JEE

If you have made the decision of studying chemical engineering then ICT Mumbai would be the best option you could have. ICT  have an edge due to its specialised focus.ICT mumbai is way better than NIT Trichy for chemical engineering on most of the parameters if you are truly interested in chemical engineering . ICT has way better exposure and research than NIT Trichy .Professors will mostly be better at ICT mumbai. NIT Trichy is better for CSE IT related branches .Remember that ICT is an institution which specializes in chemical engineering and technology as it's name suggests .Go for it only if you are whole heartedly interested in chemical engineering .Do take an informed decision.

There is no direct admission to the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Patna without the required national-level entrance exam scores:  B. Tech: Admission is based on JEE Main scores. To be eligible, you must have passed 12th grade with Physics and Mathematics as required subjects, and Chemistry/Biology/Biotechnology as an optional subject. You must also have at least 75% aggregate.  B. Arch: Admission is based on NATA exam scores.  M. Tech and MURP: Admission is based on GATE exam scores. Candidates from outside India can apply for these courses through Direct Admission of Students from Abroad (DASA). 

You might find it tough getting admission into the B. Tech IT program at Dwarkadas J. Sanghvi College of Engineering with an 89 percentile in the JEE since an expected cutoff for IT can be generally around 96 percentile or more for general category students.Since you are applying under the Gujarati quota, which reserves 51% of the seats for Gujarati linguistic minority candidates, your chances might improve. The cutoff tends to be lower for Gujarati candidates, but the competition is not that weak. It would be advisable to look into the trends of the specific cutoffs for the current admission cycle and participate in the Maharashtra CAP counseling process for better insights.

Based on his 83 percentile in JEE Mains and a 59% in his PUC (Pre-University Course), it would look difficult to get admission in any top NITs or IIITs because they generally have very high cut-offs for admission. Considering this percentile and also if he is under the General category, there is still a chance to get into some new NITs or IIITs or to get to branches that have a little lesser preference.Here are few options: Newer NITs like NIT Goa, NIT Nagaland, NIT Meghalaya, NIT Puducherry would have lower cutoffs.IIITs like IIIT Sri City, IIIT Kalyani, or IIIT Dharwad could offer opportunities depending on the branch.Consider less competitive branches such as Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or Biotechnology at these institutes.Moreover, reservation based on categories (OBC, SC, ST, etc.) would certainly enhance the chances. So, you always stay updated with the cycle of JoSAA counselling regarding cutoff trends.

A 92 percentile in JEE Mains can barely help you enter into an NIT, formulating a sweet proportion for' computer Science and electrical engineering branches. Well, there are still chances that you might get into some NITs and branches, even though they may be slightly messy in cutoffs or have lower openings with new institutions.To improve your chances:You aim for the new NITs or the ones with low cutoffs.You can consider branches like Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or Biotechnology, which have lower cut-offs as compared to core branches such as CSE or ECE. The final allocation of seats shall depend on your category of General, OBC, SC, etc., the opening and closing ranks and the NITs that you would be targeting. Keep watching the JoSAA counselling process to get the latest and most accurate information.

With an overall rank of 139,000 and an EWS (Economically Weaker Section) rank of 29,000 in JEE Mains, most branches at IITs, NITs, and IIITs will not be open. However, you may have some chances of admission to different NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs (Government Funded Technical Institutes) through JoSAA in branches that are comparatively less in demand.Here are a few things you can do:1. National Institutes of Technology (NITs): The top branches like Computer Science and Engineering or Electrical Engineering will be tough, but you can hope for a few from the following:Civil Engineering Environmental EngineeringMechanical EngineeringChemical EngineeringMetallurgical Engineering Some NITs which you can opt for are:NIT Jamshedpur NIT Patna NIT Srinagar NIT Raipur NIT HamirpurNIT Agartala 2. Indian Institutes of Information Technology (IIITs) The popular branches, most likely Computer Science, have stiff competition but you might go for the following possible branches:Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) Information TechnologyArtificial Intelligence Some of the IIITs you may look for are:IIITDM Jabalpur IIIT Allahabad (may be a bit tough with competition) IIIT KalyaniIIIT Pune 3. Government Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs) There are GFTIs as well places with lesser competition. You can think of going through branches like: Civil Engineering Electrical Engineering Mechanical Engineering Some of the GFTIs you may think of are: Assam University, Silchar Bengal Engineering and Science University (BESU), Shibpur Indraprastha Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi Sikkim University. 4. Additional InfluencesFlexibility of Branch: It is more probable for you to gain admission if you branch into a less choice engineering branch.Round-wise Cut-off: Keep in mind that JOSAA does not fix cutoffs for rounds; the cutoffs fall in later rounds. So, not getting into the first round can be worth checking in later rounds.State Quota: If you are availing the state quota, then having a state quota could bring more chances in an NIT or GFTIs even at a lower cutoff for such a candidate's home state.Thus, your chances of admission to NITs, IIITs, and GFTIs get brighter with an EWS rank of 29,000 in branches like Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, or other not-so-popular ones. Check the counselling rounds going on at JoSAA to see how you can grab it.
