I scored 96 percentile in JEE mains and got 60K rank in general list and 18K in OBC-NCL list. I gave MHCET also but I don't think I will score good enough because I did not prepare well. Same for jee advanced also.. I don't have any solid interest in like CS or other branches. Like I have not explored yet. But I certainly like hacking and coding sort of but not sure which college and which branch to choose. Please advice and help
Ans: With a JEE Main OBC-NCL rank of 18,000, you can secure ECE, IT, or allied branches at mid-tier NITs like NIT Durgapur (ECE closing rank: ~23,000) or NIT Agartala (IT cutoff: ~25,000). For cybersecurity/coding interests, target IIITs such as IIITDM Kancheepuram (IoT/ECE cutoff: ~27,634) or IIIT Bhagalpur (CSE cutoff: ~77,139 OBC), which offer niche specializations. If MHCET scores are low, prioritize JoSAA counseling for NITs/IIITs over state exams. Consider CSE/IT at VIT-AP (VITEEE rank-dependent) or SRM Kattankulathur (Software Engineering) via institutional quotas, which provide coding-focused curricula and cybersecurity electives. Explore ECE/IT branches in colleges like NIT Raipur (OBC cutoff: ~55,150) for foundational skills in embedded systems/networking, aligning with hacking prerequisites (Python, Linux). If unsure about core branches, opt for Mathematics & Computing at NIT Rourkela (closing rank: ~9,500) or Integrated M.Sc. programs for flexibility. Supplement academics with certifications (CEH, OSCP) and hackathons to build expertise. Avoid less-structured programs; prioritize institutes with industry tie-ups (Cisco, IBM) for internships in cybersecurity roles. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
