Your intermediate marks (81% first year, 74.8% second year) meet the minimum eligibility criteria for JoSAA counseling, which usually requires at least 75% in 12th or equivalent. So yes, you are eligible to participate in JoSAA counseling for IITs. Make sure to register on the official JoSAA website and choose your preferred colleges and branches carefully. Good luck!

Congrats on your JEE Advanced rank 11,800 in OBC-NCL! With this rank, you have a good chance to get admission in newer IITs like IIT Bhubaneswar, IIT Ropar, IIT Jodhpur, or IIT Mandi. You may get core branches like Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, or even Computer Science depending on seat availability. Prepare well for JoSAA counseling, choose your preferences wisely, and keep backup options ready. Stay positive and all the best for your IIT journey!

Yes, you can join IIT after JEE Advanced if you meet the minimum eligibility criteria for 12th marks. Usually, you need at least 75% overall in Intermediate or equivalent (or be in the top 20 percentile in your board). Your 1st-year marks are 89% and 2nd-year marks are 74.83%, which average around 80.9%, so you meet the eligibility. Just make sure your JEE Advanced rank is good enough, and then participate in JoSAA counseling to get your IIT seat. Good luck!

Hello Bhuvan,

This is a personal decision based on a few important components:

1. Goal Clarity: If IIT Bombay is your dream school and you feel you can prepare for the next iteration of JEE Advanced, dropping a year to study for JEE Advanced is a reasonable option. A dedicated and focused drop year has helped many students achieve great scores on JEE Advanced, and the top ranks.
2. Current Opportunity: NIT Surathkal is one of the top NITs with opportunities for excellent placements, research opportunities, and the opportunity for interactions with top companies - especially for ECE/EEE. After that, with good academics, you can potentially earn your way into top M.Tech programs like MIT, Stanford, or IITs via GATE or GRE.
3. Risk vs Reward: Dropping a year has a risk component: mental and academic risk. Think about whether you can handle that level of pressure and if your performance at JEE Advanced can improve with one more year of preparation.
4. Ambition for MIT M.Tech: For M.Tech, you don't need an IIT degree to get into MIT. Strong research and projects, GRE scores, and thoughtful and compelling YES at SOP matter more than an IIT degree. Many students from top NITs get into MIT and other institutions throughout the world.

Hello there,

For JEE Advanced, the syllabus for B.Tech and B.Arch students is largely the same in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, but B.Arch candidates also have an additional section on Aptitude and Drawing.

Topics likely to be asked:

• Physics: Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, Optics, Modern Physics, Thermodynamics

• Chemistry: Physical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry

• Mathematics: Algebra, Calculus, Coordinate Geometry, Trigonometry, Vector and 3D Geometry

• Aptitude (for B.Arch): Visualization skills, 3D perception, Architectural awareness

• Drawing (for B.Arch): Drawing and sketching related to architecture and building forms

Preparation tips:

1. Master NCERT textbooks thoroughly as a base.

2. Solve previous years’ JEE Advanced papers and mock tests.

3. Focus on problem-solving speed and accuracy.

4. For B.Arch, practice drawing and aptitude tests regularly.

5. Time management and conceptual clarity are key.

6. Join coaching or online courses if needed, especially for drawing and aptitude.

In summary, the core syllabus for Physics, Chemistry, and Maths is the same for both B.Tech and B.Arch, but B.Arch has additional Aptitude and Drawing sections in JEE Advanced. Prepare accordingly.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
