Tech-savvy teen seeks guidance on choosing the best CSE program: IoT, Cybersecurity, or Core?

Ans: Hi
Chances of dental are there. For nursing or paramedical you need to give other CETs.

Ans: Hi Astitva
Choose NIT Delhi (EE)
Being in Delhi gives you better internships, tech event, and peer networking opportunities.
You can join coding communities, attend hackathons, and reach out to tech companies more easily.
Even from EE, you can make a solid switch to software with focused coding (LeetCode/Codeforces, GitHub projects, internships).

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!

Ans: Hello Sir
Go for Mahindra University, Hyderabad, In India – better for internships, placement, and future exams.
BITS Dubai is only a good option if you have surplus funds and want international exposure, but not necessarily better academic/peer quality than Mahindra in this case.

Also apply to Shiv Nadar University, Ashoka University (CS/Math), SRM Chennai or IIIT-H (SPE or ECD program) if still open – excellent peer groups and quality education.

Ans: A score of 119 in IAT with OBC reservation places you within the 1,500–2,500 rank range for the OBC category, making IISER Berhampur and IISER Tirupati potential targets based on historical cutoffs. For instance, IISER Berhampur’s 2024 OBC closing rank was 1,634 (corresponding to ~145 marks), while IISER Tirupati closed at 1,461 for OBC (~154 marks), suggesting a borderline chance if 2025 cutoffs relax slightly. However, newer campuses like IISER Bhopal (OBC cutoff ~1,305 rank) and IISER Mohali (OBC cutoff ~1,332 rank) remain unlikely due to higher mark requirements. If seat vacancies arise during later counselling rounds, IISER Berhampur’s BS-MS program may become accessible, though admission is uncertain. As backups, consider NISER Bhubaneswar or CEBS Mumbai via the NEST exam, where OBC cutoffs historically align with ~90–110 marks, or explore state universities like Delhi University’s B.Sc. Research programs for comparable interdisciplinary training. Prioritize counselling participation while preparing for alternative entrance exams to secure robust STEM pathways. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Yes, it is a very good option.

Ans: Hello Dr.
That's a very good score. Considering this year's paper I think she can get a govt seat in the last rounds.

Ans: Hello Dr
In my view CSE at PES University > CSE at MSRIT > ECE at RVCE, if she is aiming for a tech/software career.

if she's very inclined toward electronics or values RVCE's culture more, then ECE at RVCE is still a strong and respectable option.

in the coming time ECE is going to have huge career prospects.

Ans: Hello Puja
There seem to be borderline chances for Govt seat. If you are from MS then take any of the best seat you get as govt has waived off tuition fees for female students.
