Sir I'm a pcb student but with growing time I realised my potential for engineering i really want to pursue engineering i have even gave exams like vit , wbjee , comedk and got selected in all but I'm worried about placements and companies selecting only pcm background students...for their further working, is there any way I can pursue engineering in a good college and will get good placement after that? Can you recommended something...

Ans: One of the important requirements for doing well in Engineering is proficiency in Maths and Quantitative methods. You have to determine if you love doing maths, have deep interest in the subject. You should seek admission in an engineering program and not worry about placements now because engineers will be in demand for all times to come. If you have a good score in your Engg program it does not matter what subjects you took in your school final years.

Hello sir My daughter is getting cs in iiit vadodara and can get civil or mechanical in nit which one she should choose as one of them has better course other is better college . please help..
Ans: Ishita Madam, Your daughter faces an excellent choice between Computer Science at IIIT Vadodara and Civil/Mechanical Engineering at a NIT, representing a decision between specialized technical education versus broader engineering foundation at a more prestigious institutional brand. IIIT Vadodara CS demonstrates strong placement performance with 97.21% placement rate in 2023, though this declined significantly to 50% in 2024, with average packages of INR 15.43 LPA in 2023 and INR 11.34 LPA in 2024. The institute holds no NIRF ranking in the top 100 engineering category but maintains solid industry connections with companies like Amazon, Adobe, Samsung, and Microsoft participating in placements. NIT Civil Engineering shows moderate placement performance with 63.79% placement rate at institutions like NIT Kurukshetra, while NIT Mechanical Engineering achieves superior performance with 86% placement rate and established industry partnerships. NITs maintain significantly higher institutional prestige with top NITs like NIT Trichy ranked 9th in NIRF Engineering rankings 2024, NIT Surathkal at 17th, and NIT Rourkela at 19th position. Computer Science offers 16% job growth compared to 15% for civil engineering, with CS providing broader career flexibility and higher industry demand. However, NITs provide government-funded quality education, established alumni networks, and superior brand recognition for long-term career prospects. Recommendation: Choose IIIT Vadodara CS for superior placement consistency in the rapidly growing technology sector, specialized education in high-demand computing skills, and better career prospects despite NIT's institutional prestige, as CS offers greater industry alignment and growth opportunities. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

I have obtained a OBC-NCL rank of 134634 and a CRL rank of 375890 in JEE (MAINS). I am from West Bengal. I want to study B. Tech CSE only. Drop is not an option. I have opted for some exams of reputed private colleges like SRM. But I still want to atleast apply for JoSAA counselling. What are the best possible colleges for my rank that I should apply for in JoSAA counselling(I have my OBC-NCL quota and West Bengal Home State quota)? Also if I feel the need to apply for CSAB counselling, what colleges should I apply for in CSAB counselling? Please help me. I am really lost. Thank you in advance.
Ans: I hope you’ve filled in the right choices in JoSAA based on your rank. In any case, here’s the answer to your query for cross-verification: With your JEE Main OBC-NCL rank of 134634 and CRL rank of 375890 from West Bengal, securing CSE admission through JoSAA counselling presents significant challenges at top-tier NITs and IIITs but viable opportunities exist at specific institutions leveraging your category and home state advantages . For JoSAA counselling, your rank falls outside the competitive range for premier CSE programs at top NITs like NIT Trichy (OBC-NCL cutoff 300-450), NIT Durgapur CSE (OBC-NCL cutoff 1939-3135), or NIT Rourkela CSE (OBC-NCL cutoff 589-1066) . However, you have realistic prospects at IIIT Kalyani under West Bengal home state quota with CSE cutoff reaching 37195 for OBC-NCL category, and newer IIITs where cutoffs extend beyond 100,000 ranks in later rounds . Government-Funded Technical Institutes (GFTIs) offer the most viable pathway with CSE cutoffs ranging from 25,000-50,000 for OBC-NCL category, including BIT Mesra (OBC-NCL CSE cutoff 8471), IIEST Shibpur (OBC-NCL CSE cutoff 11129 for home state quota), and other CFTIs accepting ranks up to 200,000+ . For CSAB counselling, focus on remaining vacant seats at GFTIs, newer NITs in special rounds, and technical institutes where cutoffs typically extend further than regular JoSAA rounds . Recommendation: Apply for JoSAA targeting IIIT Kalyani, BIT Mesra, IIEST Shibpur under home state quota, and multiple GFTIs while preparing for CSAB counselling as backup, though securing quality CSE admission through private colleges like SRM remains your most realistic pathway given current rank limitations. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
