Hello
Not eligible for the general quota at VIT Pune with 62 percentile.
You could explore management quota (but fees will be steep).
Consider improving your score and reattempting JEE, or apply to other colleges with lower cutoffs.

With a JEE Main rank of 145213 under the general category your chances of getting admission at College of Technology Pantnagar are very slim compared to required cutoffs In 2024 for Outside Home State general category the closing rank for Computer Engineering at Pantnagar was 74526 and for Information Technology it was 70441 This means your rank is almost double the closing cutoffs for these branches As pantnagar follows JEE Main counselling through UTU your rank will likely not fetch a seat in top branches like CSE IT or ECE You could consider looking at less preferred branches or applying under Home State quota if you are domiciled in Uttarakhand but if you are from another state your chances remain low To improve your admission prospects you may explore other colleges with higher closing ranks or consider retaking JEE Main for a better rank
With 86 percentile in JEE Mains, you can get AI branch in these Pune colleges:
1. Ajeenkya DY Patil University – High chance
2. MMCOE (Marathwada Mitra Mandal COE) – Moderate chance
3. PES Modern COE (MCOE) – Borderline chance
4. PVGCOET – Moderate chance
With 80 percentile in JEE Main , you may not qualify for top-tier national scholarships , but you can still explore state-level schemes , private university scholarships , and college-specific concessions .
If your son’s first preference is CSE, then Amrita Bangalore clearly leads among the three, simply because CSE opens more doors in terms of placements, internships, and future-proof careers. Amrita is also NAAC A++ and has a strong reputation, especially for CSE. Category 2 is also manageable fee-wise compared to higher categories.
VIT Chennai is a decent campus, and their ECE program is solid, but Category 5 means much higher fees and very low chance of branch upgrade later. CSE at VIT Chennai would have been more competitive here — but ECE at that fee tier is not as strong a deal unless your son has a strong interest in core electronics.
Manipal Bangalore (MIT Bengaluru campus) is a newer campus. ECE there is still developing in terms of placements and faculty compared to the main Manipal campus. Unless your son strongly prefers Bangalore or is getting some advantage here like scholarships or internship access, it doesn't stand out above Amrita.
So, recommendation: Go with Amrita Bangalore CSE (Category 2). It balances a strong branch with a decent campus and better long-term potential in the tech industry. If your son is open to core electronics and you’re okay with the higher cost, VIT Chennai is fine, but still comes second to CSE at Amrita.
All the best!
OJEE uses your JEE Main All India Common Rank CRL for admissions in BTech BArch BPlan BPharm and Integrated MSc MBA. Category rank is not used just your overall CRL with tiebreakers if needed.
Absolutely, your son still has options. Even with a 54 percentile in JEE Mains and not appearing for WBJEE, he can still get admission into a B.Tech CSE program, especially through private universities or colleges that offer direct admission or accept JEE scores with no specific cutoff.
Since his 12th board marks are strong at 91%, many private engineering colleges across India — and especially in West Bengal, Odisha, Karnataka, Maharashtra, and even some deemed universities — offer admissions based on board merit or low JEE scores. Some of these colleges conduct their own counselling or may have institutional quota seats for students who haven’t cleared WBJEE or scored high in JEE.
For example, colleges like UEM Kolkata, Brainware University, Seacom, Sister Nivedita University, and some AICTE-approved private colleges in West Bengal may admit him through management or general counselling with his 12th marks and JEE percentile. If you're open to colleges in other states, options expand further — institutes like Reva University, Ajeenkya DY Patil, Lovely Professional University, and many others allow direct B.Tech admission.
For the JEE Main 2025–26 academic year, the syllabus has been rationalised in line with NCERT textbook changes. So yes, certain topics have been officially deleted and won't be asked in the exam.
In Physics, topics like communication systems, some detailed portions of thermodynamics (like the Carnot engine), and advanced concepts in waves, Doppler effect, and resonance have been removed. A few parts of kinematics involving vector products have also been taken out.
In Chemistry, chapters like surface chemistry, environmental chemistry, polymers, chemistry in everyday life, hydrogen, s-block elements, and metallurgy (extraction of metals) have been deleted. Some atomic structure and gas laws sections were trimmed too.
In Mathematics, topics such as mathematical reasoning, statistics, some parts of vector algebra and 3D geometry, principle of mathematical induction, and certain portions of the binomial theorem have been dropped.
If you're preparing for JEE, it's a smart move to stick to the updated NCERT textbooks and official NTA syllabus.
Hello Aspirant,
Haryana State Technical Education Society (HSTES) counseling typically considers the reserved category rank (SC rank) when providing the allotment of seats in that reserved category; for instance, SC reserved category candidates usually will be allotted a seat in the SC category based on their SC rank of 1,36,957, not their CRL (Common Rank List) rank. For example, for general/open category seats, the CRL rank will be considered. It is essential to upload valid category certificates. Please follow the instructions for counseling carefully.
