Hello,

Congratulations on your son's success for his excellent performance in 10th standard.Biomedical Engineering is a  growing field that combines engineering principles with medical and biological sciences to improve healthcare technology, such as medical devices, diagnostics, and artificial organs. The future prospects for biomedical engineering are bright, especially with advancements in healthcare, biotechnology,

For admission to VIT Vellore in B.Tech Biomedical Engineering, students need to appear for VITEEE (VIT Engineering Entrance Examination), conducted by the university itself. The exam is usually held in April every year, and the application forms are released around November–December. Since your son has just entered Class 11, he should focus on strengthening his Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) foundation, along with preparation for VITEEE and JEE Main for broader opportunities. Being residents of Mumbai does not affect eligibility; admission is purely based on VITEEE performance for general category students.

Encourage your son to stay consistent in his preparation. Apart from VIT, also keep options open like IITs, NITs (through JEE Advanced/Main) and other reputed private universities that offer biomedical engineering programs.

Wishing your son all the best for his preparation and future career.

With 91.13 percentile in JEE Main and 87.31 in MHT CET (PCM), and OBC-NCL category, your daughter has a good chance to get CS, IT, AI, or ENTC in decent Pune colleges like PCCOE, AISSMS, DY Patil Akurdi, or JSPM. Apply through both JEE and MHT CET CAP rounds.

With a rank of 1229 in OBC category, getting CSE at BIT Durg is unlikely as past cutoffs were much lower. However, the IT branch at BIT Durg is good with decent placements and can be a good alternative.

Hey! Since you’ve got 89 percentile in JEE Mains and 86 percentile in MHT-CET, and you belong to the OBC category, you do have some good options in both state and central colleges.

With your JEE percentile, getting into top NITs or IIITs might be difficult for CSE or core branches, but you might still get lower-demand branches in newer NITs or other institutes through the JoSAA counselling, especially if you include all rounds and choices carefully.

As for MHT-CET, 86 percentile is quite decent, especially for OBC category. In state counselling (CAP rounds), you could have a good chance in government or aided engineering colleges in Maharashtra, especially for branches like IT, ENTC, Electrical, or Mechanical. For CSE in top Mumbai or Pune colleges, cutoffs might be tighter, but you can still aim for mid-tier colleges where the closing ranks are higher.

Also, don’t forget to apply through both JEE and CET counselling, and fill in as many choices as possible to keep your options open.
