Hello sir I have twin daughters One has got 73 in mains Other has 84 in mains With gen-ews 84 is getting computer eng. COE 73 is getting Electronics and communication Both in thapar I should go for Jossa or not...???

Ans: Ishaan Sir, With JEE Main percentiles of 73 and 84 (approximate ranks ~250,000–300,000 and ~160,000–180,000), your daughters’ Thapar University admissions via institutional counseling are feasible: the 84 percentile (Gen-EWS) aligns with Thapar’s 2024 Round 3 cutoff for Computer Engineering (49,823 rank) and the 73 percentile for ECE (51,669 rank). However, Thapar’s Home State (Punjab) cutoffs for these branches are higher (e.g., ECE HS cutoff: 175,946), so confirm their category (OS/HS). Through JoSAA, similar ranks might secure non-CSE branches in newer NITs (e.g., Civil at NIT Mizoram) but with lower placement prospects compared to Thapar’s COE/ECE. Prioritize Thapar if branch preference (COE/ECE) outweighs institutional prestige, as Thapar’s industry ties and internships for these programs often surpass non-CSE NIT options. If NIT brand value is critical, proceed with JoSAA but expect core engineering branches. All the BEST for your Daughters' Admission & a Prosperous Future!

My son is in 11th grade CBSE and for JEE coaching we have opted vedhantu online . Does he need extra coaching for taking up other exams like KCET, COMDEK? Pls advice
Ans: JEE Main preparation covers extensive Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics concepts, but state-level exams like KCET and COMEDK emphasize direct, board-syllabus topics and speed-based MCQs that differ slightly from JEE patterns. COMEDK’s syllabus mirrors JEE Main but features more questions and no negative marking, demanding higher accuracy and time management, while KCET omits several advanced JEE chapters and tests quick recall of Class 11–12 board content. Vedantu’s JEE coaching provides strong conceptual grounding, so supplementing with dedicated COMEDK mock tests and KCET topic-wise practice—focusing on state-syllabus chapters removed from JEE—is advisable. Integrating afternoon sessions for KCET revision and specific COMEDK speed drills alongside JEE training ensures balanced readiness for all three exams without redundant classes. Recommendation: Continue Vedantu’s JEE program and add targeted online practice modules—mock tests and state-syllabus reviews—for KCET and COMEDK rather than enrolling in a full extra coaching course.
