IIT

At an OBC rank of 2497 in JEE Advanced, it is probable to find many of the best IITs in India where admission might be possible although that differs from year to year depending on the branch's demand.Top IITs and branches to be most likely a part of:IIT Kharagpur: You may expect branches like Civil Engineering or Metallurgical and Materials Engineering.IIT Roorkee: Count on branches like Architecture Production and Industrial Engineering.IIT Bhubaneswar may offer you any of these options Electrical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering.What remains true is that all this will be really based on that cutoff for each of the branches at the time of council, which turns out to be different every year, based on various reasons such as the number of candidates and their performance among others. 

Hi Rupesh,  To seek admission for an M.Sc. course in IITs you would need to fulfill all these general criteria:1. Eligibility Criteria:  -   -You must possess a B.Sc. degree or its equivalent, in a particular subject area. As in the case of M.Sc. in Physics, you have a B.Sc. degree in Physics. Similarly in Chemistry, Mathematics, etc.- All IITs have a *minimum of 55%* marks (or equivalent CGPA) in the bachelor's degree.2. Entrance Exam (JAM):    You will have to take the IIT JAM (Joint Admission Test for M.Sc.) every year. This is a national-level exam conducted to test your knowledge in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biological Sciences.- Admission is based on your *JAM score*, and different IITs have varying cutoffs depending on the course and the number of applicants.3. Application Process-    You need to apply for IITs through the official JAM website and follow the admission process outlined by the respective IITs.Make sure to keep track of the IIT JAM notification and application dates to ensure you don't miss any important deadlines!

The IIT JAM (Joint Admission Test for M.Sc.) syllabus varies by subject. Below is a concise overview:Physics (PH):Mathematical Methods: Vector calculus, matrices, differential equations, probability.Mechanics & Properties of Matter: Newton's laws, rotational motion, elasticity.Oscillations, Waves & Optics: SHM, wave motion, interference, diffraction.Electricity & Magnetism: Electrostatics, AC/DC circuits, electromagnetic waves.Thermodynamics & Kinetic Theory: Laws of thermodynamics, entropy, kinetic theory.Modern Physics: Relativity, photoelectric effect, atomic and nuclear physics.Solid State Physics & Electronics: Crystal structure, semiconductors, diodes.Chemistry (CY):Physical Chemistry: Thermodynamics, quantum chemistry, kinetics.Organic Chemistry: Reaction mechanisms, stereochemistry, biomolecules.Inorganic Chemistry: Periodic trends, coordination compounds, bioinorganic chemistry.Mathematics (MA):Calculus: Limits, continuity, maxima-minima, integrals.Linear Algebra: Matrices, eigenvalues, systems of equations.Differential Equations: First-order and linear equations.Real Analysis: Convergence, series.Probability: Basic concepts, distributions.

Fee structures differ slightly from one IIT to another and course to course, but mostly follow the same pattern. A typical breakdown of fees for a B.Tech programme in most IITs is given below:Tuition Fee: ~ ?2,00,000 - ?2,50,000 per year. Hostel Fee: About ?20,000 - ?25,000 per year (linked to type of accommodation).Other Fees:Caution Deposit: ?1,000 - ?5,000 (Refundable).Library Fee: ?500 - ?2000.Mess Fee: ?15000 - ?25000 per year depending on choice of mess options.Other Miscellaneous Fees: ?5000-?10000 (Which includes medical insurance, students welfare etc.).Normally, together, the said cost for one academic year amounts to something between ?2,50,000 to ?3,00,000.The students from Economically Weaker Section (EWS) might be suitable for some fee waivers or reductions, especially concerning tuition fees.Fee structure concerning M.Tech or any other postgraduate course can be entirely different, and fees also depend on the particular IIT where the student chooses to study. The official website of the respective IIT is the best place to get the utmost accurate and current information.

Yes, you can get admission to IITs or NITs for an M.Tech in Civil Engineering for the 2025 batch, provided you meet the following criteria:GATE Exam: Admission to M.Tech programs in IITs and NITs is primarily based on your GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) score. You need to:Register and prepare for the GATE exam.Aim for a high score, as IITs and top NITs have competitive cutoffs.Eligibility: You must have a bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering or a related field with at least 60% marks or a CGPA of 6.0 on a 10-point scale (criteria may vary for reserved categories).Application Process:Apply for GATE and take the exam in 2025 or 2024 (if results are valid for admission).After GATE results, participate in the COAP (for IITs) or CCMT (for NITs) counseling process.Fill in your preferences for IITs or NITs offering Civil Engineering specializations.Selection: Your admission will depend on your GATE score, preferred institute, and availability of seats in your desired specialization. 

You have the best chance at securing a seat in one of the IITs with a prep rank of 555 in JEE Advance under the ST category. The exact seat availability may differ every year and branch wise but it is generally considered a competitive rank for some of the IITs especially in courses that traditionally have quite low cut offs compared to the top branches like CSE or ECE.Possible IITs and Branches:IIT Roorkee: You are likely to get a seat in the branches of Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering or Metallurgical Engineering.IIT Bhubaneswar: You might get your choice in Mechanical, Civil or Electrical Engineering.IIT Gandhinagar: Most likely, you will have an option for Electrical, Mechanical or Chemical Engineering. IIT Ropar: Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or Civil Engineering could be promising branches for you.IIT Indore: The branches might be Mechanical, Electrical or Civil Engineering. Things to remember:Opening and Closing Ranks: As per the number of seats available and also category-wise rank distribution, the cutoffs change every year.Choice Filling: Fill up a variety of IITs and branches that you are concentrating toward during JoSAA counseling and will maximize the chances of seat possibility.Considering the rank, it is indeed possible to get into one of the IITs but maybe not in such famous branches as CSE.

Getting admission in one of the best IITs like IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Kanpur, etc. for highly sought after branches Computer Science Engineering (CSE) or Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) would not be easy given the SC category rank of 1461 in JEE Advanced. However, quite a number of IITs would surely offer a chance of admission related to several branches.Possible IITs and Branch:IIT Roorkee:With this rank, you would have some chance of getting into branches such as Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or Metallurgical Engineering. IIT Gandhinagar:You will get admission into branches such as Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Chemical Engineering. IIT Bhubaneswar:You may manage to get Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or other branches depending upon the cutoff. IIT Patna:You may have chances in branches like Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, or Chemical Engineering. IIT Ropar:Your rank might land you, maybe, in Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Electrical Engineering. IIT Indore:You might get admission into Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Civil Engineering branches. IIT Jodhpur:You can also choose from different branches like Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Civil Engineering. Other Choices: Not So Much Sought Branches Mean: In such a rank, one would be better off in much less competitive branches like Engineering Physics, Chemical Engineering, or Civil Engineering as compared to highly coveted branches like CSE or ECE.
