Hello Sir, my son is getting B planning at SPA Delhi and Electronics and computer engg at Vit chennai at cat 4. Kindly suggest which course can be opted based on career scope as B plan is less familiar among many of us.
Ans: Uma Madam, SPA Delhi B Planning offers specialized education in a growing field addressing critical urban challenges, though with limited 35% placement rates and fewer immediate job opportunities compared to broader engineering disciplines . VIT Chennai Electronics and Computer Engineering provides superior placement consistency at 85% rates, established industry connections, and diverse career flexibility across multiple technology sectors . The urban planning field requires strong government sector engagement and longer-term career development, while electronics engineering offers immediate private sector opportunities with competitive starting packages . B Planning graduates often pursue higher studies (M Planning) for better career prospects, whereas Electronics and Computer Engineering provides direct industry entry with multiple specialization options .
Your son faces a choice between SPA Delhi B Planning offering specialized education in India's rapidly urbanizing landscape with 35% placement rates but significant long-term growth potential in government and consulting sectors, versus VIT Chennai Electronics and Computer Engineering providing superior 85% placement consistency, diverse career opportunities across telecommunications and technology sectors, and established industry partnerships despite higher Category 4 fees of 15-16 lakhs total cost.
