Hi there, if you scored 67 percentile in JEE Main Jan 2020 and are eyeing admission in MAIT or MSIT, here's what you need to know.

MAIT Admission Chances

There are indeed chances that you could get into MAIT with a 67 percentile, especially if you are considering management quota. However, if you are planning to opt for a degree under the management quota, it might be wise to explore other options. There are many IPU (Institute of Professional Studies) colleges that offer good placements, particularly for off-campus placements.

Wait for the Spot Round: Even as you apply, remember to stay patient and not rush the decision. MAIT often has spots available via the spot round, and your chances significantly improve there. Don’t forget to keep an eye on the IPU website for any updates and advice for the spot round. Remember, filling in multiple choices can increase your chances of getting admitted during the spot round.

Decision-Making for ECE and EEE

For the option of ECE or EEE, the probability of admission is relatively lower, but it is still possible. If you're considering applying, I would recommend taking some time to understand the career opportunities in both fields. Explore the internet to get a better idea of the differences in career paths available, as both branches offer unique opportunities.

Career Exploration and Final Decision

Before making a final decision, make sure to dive into detailed research about the career opportunities, job markets, and overall growth in ECE and EEE. Your choice of branch matters significantly in the third year. CSE/IT students generally don't have to learn programming concepts and extra subjects for placements. However, if your primary goal is to pursue a career in ECE or EEE, it would be wise to remain focused on that stream during the spot round.

After the first semester, there is also an option for branch up-gradation, but you need to score above 80 for that. If you didn't manage to get into MAIT through the available rounds, you could still explore BVP (Bhabha Vocational Polytechnic) and MSIT. Both of these colleges, ranking-wise, are among the best in IPU and offer great opportunities for further studies and placements.

Less chance for Gen Category: For General category candidates, the minimum cutoff ranks for any branch in the spot round can be around 7,000 to 9,000, which roughly translates to a 90-93 percentile. Thus, with a 67 percentile, you are unlikely to secure admission in MAIT or even MSIT in general categories. However, do not lose hope; there are still chances through the spot round.

Final Advice: Always stay informed and stay flexible. Keep exploring all your options and wait for the spot round results. Best of luck in your journey!
