I got 99.5 percentile in jee mains. Right now studying for jee advance but still for backup which option is the best?

gen male

pvt and govt dono mein achche options batado and is cse or ec possible in govt?

I am a final year mbbs student, who's done with the final year university exams.

I've never liked mbbs at all, and was forced into this field.

I don't see myself doing something clinically and treating patients. Biology is kinda interesting tho.

I'd see myself working in the corporate field, with fixed hours of work. High income doesn't matter to me as long as I have peace.

Doing a bit of research helped me discover this course, and there's not much updated info about it currently on reddit.

So if anyone knows about this branch or future prospects, do kindly help out.

Hey everyone,

I’m considering taking admission in Quantum University for BTech and wanted some honest feedback from people who know about it or are currently studying there.

My profile:

JEE Mains: 76 percentile

Class 12 (CBSE): 80%

Budget: Around 10 lakh total

I’m mainly concerned about:

Placement reality (not just what’s shown on the website)

Crowd quality and competition

Faculty and teaching level

Overall ROI

I know with my percentile I won’t get any decent college, so I’m exploring tier 3 colleges options. But I don’t want to make a bad decision just because of lack of information.

If anyone has studied there or has friends there, please share the real situation — good or bad, I’d really appreciate it.

Also open to better college suggestions in this budget range.

Basically my friend did just that last year taking 30 lakh education loan due to pressure from his dad last year and now his dad is suggesting this to my dad. So did uncle ruin his son life and now trying to ruin mine also or is there any scope in his investment?

Please help me.

Hi everyone,

​I’m a PCB student (dropper) and just got a provisional offer for B.Tech Biotech at Thapar (TIET). My main goal is NEET (May 3rd), and this is my backup plan.

​I need a reality check on a few things:

​ROI vs. High Package: The total cost is hitting ₹30L+. I’m aiming for a high-paying corporate role (10-12+ LPA) right after graduation. Do Biotech students actually get these, or is that mostly for CSE?

​The 'Early' Fee: They want ₹3.24L by April 24th (before NEET). If I don't pay now, what are the chances of getting a seat later via NEET marks? Does Biotech fill up fast?

​Refunds: How smooth is the refund process if I clear NEET and withdraw in July? Do they follow UGC guidelines?

​Skills: I’m planning to learn Python/Data Analytics to pivot into tech/consulting. Is this a common/successful path for Biotech PCB students there?

​I'm torn between securing a 'guaranteed' seat now vs. waiting for NEET results. Any 'insider' advice is appreciated!

Saw a lot of people asking about the NSET and what SST is actually like, so thought I'd put something together. I'll cover the test prep stuff first and then give my honest take on the college. Not going to sugarcoat it.

The NSET basics

It's a 100 mark test, 2 hours, online and proctored. Two sections: Logical Reasoning (45 marks) and Mathematics (55 marks). No MCQs, you type in your answers directly, so that's something to get used to before the actual test.

Your score also feeds into how much scholarship you get, anywhere from 10% to 100% of the fee. So it's not just an entrance test, it genuinely affects how much you end up paying.

Logical Reasoning topics

Series, Blood Relations and Family Tree, Direction Sense, Puzzles, Seating Arrangement, Venn Diagrams, Data Sufficiency, Pie Charts, Bar and Line Graphs, Coding-Decoding, Sets and Caselets, Clocks and Calendars, Syllogism, Simple and Compound Interest, Percentages, Profit and Loss, Speed Time and Distance, Work and Time.

Mathematics topics

Number Theory, Exponentials and Logarithms, Probability and Statistics, Permutation and Combinations, Ratio and Proportion, Sets and Venn Diagrams.

How to actually prep for it

Maths has more marks but don't sleep on LR. Some of those puzzles and seating arrangement questions eat up a lot of time if you're not practiced. Keep your prep balanced.

Since there are no MCQs, you need to be quick at writing out your working and arriving at a clean answer. Practice that specifically, not just solving problems mentally.

Scaler has two sample papers available, do both of them on the same laptop you'll use for the actual test. It helps you spot any browser or system issues beforehand and also just gets you comfortable with the format.

Time is tighter than it looks. 2 hours for 100 marks seems fine but once you get stuck on something it moves fast. Practice with a timer from the start. If something isn't clicking, skip it and come back.

Honest thoughts on SST

I'm currently studying here so this is just based on my experience, take it for what it's worth.

The good stuff: the curriculum is genuinely different from what you'd get at a regular engineering college. We were building drones and working with Vision Pro in our first year itself, that's not a flex, that's just the kind of stuff that's baked into the program. The instructors have actual industry experience, Google, Meta, Microsoft level, and it shows in the way they teach. They're not just going through slides. The infrastructure is solid, the opportunities are real and not just on paper, internships and industry exposure are part of the structure not something you have to go hunting for yourself.

The honest downsides: there's no traditional campus life here. If that's something you were looking forward to, the fests, the hostel madness, just hanging around doing nothing with friends between classes, you won't really find that here. It's a different environment and genuinely not for everyone.

The curriculum being rigorous is both the selling point and the warning. It's a lot. If you're not in the mindset to be consistently pushed, it can get overwhelming.

80% attendance is enforced strictly. For most people it's fine, but if you travel a lot or have health issues or just struggle to show up consistently, it's worth knowing upfront.

Food is average. Not terrible but not something you'll look forward to either. You get used to it.

Fees are high, that's just the truth. The scholarship can make a real difference though, which is why I'd say take the NSET seriously even if you're confident about getting in. Every mark counts toward how much you actually end up paying.

Hope this helps someone who's figuring out whether to give it a shot. Happy to answer stuff in the comments.

Also if you're registering for the NSET, use code DEEP6F37 to save ₹500 on the fee.
