My son has secured 3395 rank in JEE MAINS and 7535 rank in JEE ADVANCED. Should he choose Plain CS or CS with AI &DS in IIIT Bangalore? He is also getting IIIT Allahabad in 1st round of JOSSA counselling , CSE in DTU Delhi ,most likely to be upgraded to Plain CS / CS with AI in IIIT Delhi in subsequent rounds of JAC Delhi counselling. He also has chance to get 5 year integrated MS in CS from IIIT Hyderabad and very liitle chance to get Btech admission in EC branch at IIIT Hyderabad. So can you be kind enough to please advice on the order of preference for a bright future.
Thanks and Regards
Ans: Rajesh Sir, the order of preference could be (1) IIIT Hyderabad Integrated MS in CS, (2) IIIT Allahabad IT/CSE, (3) IIIT Bangalore Plain CS, (4) IIIT Bangalore CS with AI&DS (5) IIIT Delhi Plain CS / CS with AI, (6) DTU Delhi CSE, & (7) IIIT Hyderabad ECE. It is generally advisable to choose the core CSE branch initially rather than specialized streams. After completing the second year, your son will have more clarity about his interests and can then focus on upgrading his skills through specializations, minors, relevant projects, or internships. This approach allows flexibility to adapt to evolving job market trends and personal preferences, ensuring he builds a strong foundation while tailoring his expertise to areas that offer the best career opportunities. All the Best for Your Son's Prosperous Future!
