Dear Student,
With a 95 percentile in JEE Main 2024 and a CBSE (MP Board) background from Indore, you have strong opportunities for Computer Science (CS), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Data Science, and Electronics & Telecommunication (E&T) across NITs, IIITs, and top private institutions. For NITs, your percentile makes you competitive for E&T at NIT Surathkal, Trichy, or Warangal, though CS may require a higher percentile (98+). IIITs like IIIT Bangalore, Allahabad, or Pune offer excellent programs in AI/Data Science, with some flexibility in cutoffs for allied branches. If you prefer private colleges, VIT Vellore, SRM Chennai, or Manipal MIT provide direct admission for CS/AI with your score, while BITS Pilani (via BITSAT) could be an option for ECE. For local MP options, IIITM Gwalior (state quota) or DAVV Indore are worth considering.
