Dear Dakshana scholars,
Congratulations for cracking JEE. First of all I would suggest you to be satisfied with whatever you have achieved. I have few questions here which I feel may be of some use to you. Read them, think about other issues you must consider, speak to seniors and plan your counseling.
Should I select discipline or IIT?
If you love a discipline, you should surely give it higher preference. It is not easy to see others doing courses which you like. You will feel very comfortable with your dream branch even if you get a new IIT. At the same time the culture and trends in a IIT can give you a lot more than just a degree. So choose your IIT carefully, So that you enjoy whole of that 4 years .
Opening and closing ranks.
Please go through the following link to see opening and closing rank in different IITs. For the year 2011. That will give you ideas what branch you can get.

Dual Degree (OR) B.Tech ?
It is good to choose a B.Tech programme rather than Dual degree. But if your rank can’t fetch you a programme in B.Tech and you get that with a dual degree , you should opt for it with understanding the fact that you have to study 5 years and not many people like dual degree.
I am interested in pure science programs. Should I prefer IITs, or IISc, or IISERs?
Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore,followed by those IISERs who have already shifted to their permanent campus. Both IISc and IISERs have extremely flexible programs, where you don't have to decide your major discipline right now. Their curriculum exposes you to all branches of science, not just the discipline you will get a degree in.
Which are good among new IITs?
At present IIT Gandhinagar and Hyderabad are doing very well. It is very clear that they will arise to become good institutions.
Which IIT has the most liberal branch change rules?
As you might be knowing, even after going to IIT there is a possibility of branch change, at the same time it is very difficult to do. So you shouldn’t depend on it. Still, you can see the rules in JEE brochure.
Should I consider geographical location of IIT for choice filling?
Yes, of course; you must feel comfortable with the place. Look even how easily you can get there from your home. But it should not be considered at the cost of branch or IIT.
New IITs or good NITs?
Trere are some NITs(NIT Warangal,Suratkal,Tiruchirapalli,Allahbad,Rourkela) which are better than few existing new IITs . But you should join them only if you feel you won’t get some good branch in IIT.
What are the colleges that admit students based on JEE rank, but are not part of JEE Counseling.
five Indian Institutes of Science, Education and Research (IISERs) at Mohali, Pune, Kolkata, Bhopal, and Thiruvananthapuram, respectively. Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology (RGIPT) at Rai Bareli (UP), and Indian Institute of Maritime Studies (Merchant Navy). LNM Institute of Information Technology (LNMIIT), Jaipur also admits some students based on JEE performance.
Should I try one more year ?
If you have this question , please reconsider it Think about your ability, mental strength, time and parental support.
You may also go to the following link for a better study.

Take as many suggestions as possible, but the final decision should be yours.
You must take suggestion from your parents even if they don’t know anything about JEE counseling. At least explain them whatever you are doing. They will surely give you something which you might have missed.
All the best
