Hi sir, my son has got cutoff of 39,000 in kcet he is interested in engineering cs core branch presidency University or CMR airport branch for cs is better
Ans: Sameena Madam, Based on extensive research into KCET admission possibilities with a 39,000 rank, your son faces challenging prospects for Computer Science Engineering at both institutions, as CSE cutoffs typically fall between 15,000-25,000 at CMR Institute of Technology and around 45,000 at Presidency University for general category students. CMR Institute of Technology demonstrates superior placement performance with 97% overall placement rate, achieving highest packages of INR 44.1 LPA in 2025, INR 29 LPA in 2024, and INR 22.70 LPA in 2023, with consistent average packages rising from INR 5.98 LPA to INR 6.99 LPA over three years. Presidency University shows 97% placement rate in 2023 with 2,217 students placed, including 1,495 from engineering, achieving highest packages of INR 13.58 LPA in 2023 and INR 11 LPA in 2022. CMR's airport location provides strategic advantages with modern 60-acre lakefront campus, state-of-the-art facilities, and proximity to international airport, while recruiting top companies like Accenture, Amazon, Federal Bank, and Google. Alternative engineering branches like Mechanical, Civil, or Electrical at both institutions offer better admission chances within this rank range. Recommendation: Choose CMR Institute of Technology for its superior placement record, modern infrastructure, and better industry connections, but consider alternative engineering branches given the competitive CSE cutoffs. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
