मेरे बेटे ने तत्कालीन डब्ल्यूबीटीयू के तहत एक निजी कॉलेज से बीई (ईई) पास किया था और फिर सीबीआईपी नई दिल्ली से ट्रांसमिशन और डिस्ट्रीब्यूशन में डिप्लोमा किया था। इसके बाद उन्हें यूनिवर्सिटी ऑफ एप्लाइड साइंसेज अपर ऑस्ट्रिया से सस्टेनेबल एनर्जी में मास्टर्स करने का मौका मिला, जिसे उन्होंने 2019 में पूरा किया। उन्होंने ऑस्ट्रिया में एक कंपनी के लिए ट्रांसफार्मर निर्माण में एक साल तक काम किया। अब वह घर वापस आ गया है और भारत में एक अच्छी नौकरी की कोशिश कर रहा है लेकिन उसे इसमें मुश्किल हो रही है क्योंकि उसे कोई अच्छा प्रस्ताव नहीं मिल रहा है। क्या आप सुझाव दे सकते हैं कि उसे नौकरी के लिए कैसे और कहाँ प्रयास करना चाहिए?

Ans: CSE with AI / Cyber Security are solid options with good placements if she is interested in CS.

VIT Bhopal is improving, but placements are slightly lower than VIT Vellore and Chennai, so choosing a specialization with high demand like AI/ML or Cybersecurity is advisable.

Ans: Prepare for next year

Ans: Mathematics and Computing is a more future-proof and versatile choice in today’s software-driven and data-centric world, especially if you are interested in coding, algorithms, or data science.

But if you are passionate about electronics, circuits, telecom, or embedded systems, ECE is also an evergreen and rewarding option.

Ans: VIT-AP CSE

Ans: Prefer Chitkara CSE (AI & ML) over Thapar Civil

Ans: IIIT Dharwad and IIIT Raichur

Ans: With a 91 JEE Main percentile (AIR ~85,000), securing IT at VIT Vellore (Category 5) is feasible given its 2024 cutoff range of 19,200–19,500, though higher fees (?7.8L tuition + ?4.23L hostel) apply. NMIMS Mumbai’s CSE (Data Science), requiring NMIMS CET ranks (~12,000–15,000), offers a niche curriculum with industry partnerships (TCS, IBM) but lacks VIT’s ABET accreditation and established engineering reputation (NIRF #11 vs. NMIMS #101-150). His MET score of 132 (rank ~18,000–25,000) may qualify for ECE/IT at Manipal Bengaluru (2024 cutoff: ~23,458–34,532). While VIT provides stronger core IT infrastructure (smart labs, 980+ recruiters), NMIMS’s data science focus aligns with emerging tech trends. Board marks (73%) may limit state exam options; await MHT CET/COMEDK for potential CSE in regional colleges. Prioritize VIT for institutional legacy or NMIMS for specialization, pending further results. All the BEST for your Son's Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Adithya, With an AEEE rank of 7,922, securing CSE (Cyber Security) at Amrita Coimbatore is unlikely, as its 2024 cutoff for this branch required ranks under 5,500 (Home State) and 2,900 (Other State). However, Amritapuri Campus is feasible, with 2024 cutoffs around 8,500–9,200 for Home State and 9,500–11,300 for Other State. Amritapuri’s program offers 120 seats and industry-aligned cybersecurity training, while Coimbatore’s higher demand and stricter cutoffs make it less accessible. Prioritize Amritapuri during counseling, and consider CSE (AI) or ECE at Coimbatore as alternatives if Cybersecurity is unavailable. Verify domicile status (Home/Other State) for precise cutoff alignment. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Rishabh, Choosing between SIT Pune’s E&TC and VIT AP’s ECE (VLSI) depends on career focus and institutional strengths. SIT Pune’s ABET-accredited E&TC program offers robust industry partnerships (Microsoft, Samsung), advanced labs (VLSI, embedded systems), and a 95%+ placement rate with mandatory 6-month internships, fostering core electronics roles and IT transitions. VIT AP’s ECE (VLSI) specializes in semiconductor design, featuring NVIDIA-collaborated labs and curriculum aligned with India’s Semiconductor Mission, ideal for niche hardware careers. While SIT provides broader industry exposure and a stronger alumni network, VIT AP’s lower fees (?7.8L vs. SIT’s ?12L) and VLSI focus suit specialized interests. Prioritize SIT for holistic ECE training and established infrastructure, or VIT AP for cost-effective, cutting-edge VLSI pathways. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
