Engineering Entrance Exam

No, you cannot replace your computer Science marks with physical education marks to fulfill the eligibility criteria for JEE. The basic eligibility criteria for JEE is to pass the Class 12 examination from a recognised board or equivalent. The marks required for eligibility vary across programs and universities. Here are some other eligibility criteria for JEE:To appear for JEE Main, you must have passed the Class 12/equivalent examination in 2022, 2023, or be appearing in the Class 12/equivalent examination in 2024. To get admission to IIT, NIT, IIITs and some premium colleges, you must have a minimum of 75% marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. The minimum marks in JEE Advanced will vary from year to year. The 75% mark requirement is applicable to all categories of candidates, including general, SC/ST, and PwD candidates. 

Several private engineering colleges in India offer direct second-year admission to engineering programs based on your 12th-grade marks, without requiring an entrance exam, including: SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT), Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), Amity University, JSS Academy of Technical Education, Chandigarh University, and Sharda University; however, specific eligibility criteria and available seats might vary depending on the college and program. Key points to remember:Admission criteria:Most colleges offering direct second-year admission will primarily consider your 12th-grade marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, with a high percentage often required. Management quota:Many private colleges might have a "management quota" where a limited number of seats are available for direct admission based on merit or other factors. 

Yes, you are eligible to appear for VITEEE 2025 even though you passed your Class 12th in 2023. The eligibility criteria for VITEEE typically require candidates to have passed their 12th exam in the previous two academic years (which includes 2023 for you). As long as you meet other basic criteria such as:Having a minimum of 60% in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (or Biology for B.Tech in Bio-engineering) in your Class 12th.You should be born on or after July 1, 2003.Since you're currently preparing for JEE, you can easily prepare for VITEEE as well because the syllabus for both exams has a lot of overlap, particularly in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics. 

With a 66.6 percentile in JEE Mains, securing admission to the Computer Science Engineering (CSE) branch at top NITs may be challenging, as the cutoff for CSE is usually quite high. However, there are still some options:Lower NITs or IIITs: While the top NITs like NIT Trichy, NIT Warangal, or NIT Calicut generally require a higher percentile (around 90+), you may have a chance at newer or lower-ranked NITs where the cutoff could be lower.Branch Flexibility: You might consider exploring other branches of engineering at these NITs, as CSE is highly competitive. Branches like Mechanical or Civil could have a relatively lower cutoff.Home State Quota: If you belong to the home state of any NIT, you may have an advantage in terms of cutoff. 

With a 93.55 percentile in JEE Mains and 96.7 percentile in MHT CET, you have good chances of securing admission in reputed colleges. Here's an overview of what you can expect:JEE MainsNITs and IIITs:You may secure a seat in newer or lower-ranked NITs and IIITs, depending on your category and branch preference.Popular branches like CSE or ECE might be competitive, but you could explore core or emerging branches like Mechanical, Civil, or Biotechnology.State Engineering Colleges:Many state-level government and private engineering colleges accept JEE Main scores.MHT CETTop Colleges in Maharashtra:With 96.7 percentile, you have excellent chances of admission to reputed institutions like VJTI, COEP, and SPIT for branches like Mechanical, Electrical, or IT, depending on category cutoffs.Popular private colleges like MIT Pune, Vishwakarma Institute of Technology, and PCCOE also fall within reach for competitive branches. 

After the declaration of JEE Mains results, the admission process for NIT Calicut is as follows: JoSAA CounsellingQualified candidates register on the JoSAA website and participate in the online counselling process. During the counselling, candidates select their preferred colleges and courses from the list of NITs.Seat allotmentCandidates are selected for admission based on their JEE Main rank and the choices they make during the counselling process.Admission confirmationCandidates must complete the admission process by verifying their documents and paying the course fee.Here are some other admission processes for NIT Calicut:MTech: Admission is through GATE, followed by CCMT Counselling. MSc: Admission is through IIT JAM and CCMN Counselling. MBA: Admission is based on the CAT score, followed by a personal interview.
