Hello Sir . I am passionate in Robotics and looking for Btech in Mechatronics. Got Vit chennai in cat3 for Mechatronics, which will cost around 28lakh for 4 years including hostel. Chances are very less to get seat in Amrita, SRM and Manipal. Already secured admission in MPSTME, NMIMS, Mumbai which will cost 18lakh for 4 years. Awaiting for MHCET result. I am not eligible for JoSSA counseling. Can some please guide me what path I shall follow- 1. Is it worth spending this much money in VIT Chennai for Mechatronics? 2. Shall I continue with MPSTME Mumbai ( we are from Mumbai only)? 3. Shall I look for other college thru MHCET in Mumbai with lower fees and then pursue masters in Robotics for good college after Btech? 4. Any further option if you can suggest. Robotics is my passion so not looking for any other branch.

Ans: Given your passion for robotics and financial considerations, MPSTME Mumbai’s B.Tech Mechatronics is recommended over VIT Chennai due to its lower cost (?18 lakh) and comparable academic quality, with 70-80% placement rates in core robotics roles through recruiters like Amazon, Accenture, and KPIT Technologies. While VIT Chennai offers specialized labs and RoboVITics club access, its ?28 lakh fee is disproportionate to its 51% placement rate for Mechatronics, primarily in automotive/IT sectors. MHCET options like Thakur College (cutoff ~86.97 percentile) or Terna Engineering (?5.72 lakh total fees) provide budget-friendly alternatives with ~70% placement rates, allowing savings for a master’s at premier institutes like IIT/IISc. However, if immediate industry exposure is critical, prioritize MPSTME’s Mumbai-based corporate network and project-driven curriculum, while keeping MHCET colleges like D.Y. Patil Navi Mumbai as backups for fee optimization without compromising robotics focus. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
