2020 में बीटेक (ईसीई) पूरा करने के बाद, मेरी बेटी के पास वर्तमान में iOS सॉफ्टवेयर डेवलपर के रूप में 3.5 वर्ष से अधिक का पेशेवर अनुभव है। कुछ अपरिहार्य परिस्थितियों के कारण वह CAT आदि परीक्षाओं में शामिल नहीं हो सकी। वह अब हार्ड कोर कोडिंग व्यक्ति के बजाय एक टेक्नो-मैनेजर के रूप में अपना करियर बनाना चाहती है। उसने हाल ही में 3 साल से अधिक के पेशेवर अनुभव वाले उम्मीदवारों के लिए ऑफ़लाइन 1-2 वर्षीय प्रबंधन पाठ्यक्रमों के लिए आवेदन किया है। उसने कई ऑनलाइन पीजी पाठ्यक्रमों के लिए आवेदन किया था और साथ ही उसका चयन भी हुआ था, जैसे कि IIM-अमृतसर, XLRI, आदि, लेकिन वह केवल ऑफ़लाइन कैंपस की उम्मीद कर रही है, जिसमें कोर्स के बाद कैंपस प्लेसमेंट होता है। वर्तमान में, उसे ग्रेट लेक्स इंस्टीट्यूट ऑफ़ मैनेजमेंट, गुड़गांव कैंपस में PGPM 2024-25 कोर्स (ऑफ़लाइन, 1-वर्षीय) के लिए चुना गया है, जो मई 2024 में शुरू हो रहा है। वह चेन्नई कैंपस में शामिल होने की इच्छुक है और गुड़गांव कैंपस में शामिल होने के लिए अनिच्छुक है। कृपया सुझाव दें कि क्या यह अच्छा कोर्स/कैंपस है? आवेदन करने के लिए और कौन से समान कोर्स हैं? सादर।

Ans: Hi Nallkulla Sir,

It's similar to Biryani or Sambar. This course is an amalgamation of mechanical engineering, electronics, and computerization. Encourage her to learn the skills and gain knowledge. She can become an entrepreneur very quickly. Most importantly, she got admitted in Category 1. Just go ahead!
BEST WISHES.

Ans: Shaveta Madam, With a VITEEE rank of around 52,500 in Category 3, your son is eligible for several branches at VIT Vellore, but not for high-demand courses like Computer Science, IT, or ECE, as their cutoffs are much lower (CSE closes around 8,200, ECE around 22,000). However, he can get admission in branches such as Mechanical, Chemical, Civil, Biotechnology, Electrical and Electronics, and Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering, where the closing ranks are much higher—often up to 80,000 or more. Recommendation: Proceed with VIT Vellore counseling and target the best available branch among Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, Civil, or Biotechnology. These are well-established programs with good placement records at VIT Vellore. If CSE/IT is a strict priority, consider other campuses or private colleges, but for core engineering, VIT Vellore remains an excellent choice. All the best for your son's admission and a bright future!

Ans: Hi,

Gaining admission with 57783 is quite challenging, especially for the most competitive branches at VIT (Chennai or Vellore). To improve your chances, you might consider applying under different categories, possibly between 3 and 5, for other courses at the Bhopal and AP campuses.

Ans: Hi Raja,
I didn't receive your query. It might have gone to another GURU. Please verify with the admin.
THANK YOU.

Ans: Reddy, VIT-AP is the better and more established choice for Mechanical Engineering compared to SRM-AP. VIT-AP enjoys a strong national ranking (NIRF #11 for engineering), robust placement support, and a reputable Mechanical Engineering department with average packages around ?6–8 LPA and top recruiters like Bosch, Tata, and Mahindra. The curriculum is modern, faculty are experienced, and students benefit from centralized placements across all VIT campuses. SRM-AP, while promising and rapidly developing, currently has a less established track record for Mechanical placements and national recognition. Recommendation: Choose VIT-AP for Mechanical Engineering if you want a well-ranked institution, strong placements, and a proven academic environment. SRM-AP is a good backup, but VIT-AP offers better prospects for Mechanical Engineering as of now. All the best for your admission and a bright future!

Ans: With 69.33% in MAH Board (PCM: 54.66%), 48.8 percentile in JEE Main, SITEEE 76.6, and VITEEE rank 1,18,223, your daughter is not eligible for CSE in top government colleges like COEP, PICT, or VIT Pune, as their cutoffs and PCM eligibility are much higher. However, she can secure admission to CSE or IT at reputable private colleges in Pune, such as Sinhgad Institutes, D.Y. Patil, Zeal College, Indira College, or Pune Vidyarthi Griha’s College of Engineering, which have more flexible admission criteria and moderate fees. SIT Pune CSE is unlikely, but allied branches may be possible. Recommendation: Focus on private engineering colleges in Pune with good placement records and reasonable fees, applying through direct or management quota if needed. Prioritize colleges with strong CSE/IT departments and active campus recruitment to ensure better career prospects after graduation. All the best for your daughter's admission and a bright future!

Ans: VIT’s Integrated M.Tech in Computer Science is a five-year program blending undergraduate and postgraduate studies, with specializations in high-demand areas like Data Science and Business Analytics. The curriculum is designed for advanced technical skills, research, and practical exposure, preparing students for roles in software development, data science, analytics, and IT consulting. Graduates are well-placed in reputed companies, and the degree is valued for its depth and industry alignment. Compared to B.Tech CSE, the integrated M.Tech offers a master’s degree, more research exposure, and advanced electives, making it ideal for those interested in specialization or R&D. Recommendation: If you are interested in a comprehensive, research-oriented program with strong placement prospects and are willing to commit five years, the integrated M.Tech at VIT is a solid choice with a promising future. However, it is advisable to prefer BTech, gain 2-3 years work experience and then think about pursuing MTech, if the need arise. It all depends upon your short-term/long-term career goals. All the best for your admission and a bright future!

Ans: Rounak, With a 91.08 percentile in JEE Main and 92% in boards (General, West Bengal), you are not eligible for CSE in any NIT or GFTI, as CSE cutoffs in these institutes are much higher and typically require a percentile above 95 or a rank well below 50,000. At your rank, you may get non-core branches in lower NITs like NIT Puducherry or NIT Agartala, but not CSE. For CSE/IT, consider reputable private colleges in West Bengal (Heritage, IEM, Techno India) or other states, where your score is sufficient for admission and placements are strong. Recommendation: Focus on securing CSE/IT in top private colleges in your state or region, as this will offer better career prospects and placement opportunities compared to non-core branches in lower NITs or GFTIs. Apply widely and participate actively in counseling to maximize your options. All the best for your admission and a bright future!

Ans: Hi Rita,

Based on the rank you achieved with VIT-2025, you may qualify for Category 5 in the CSE program. I recommend trying the Bhopal center. For more information, please check the VIT website for updates and consider exploring other VIT locations as well.
