Entrance Preview :
JEE advance-7600. Jee mains- 173, 12th board- 91.6% cbse. Vitee rank-5600. Thapar university takes admissions based on jee mains scorecard.Since i was stuck in choosing lower branches of iits or computer science in private universities like Thapar, Vit etc. So instead of taking a risk i chose Thapar
