How well do Computer Science Engineering students do across colleges? Careers360 analysed the placement performance of one batch of BTech CSE students who graduated from the top engineering colleges, as ranked by the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) in 2024. Data obtained through an RTI application shows that CSE departments across institutions routinely posted the highest – or close to the highest – placement rates in the 2023-24 placement season. The highest of 98 per cent of the registered CSE students secured a job at IIT Jodhpur. With 51.67% per cent, the lowest placement percentage was of IIT Bhilai.
Three top IITs - Delhi, Kanpur and Kharagpur did not share any information about the total students enrolled and so have been omitted from the list of analysis in the graph below. It is based on 2020-21 placement data.

Hello,
Filling in your name as per your Aadhaar card in the JEE Main 2025 application form is correct and generally recommended.
The name on your application form should match your official identification documents like Aadhaar to avoid discrepancies during the verification process at the examination center or for later admissions. Just make sure that the other details (like your father's name, date of birth, etc.) also match your official documents.

Hello,
Yes, it’s possible to join the Indian Army’s intelligence services even if you pursued computer science in classes 11 and 12. Here’s a breakdown of the process and criteria, particularly for civilian students and women:
No JEE Requirement for Army Intelligence Corps : JEE is not required for joining the Army Intelligence Corps. JEE primarily facilitates entry into engineering programs, like at the National Defence Academy (NDA) or technical institutions. Intelligence roles are typically accessed through other Army pathways.
Entry Through UPSC or SSC Examinations : Civilian students can join the Indian Army by clearing the Combined Defence Services (CDS) examination or the Short Service Commission (SSC). Women can apply for SSC, which allows entry into intelligence or other non-combat roles.
Intelligence Corps Eligibility :
Criteria for Girls :
In summary, while computer science knowledge can be beneficial, JEE is not mandatory for entering intelligence. Women can join the Intelligence Corps through SSC routes.

We all know the importance of class 10th and class 12th marksheet. Class 10th is considered like an birth certificate. These certificates play a big role in higher studies and in jobs . During, documents verification, class 12th marksheet is also seen,along with other proofs ,so it might create problems for you as your name would be different in those documents. But don't worry.
If there is a mistake in name's spelling or father or mother name,then CBSE provide correction option to the students. For correction in name in 12th marksheet, you can follow few steps.
Students can take the application form for name correction from the official website of CBSE board.
Fill the application form with correct details.
Submit the required documents like school leaving certificate .
Then you need to deposit some few for correction.
After completing the process, board will make the necessary corrections once the verification of original records of the school is done.
Hello,
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help resolve this issue:
Contact School Authorities : Reach out to your school immediately. Explain the discrepancy in your name between your Aadhaar card and board registration. Schools usually have a process to handle name corrections.
Submit Correction Application : Schools may ask for a written application, so provide one along with proof of your correct name (e.g., Aadhaar card). Request that they initiate the correction in your board records.
Check with Board Office : If needed, contact your state or central board’s regional office directly to understand the procedure and required documents for name corrections.
Update JEE Application : Once the name is corrected in the board records, you may need to update your JEE registration. Check with the National Testing Agency (NTA) helpline on how to proceed.
Stay Calm and Follow Up : Keeping calm and staying proactive with regular follow-ups is essential. This is a common issue, and boards have processes to handle it.
