MTech in IIT Jammu for Mechanical or IIT Dhanbad for Non-Core Branch: Which Should I Choose?

Ans: Hello Dr.
That's a very good score. Considering this year's paper I think she can get a govt seat in the last rounds.

Ans: Hello Dr
In my view CSE at PES University > CSE at MSRIT > ECE at RVCE, if she is aiming for a tech/software career.

if she's very inclined toward electronics or values RVCE's culture more, then ECE at RVCE is still a strong and respectable option.

in the coming time ECE is going to have huge career prospects.

Ans: Hello Puja
There seem to be borderline chances for Govt seat. If you are from MS then take any of the best seat you get as govt has waived off tuition fees for female students.

Ans: Hello Sir
if your son has scored this without any prep then he must be having a sharp mind. I don't know why board improvement? His score is decent.
Regarding drop, if he is confident that he can crack JEE-ADV with good rank & get a 99 %ile in mains then it is worth a try.

Ans: HI Rekha
both streams have got their scope. It completely depends upon your interests.

Ans: Hello
govt seat at 330 is very difficult even considering the difficulty level of paper this year.

Ans: Hi
ECE is a very good branch and you can always get into coding through minors and by developing your skills in coding.

Ans: HI Manoj
your son can get ECE in IIITs through CSAB

Ans: Pavitra, New Horizon College of Engineering (NHCE) Bangalore offers moderate prospects for Mechanical Engineering, with 80-85% placement rates over the past three years, primarily driven by core sector recruiters like TCS, Benz, and L&T. The KCET 2024 cutoff rank for Mechanical Engineering closed at 88,675 (General AI), a significant drop from 2023’s 191,381, reflecting reduced competition for the branch. While NHCE’s infrastructure includes industry-aligned labs and a curriculum emphasizing sustainable design, its Mechanical Engineering placements lag behind CSE/ECE, with ~70% of graduates securing roles in manufacturing, automotive, or IT sectors. For students prioritizing core mechanical roles, BMS Institute of Technology (KCET cutoff ~50,000) or Dayananda Sagar College (cutoff ~60,000) offer stronger industry connections and higher placement traction in core sectors, while MVJ College (cutoff ~120,000) serves as a viable budget-friendly alternative with comparable academic rigor. If NHCE’s location or interdisciplinary projects align with career goals, it remains a reasonable choice, but aspirants should prioritize colleges with lower cutoffs and stronger mechanical ecosystems for optimal outcomes. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!
