Hello sir.Just wanted to ask you a few questions as I am very much confused as to what should I choose.I qualified for jee advanced this year with 96.4 percentile but could not clear advanced.Based on jee mains I am getting ece in allahabad gfti JK university and lmnit jaipur cse.Also I am getting dual and 3+2 course in bits pilani with a score of 207 in BITSAT.I am getting CSE at viteee with a rank of 8302 and CSE at MIT manipal main campus with a rank of 163 .Also I am the topper of my school with 96 percent in class 12 boards this year.I am awaiting the results from NUS NTU HKU . Also I have got offer letters for CS BTech course from University of Manchester, Edinburgh, Warwick, Durham and Bristol.Also I am getting CSE at Shiv Nadar university and SRM University Chennai.It will be very kind of you to guide me as to what should I take.I belong from general category.
Ans: If your family can comfortably afford UK fees and living costs, choose The University of Manchester CS over LNMIIT, Manipal, VIT, SRM, Shiv Nadar, etc options. For other options, the preference order may be: NUS/NTU > BITS Pilani Dual > LNMIIT CSE > Manipal CSE. If you want a straightforward 4-year CSE path, LNMIIT CSE is the safest choice among your current confirmed Indian options. Don't work with lot of options, which creates a lot of confusion. First decide, do you want to study in abroad or in India? Once it is decided, rest of the options can be easily worked out as mentioned in my reply.

Good luck.

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!
