There is no such branch as IT in YMCA. You will have to select the CS branch in YMCA and for that, you will have to score a rank of 200 in AIEE which will be difficult for you. And if you can score the rank then you can easily crack IIT and move to other good colleges.
Students at the YMCA in Faridabad are excellent. Many students in the top branches have AIRs that are less than 10000.
