I am a student who has just passed 12th standard and looking for admission in private university for btech cse . I gave many entrance exams like viteee aeee met comed k siteee cucet and upes entrance test . I did not score that much in most of the exams to be able to secure a seat for btech cse because of high demand and limited seats . I have got a rank of 1,68,000 in viteee should I apply for counselling and select my first preference as vit bhopal cse during choice filling? I have got btech cse with data science in amrita vishwa vidyapeetham faridabad and ece in Bangalore campus . Got btech cse with ai ml in chandigarh university and upes as well but upes has a very high fee of about 30 lakhs for 4 years including hostel . Scored 60/180 in comed k . I also thought about manipal jaipur but that requires 70% in pcm for btech cse and 60% for other branches I also considered colleges of noida and greater noida like bennet university because some of my seniors are already studying over there but I got to know from them that the environment there is not that serious for academics and all and they mostly spend their time in other stuff so I thought not to consider that college further . I am a bit confused and tensed and need some genuine advice . Please tell me what should be my further course of action.
Ans: You can look at the colleges where you have secured admission for cse (domain you are interested in) and evaluate. You mentioned you got admission to Amrita, so can look at that option. Last option would be to do BSc in Computers or AI and pursue your career accordingly.

Hi I joined Wipro in 2019 just after my graduation through campus placement. From then I had in my mind that I will do an MBA from a good college. as I thought I will be better in non technical things and management roles. I was not an IT guy at heart. Just an average guy with 6.62 CGPA from Amity University. I was in 3 projects in Wipro. 1st was incident management, 2nd was Application Testing(Automation tester) and 3rd was Big Data development. (Big Data Developer) I wanted to leave wipro after 3 years but my family members told me not to do so and keep trying for a good project in the organisation. Everyone advised me not to leave the organization or search for another IT job. I tried but did not get a good project in Wipro. I also tried for post of Data Developer in other companies but was not able to do so. Then I left Wipro in June, 2023 so that I can crack CAT in November 2023. I also joined coaching for the same. BUT was able to score only 49 % in CAT and 79% in XAT. Again I tried again in Cat 2024. This time i was doing self study only for CAT. Meanwhile i was also asked by my family to prepare for government bank exams. I also joined MAHENDRAS for that. My brothers marriage was scheduled in the month of November. I was able to score 88.69% in CAT 2024 and 61% in XAT. Should I give another try for CAT because i think I can still crack more than 99%. I know it. and also they are many 28yrs + people at IIMs OR am I too old for MBA and should not try more?? Year of birth - 1997. 10th -89.33%(2013) 12th-83.00%(2015) Grad- 6.62 CGPA (2015-2019,Btech CSE) Exp-3 yrs 10 months in WIPRO( July 2019 to June 2023) Kindly guide me in this matter. I am a little bit confused .
Ans: If you have not got admission to a good college you can give another attempt. I had a student this year who passed his graduation in 2018 and had work ex of 2 years and gap of 4 years - managed to get into top 8 IIMs with a 97%ile. But it is recommended to write CAT exam while doing a job as you already have 2 years of gap.
