Hello,

Yes, you may be able to continue your diploma and clear your backlog subjects, but it depends on the rules of your education board or university . Here’s what you can do:

1. Check the Time Limit – Many diploma courses have a maximum duration to complete, usually double the regular course length (e.g., 6 years for a 3-year diploma).

2. Contact the Institution – Visit or contact your polytechnic college to confirm if you are eligible to clear backlogs.

3. University/Board Rules – Different states and technical education boards have different regulations on reappearing for old backlogs.

4. Re-admission Option – If the backlog clearing period has expired, you may need to re-enroll in the course.

5. External/Private Exams – Some universities allow external students to clear backlogs; verify with your education board.

6. Apply for Exams – If eligible, register for backlog exams during the next available session.

7. Consider Alternative Options – If not allowed, explore lateral entry into a related diploma or certification program.

Contact your state’s technical education board or AICTE-approved institutions for the exact process.

Hello,

With an 88 percentile in the JEE Main exam and belonging to the SC category from Karnataka, your chances of securing a Computer Science Engineering (CSE) seat in NITs, IIITs, or GFTIs are as follows:

• NITs :

  • Top NITs like NIT Trichy or NIT Surathkal have higher cutoffs for CSE. For instance, in 2024, the closing rank for SC category in CSE at NIT Trichy was around 1,171.
  • With an 88 percentile, your rank might be higher than these cutoffs, making it challenging to secure a CSE seat in top NITs.

• IIITs :

  • IIITs also have competitive cutoffs for CSE. For example, IIITM Gwalior had a closing rank of 11,494 in 2024, making it highly competitive.
  • Your current percentile may not meet the typical cutoffs for CSE in top IIITs.

• GFTIs :

  • GFTIs generally have higher closing ranks compared to NITs and IIITs, providing a more accessible option.
  • You may have a better chance of securing a CSE seat in GFTIs with your current percentile.

Wishing you the best !

Hello,

A B.Tech in Material Management is not commonly offered as a standalone program, but you can pursue B.Tech in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Production & Supply Chain Management, which cover material management concepts. Some institutes offer specialized MBA or PG diplomas in Material Management after B.Tech. Consider colleges like IITs, NITs, and private universities offering related courses. Check eligibility and entrance exams like JEE Main for admission.

Hope this helps you,

Thank you
