My son secured 19111 rank in VITEE and in first counseling allotted CSE (Physical Cyber Systems) in category 2. Please advise on it as it is a comparatively new stream
Ans: Based on institutional comparisons, Ethiraj College offers a B.Sc Psychology program with 50 sanctioned seats, emphasizing applied psychology training, dyslexia certification through KIDS Learning Centre, and faculty expertise in mental health and rehabilitation. While Ethiraj reports 35–65% placement rates for psychology graduates, with roles in HR and counseling, its median salary data remains unspecified. Women’s Christian College (WCC), with a 3-year B.Sc Psychology program (tuition: ~?1.37 lakhs), provides semester-abroad opportunities (USA/UK) and a 70–80% placement rate (median: ?3 LPA), supported by recruiters like TCS and Infosys. Post-pandemic, WCC’s psychology cutoff has risen sharply (800+ applicants for 50 seats in 2022), making admission competitive. Ethiraj’s lower fees and specialized training balance WCC’s global exposure. Given WCC’s delayed list and today’s Ethiraj deadline, secure Ethiraj’s seat to avoid losing both options, as WCC admission remains uncertain despite stronger placements. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
