HEY THERE!!!

Both options - Chemical Engineering from IIT Guwahati and Mechanical Engineering from IIT Hyderabad are strong choices, but they differ in academic focus, campus culture, and placement outcomes.

IIT Guwahati Chemical Engineering:

• This IIT has been around longer
• Its graduates form a strong network leading to good job offers
• Life on campus tends to be more settled

IIT Hyderabad Mechanical Engineering:

• This IIT is newer but growing fast
• It has a modern campus and teaches in new ways
• Mechanical grads earn more on average (INR 18.7 LPA), but fewer get jobs (53.7%)

1. Go for IIT Hyderabad Mechanical if you like machines and want a new-age campus.
2. Pick IIT Guwahati Chemical if you want a time-tested IIT and enjoy studying chemicals.
3. You can't go wrong with either; just think about what you want to study and where you'd like to live!

With a JEE Advanced rank of 20,340, your son can likely get admission in newer IITs like IIT Bhubaneswar, Gandhinagar, Ropar, Mandi, Indore, Patna, or Jodhpur, mostly in less competitive branches.

Top IITs and popular branches like CS or ECE are unlikely.

HEY THERE!!!

1. With a Preparatory ST rank of 228 in JEE Advanced 2025, realistically, your prospects for securing admission to core branches such as Mechanical, Civil, or Electrical Engineering at established IITs are quite slim .
2. Historically, ST category seats for these core disciplines are filled by candidates with much lower ranks, often under 100.
3. Preparatory ranks are only considered if there are vacancies after all eligible ST candidates have been allotted seats, which is uncommon—especially for high-demand branches.
4. Typically, these opportunities arise in newer or less sought-after IITs and in branches that aren’t as competitive.

• In summary, while admission to Mechanical, Civil, or Electrical at the older IITs is highly unlikely with your current preparatory rank, you may find options in non-core branches or at recently established IITs .
• It’s important to keep expectations realistic and consider alternative branches or institutions.

Hello,

With a JEE Advanced rank of 3878 in the female category, your chances of getting Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) at an IIT depend on the specific IIT and its previous year cutoffs.

Usually, for general female category (also called female-open or female-general), ECE cutoffs in older IITs like Bombay, Delhi, Kanpur, and Madras are quite high, often within the top 2000-3000 ranks.

For your rank around 3878, you might have a chance at newer or mid-tier IITs like IIT Bhubaneswar, IIT Gandhinagar, IIT Hyderabad, IIT Patna, IIT Ropar, or IIT Indore, where the ECE cutoff for female candidates has sometimes gone beyond 3500 or 4000 in recent years.

So, based on past trends, Electronics in top older IITs may be tough, but in newer IITs, you have a reasonable chance.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

Yes, If you work hard and study regularly, you can definitely crack JEE Main and JEE Advanced.

IIT Madras is tough, but many students from state boards have made it with good preparation. Focus on understanding concepts well, practice lots of questions, and solve previous years’ papers.

Also, try to join a good coaching or online classes if possible. Believe in yourself and stay consistent. You have a good chance!

Hope it helps !

Hello Yash Goyal,

First of all, Congratulations for this great achievement , You have done great in advance (with having 99 Percentile score among 1.1 million candidates) . With an EWS rank of 5874 in JEE Advanced, you can likely aim for top level IIT's, NIT's or State level colleges. This range of institutions could offer opportunities in fields like computer science, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering, among others. Below I have mentioned best options that you should choose at your rank,

• IIT Kanpur - civil engineering
• IIT Kharagpur -  economics, civil, chemical, mechanical (dual)
• IIT Madras - civil, aerospace (dual)
• IIT Roorkee - Civil, chemical, economics (5 year)

And many more. You can check out the below mentioned link for further more colleges,

My opinion,

1. Don't think on about new IIT's (unless u are interested in a particular branch)
2. Old IIT any day
3. Choose according to your preference (branch or college/stay near or far from home)

Hope this will help you.

Congrats on your PREP ST rank 228 in JEE Advanced 2025! With such a good rank in the preparatory category, you have a strong chance to get a preparatory course seat in IITs. The preparatory course helps you join core branches like Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, or Computer Science after one year based on your performance. IITs like IIT Madras, IIT Kharagpur, or IIT Roorkee may offer you a seat. Stay confident and apply carefully during counseling!

Hello! Scoring 79 marks in JEE Advanced is a good effort, but qualifying depends on the category and the cutoff for that year. Usually, the cutoff marks vary for different categories like General, OBC, SC, ST, etc. If your son belongs to a reserved category, he might qualify. It’s best to check the official JEE Advanced cutoff list for 2025 on the official website to confirm. Keep supporting him, and good luck!
