Hello Aspirant,

Given your MET score of 166 and a board exam score of 97.4%, you have a reasonable chance of getting CSE at the Manipal campus, though it will definitely be a little competitive. In the last few years, CSE in Manipal usually has a cutoff of around 170-180+ in MET. However, a high board percentage should help marginally in tiebreakers or merit-based ranking.

Even if you do not get core CSE, there is a fair chance of a related branch like IT or Data Science at Manipal or CSE at the Jaipur or Sikkim campuses. I would watch out after the counselling rounds, cutoffs tend to vary slightly each year.

With a JEE Main EWS rank of 15,500, getting CSE in top NITs or IIITs is unlikely.

You might get CSE in some lower-ranked NITs or newer IIITs, but chances are low.

Better to consider other branches like IT or ECE.

Attend all JoSAA counselling rounds and explore state quota options.

Hi! Since you live in Faridabad, you won’t get the home state quota in JAC counselling because Faridabad is in Haryana, not Jharkhand. With a CRL rank of 3,26,000, it will be very tough to get CSE or CSE with specializations in JAC colleges, as these branches are highly competitive. However, you can try for other branches or private colleges through management quota or explore other states’ counselling. Also, keep backup options ready to increase your chances.

With a 94.43 percentile and an EWS rank of 11,878 in JEE Mains, your son has a fair chance of getting admission to HBUT Kanpur in B.Tech Electronics and Communication. It depends on the competition and the number of seats available. Electronics and Communication is a popular branch, so the cutoff might be a bit high. Still, with his rank and percentile, he should apply and participate in counselling. It’s good to keep some backup options too, just in case.

With a 73.36 percentile and rank around 3,98,570 in JEE Main, getting top government colleges for popular branches may be tough. However, you can look for state engineering colleges or private colleges with low fees. Some good state universities or private colleges offer quality education at affordable fees. You should also explore government quota seats in private colleges through counselling. Check options in your home state and nearby states for better chances. I can help find some colleges if you want!

Dear Aspirant,

With a 93.5 percentile in JEE Mains 2025, being an OBC female candidate and scoring 69 percentile in your Class 12 boards, you meet the eligibility criteria for most engineering colleges, including HBTU Kanpur. However, getting admission into CSE or IT at HBTU is quite competitive, especially since you are not from Uttar Pradesh and will be applying through the All India (AI) quota. The CSE and IT branches at HBTU generally close at higher ranks, often requiring a percentile above 95, especially for outside-state candidates. Given your rank would be approximately 60,000–65,000 in the common rank list (CRL), and your OBC category rank would likely be around 15,000, admission to CSE or IT at HBTU under AI quota seems unlikely. However, there’s still a moderate chance for other core branches or for IT if cutoffs drop in later rounds. Aside from HBTU, you can explore several other options. Some of the newer NITs (like NIT Puducherry, NIT Meghalaya, or NIT Agartala) and IIITs (such as IIIT Bhopal, IIIT Sricity, or IIIT Nagpur) may offer CSE, ECE, or related branches for OBC female candidates in your percentile range, especially in the later rounds of JoSAA or CSAB counselling.

Best Wishes
