Almost a decade ago, Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed during his monthly discourse that he wants more and more students in India to pursue science and technology as their profession. His sentiments have held true and will continue to hold true for students in India. The importance of scientific education can be expressed in a simple sentence: if we settle for things we already know, progress will inevitably grind to a halt.

With India set to become the 3rd largest economy in a matter of a few years, growth will be premised on students who are focused on innovation, and inquiry in scientific domains. This is because we are witnessing new and emerging technologies coming up continuously, that will require students trained in scientific education to harness them. As we all know, we cannot stop the march of technology.

Therefore, it is important for students to also be cognizant of the type of courses they are considering applying for. This is particularly important for those students considering engineering so that they are aware of the opportunities after pursuing a course. No engineering branch is not future-ready. It is therefore an apt decision for any student to undertake rigorous education in science and engineering because their skillset will be applicable even as technologies evolve. That is why science is and will continue to be fundamental in enabling us to progress as a society.

  • To do well in science and engineering studies, students should remember that they will have to spend a lot of time outside of the classroom to study and explore their interests.

  • To understand more about different careers in STEM, spend time doing your own research by looking at books, articles, and other online sources.

  • Make sure you choose a course you also enjoy because otherwise, chances are high that you will not do well on it.

  • Research and find out what are the pre-requirements for different courses. There may be requirements related to previous education, marks, and acumen.

  • While also preparing yourself for college, it is also a good idea to seek a mentor and to build a relationship with them. A mentor can help you stay on track, and access opportunities outside of college.

  • When choosing a college, look at various factors such as its curriculum, faculty, and teaching methodology. Make sure the curriculum is up-to-date and aligns with industry needs.

  • It is also important to check other factors such as the location of the college, and placement records. The location of a college often determines the quantity of industry interaction opportunities, and placement records should align with your expectations.

Hello aspirant,

In order to prepare for the JEE Main 2026 exam, it is strongly advised that students complete the JEE Main 2025 Question Paper. This will help them comprehend the exam's difficulty level and question kinds. The JEE Main 2026 session 1 test will be administered by NTA from January 21 to 30, while the session 2 exam will take place from April 2 to 9.

To get the previous year question papers, you can visit our site through following link:

With a BC-E category certificate, EWS certificate, and Telangana home-state quota, your chances of getting admission to AIML or related CSE branches in CBIT, VNR VJIET, or similar top private colleges in Telangana depend mainly on your JEE Main percentile and the TS EAMCET counselling process, because these colleges fill seats through both TS EAMCET ranks and JEE Main scores (Category-B seats).

For Category-A seats (through TS EAMCET), JEE Main percentile is not considered. Admission is purely based on your TS EAMCET rank, reservation category, gender, and home-state status. CBIT and VNR are highly competitive, especially for AIML, CSE, and IT branches, so you generally need a very strong TS EAMCET rank (usually within a few thousand for BC-E candidates, sometimes slightly relaxed for girls).

For Category-B seats (JEE Main quota), JEE Main percentile matters. Based on recent trends, to have a realistic chance:

  • For CBIT (AIML / CSE / IT), a JEE Main percentile of around 95+ is usually expected, even for reserved categories, because Category-B seats are limited and competition is high.

  • For VNR VJIET (AIML / CSE / IT), candidates with 92–95 percentile sometimes have chances, depending on availability and the specific branch.

  • If your percentile is below 90, getting AIML or core CSE in CBIT or VNR becomes difficult, but you may still have chances in slightly lower-demand branches (like ECE, EEE, or emerging specialisations) or in other good private colleges affiliated with JNTU or autonomous institutions.

Your BC-E and EWS certificates do help mainly in TS EAMCET counselling (Category-A seats), not significantly in Category-B (JEE Main) admissions, where merit largely dominates. Home-state status is already assumed for these colleges, so there is no extra advantage beyond eligibility.

In summary, if your JEE Main percentile is 95 or above, you can reasonably target AIML/CSE in VNR and possibly CBIT through Category-B. If it is 90–94, VNR or related branches are more realistic than CBIT. Below that, it is better to focus on TS EAMCET performance or consider other reputed Telangana colleges offering AIML. If you want, you can share your exact JEE Main percentile and TS EAMCET rank, and I can give you a more precise college- and branch-wise estimate.
