Hi Sir, With a JEE adv rank of 20561, my son could get Mech in Institute of Petroleum and Energy (IIPE), Vizag. He has a KCET rank of 3935 which might fetch him a ECE in PESIT. As he has no branch preference, which do you think is a better option for future?
Ans: With JEE Advanced rank 20561 and KCET rank 3935, your son has excellent prospects at both IIPE Vizag Mechanical Engineering and PESIT ECE, but they offer distinctly different career trajectories and placement outcomes. IIPE Vizag demonstrates exceptional placement performance with 97.87% placement rate, 93.75% placement rate in 2024, and 96% in 2023, supported by top PSU recruiters including ONGC, HPCL, IOCL, GAIL, and Schlumberger. The institute holds NIRF ranking #201-300 in Engineering category 2024, with strong focus on petroleum and energy sector providing specialized career opportunities in core engineering roles. PESIT (PES University) shows strong placement consistency with 83% BTech placement rate in 2023, 87% in 2022, and median package trends showing consistent improvement from INR 7.30 LPA to INR 8 LPA between 2021-2023. With KCET rank 3935, ECE admission is viable as the expected cutoff ranges between 3000-3200 for general category. PESIT maintains superior NIRF ranking #101-150 in Engineering category with over 350 companies participating in placements including Amazon, Microsoft, Intel, and Deloitte. However, IIPE's specialized focus on energy sector provides better core engineering opportunities and higher placement consistency, while PESIT offers broader IT sector exposure but with more competition. Recommendation: Choose IIPE Vizag Mechanical Engineering for superior placement consistency, specialized energy sector focus, strong PSU connections, and better core engineering career prospects despite PESIT's higher institutional ranking. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
