better than HBTU ?
Also pl comment on other options as requested as I live in NCR
Hi Anusha,
HBTU is better than IIIT Lucknow. This is because HBTU is pretty old institute, so it has very good placement record. IIIT Lucknow is pretty new, but it will grow very soon. So, you can consider IIIT Lucknow after HBTU.
If you are staying in NCR region, then you can try for IIIT Delhi, DTU and NSIT as well. All these three institutes are very good.
I got 89.2 percentile in jee mains.which nit /gfti/iiit will i get???
Can you please mention your rank?
Dear Sidhartha,
My son got general rank of 21308 and home state is U P. Please suggest best options looking to the fact that we live in Delhi but I do not have any problem of sending him anywhere. Should we prefer CS/IT to other branches.
Dear Monoj ji,
Let me start with your last question. Looking to the Indian market, I can suggest you to go for CS/IT. There are pretty good companies in software like Google, Facebook, Adobe and many more. There companies offer handsome perks. Also, this branch provides good opportunities for higher studies abroad (Of-course higher study is an open option for all the branches).
I am listing down 10 preferred colleges according to your son’s rank. I am not restricting my preference to NCR region, as I think better college is more important than the place restriction. I would also suggest you to encourage your son to stay in hostel (which will be a case if he would get a seat in a college outside NCR region) even if he would get a seat in NCR region. This actually will make your son responsible and would help in building his personality (which is a must required thing after his graduation).
1. IIIT Sricity (CSE/ECE)
2. IIITDM Jabalpur (ECE)
3. IIIT Lucknow (IT)
4. IIIT Guwahati (CSE/ECE)
5. IIIT Vadodara (CSE/ECE)
6. IIIT Dharwad (CSE/ECE)
7. IIIT Pune (CSE/ECE)
8. IIIT Srirangam (ECE/CSE(Borderline case))
9. IIIT Surat (CSE/ECE)
10. IIIT Bhubaneswar (CSE/ECE)
With the mentioned rank, it is difficult to get into a good NIT with CSE/ECE. So, I have mentioned the IIITs only. The mentioned institutes are very good.
Since you stay in Delhi, you can also look for IIIT Delhi, DTU Delhi, HBTU Kanpur, NSIT Delhi.
Thanks Siddhartha ji
Very clearly explained. Obliged.
Most welcome Manoj ji
One more question Sidhartha ji,
Whether ECE at IIIT Jabalpur shall be better than other IIIT with CSE.
Dear Monoj ji,
Can you please specify the other IIITs with CSE option. Then I might comment on this.
IIIT kota
IIIT SONEPAT
IIIT LUCKNOW
IIIT PUNE
Dear Manoj ji,
You can consider IIIT Pune, IIIT Lucknow and IIIT Kota CSE equivalent to IIIT Jabalpur ECE. The only benefit with IIIT Jabalpur is that, it is a pretty old institute. But these 3 new IIITs are also doing good. Now you need to rethink which branch you are interested in. If you are interested in CSE then you can go for anyone of the new ones. Or you can go for IIIT Jabalpur ECE.
Thanks Sidhartha ji,
Since i have completed 12th from UP , i shall get HBTU at my rank looking to the previous year cut off but my rank is not sufficient for IIIT Delhi, DTU and NSIT.
Thanks once again .
Hey Anusha,
Go ahead with HBTU. I know it is a very good institute. Good luck and all the best for your future.
Dear Sir,
Thanks for your advice.
Dear Sir,
Thanks for your advice.
Hey Anusha,
Most welcome.
My rank I’m jee main is 33727 and my home state is odisha.. So, I’m thinking about cse in iiit Bhubaneswar. Is it any good comparing other iiits like iiit Delhi or iiit Allahabad?
Dear Abinash,
IIIT Bhubaneswar is not as good as IIIT Delhi or IIIT Allahabad. But it is considered as a good institute. In Odisha, you can consider the institute among top 5 institutes. You can go for CSE in IIIT Bhubaneswar without any worry.
Dear Sir,
I have a CRL of 28215, am from Gen Category and finished 12th from Jaipur, Rajasthan. I am interested in CSE. Pl suggest good IIITs for CSE/ IT for my rank.
Sir, is LNMIIT at Jaipur a good option.
Regards
Dear Raj,
Sorry for such a late reply.
LNMIIT Jaipur is a good option. It is a very good private technical institute.
You can get CSE in following IIITs:
1. IIIT Nagpur
2. IIIT Bhopal
3. IIIT Kottayam
4. IIIT Kurnool
5. IIIT Bhagalpur
6. IIIT Ranchi
7. IIIT Manipur
Hello Sidhartha
My son has got a rank of 105616. I know its a poor score. But it would help if you could suggest the best possible options under the given situation. He is keen on pursuing the CSE branch. Pune is the home city.
As a matter of fact, is it even worthwhile to attend JoSAA?
I was told that IIIT Una, IIIT Pune could be tried but I am really confused.
Regards.
Dear Arora ji,
With the mentioned score it is really difficult to get into any IIIT. Getting CSE in IIIT would be even difficult. If you are extremely lucky then you might get a seat in special round of JoSAA.
I would suggest you should look for good private universities.
Thanks you Sidhartha for quick reply.
What would you suggest in private universities?
Also, how about the BIT Jaipur, Patna, the extended campuses of BIT Mesra?
The extended campuses of BIT are not that good. You can try for vit, srm, SASTRA, amrita, nirma, LNMIIT etc
Hi Sidhartha
Would you share your feedback/analysis about the colleges in Pune vis-a-vis the private institutes that you had listed i.e. vit, srm, SASTRA, amrita, nirma, LNMIIT.
I understand after after the govt. college COEP, some of the known institutes in Pune are: VIT, PICT, MIT, Bharti Vidyapeeth, D Y Patil. Also Symbiosis Institute of Technology.
Thanks.
Hi,
The institutes I have mentioned are considered as very good private universities at national level.
The institutes you have mentioned are also good but mostly known in Pune. COEP is govt. and considered as very good. If you are getting a seat in COEP then go for it. Otherwise you can consider the colleges which I have mentioned. Thaper can also be added to my list. If you want to be in Pune then the preference order can be exactly the same way you have mentioned.
This is late but still, Thanks Sidhartha.
My Son scored 2390 in SAT 2. Applying for DASA. Home state is Tamil Nadu. Want to do CSE. MY queries are
1. Is IT is different from CSE. which is better.
2. Is CSE from IIITDM Kancheepuram is good . is it hardware oriented.
3. Is IT from IIITA is better from CSE from IIIT Guwalior or IIITDM kancheepuram or NIT say Warangal.
4. Can you Please list out 12 Colleges (NIT and IIIT) best for CSE . I need guidance.
Thanks
Dear Balaji ji,
1. IT is completely software oriented program, whereas CSE is inclined to both software and computer hardware. Mostly CSE is preferred over IT.
2. Yes CSE in IIITDM Kancheepuram is good. It is both software and hardware oriented.
3. You can prefer IT of IIITA over CSE of IIIT Gwalior and IIITDM Kancheepuram. CSE form NIT Warangal can be preferred over IT from IIITA.
4. The preferred colleges for CSE/IT are as below:
1. NIT Warangal
2. NIT Allahabad
3. IIIT Hyderabad
4. IIIT Delhi
5. NIT Suratkal
6. IIIT Allahabad
7. NIT Calicut
8. IIIT Gwalior
9. NIT Jaipur
10. NIT Rourkela
11. NIT Bhopal
12. IIITDM Kancheepuram
Thanks Sidhartha for your advise. it really helpful for the parent like me.
You Left Trichy. I Think it is less chance to get it.
IF we don’t go For IT in IIITA ( is it a correct decision)
and IIITH is having separate admission process, Which other 2 colleges I Can Choose.
IS NIT syllabus are all Latest compared to IIIT.
Really appreciate your Service .
Dear Balaji ji,
NIT Trichy is the most competitive one ane sits at the top of the NIT ranking list. If you can get a seat here then it is the best option after IITs.
I would recommend to go for IIITA IT. As it is a very good institute with very good placement record.
The other 2 colleges you can chose as NIT Surat and NIT Durgapur.
NITs syllabus are equally good as IIITs syllabus.
If I choose NIT surathkal to NIT allahabad , is it ok. (it is close to Chennai). please advise
Yes it is absolutely OK. Both are equally good. In ranking table even NIT surathkal comes before NIT Allahabad many a times. Go ahead with NIT Surathkal.
Hi Sidhartha
Request you to share your feedback on International Institute of Technology, Pune vis-a-vis the other institutes in Pune: VIT, PICT, MIT, Bharti Vidyapeeth, D Y Patil, Symbiosis Institute of Technology.
Regards.
Dear Arora ji,
There is no institute named International Institute of Technology in Pune. There is International Institute of Information Technology (I Square IT) in Pune. This institute is kind of OK institute. Not a very great institute according to my opinion. It is generally confused as the sister institutes of other International Institutes of Information Technology in India, which is not true. This also not so good in comparison to the other IIITs. The other institutes which you have mentioned, in comparison to them, this is a similar kind of institute which can be considered as well.
Is there a big difference between CSE and IT. Is MNNIT CSE is better than IIITA IT or other way around. which option I put first.
Similarly NITK IT is better than MNNIT CSE. Please advise
Dear Balaji ji,
Generally CSE is considered better than IT (This is from the point of view of Companies prospective). The course structure of IT is completely software oriented whereas CSE includes few hardware oriented courses like Microprocessors, Computer Organization and Architectures etc. along with the core software oriented courses. But both the specializations have their own pros and cons.
The doubt of choosing between CSE and IT should come into picture when you are choosing between these two branches within the same institute (in case of NITK). This is because while the companies would visit, they would find both CSE and IT students and they might prefer CSE over IT students. But if an institute has only IT branch and it is a good institute (in case of IIITA IT) then you can definitely go for IT in that institute.
I would suggest you the preference order as below:
1. MNNIT CSE
2. IIITA IT
3. NITK IT
With a percantile of 93.5% in MHCET, where do you think we stand in terms of getting a seat in CS/IT in VIT, PICT, MIT, Bharti Vidyapeeth, D Y Patil, Symbiosis Institute of Technology, VJTI.
Not sure if there are more colleges considered to be good in CS/IT. If so please do mention them too.
Many Thanks.
