I have 142 marks in MET and 76% in boards. Is it possible for me to get in CSE ( or any specialization like AI/ML or financial technology ) at the main campus? If not should I go for Bengluru campus?

Ans: Sneh, With 142 MET marks (expected rank ~2,001–4,500) and 76% in boards, admission to CSE, AI/ML, or Financial Technology at MIT Manipal (main campus) is unlikely, as the 2024 closing ranks for these branches were CSE: 1,633, AI/ML: 2,255, and Financial Tech: 3,189. However, MIT Bengaluru offers viable alternatives, with 2024 cutoffs of CSE: 5,687, AI/ML: 7,244, and Financial Tech: 9,116, all within your rank range. While the main campus remains competitive, Bengaluru provides comparable academic rigor and industry exposure, albeit with marginally lower placement averages. During MET counselling, prioritize CSE at Bengaluru or specialized branches like AI/ML/Financial Tech as achievable options. If preferring Manipal, explore non-CSE branches (e.g., IT, Electronics) with lower cutoffs (~4,500–5,148) or monitor spot rounds for potential vacancies. Your board percentage meets the eligibility criteria (50% PCM), so strategically rank preferences during counselling to optimize admission prospects. Bengaluru serves as a strong backup with aligned opportunities, ensuring a balance between campus reputation and program accessibility.

All the BEST for your Admission & Prosperous Future!

Our son got cse seat at KLU Vijayawada and comedk rank 77400 , we may get tier2 colleges in Bengaluru. What is your suggestion to choose either of two options
Ans: Murali Sir, Koneru Lakshmaiah University (KLU) Vijayawada is a UGC Category-1 deemed university with NAAC A++ grading and NBA-accredited CSE, offering a well-structured ACM-aligned curriculum, modern software and AI labs, and a 20 Gbps campus network. CSE students have enjoyed 100% placement eligibility with major recruiters like Wipro, Infosys, TCS, and Amazon visiting annually, yielding an average package of ?7 LPA and median ?8.2 LPA over the last three years. Experienced PhD faculty, active industry MoUs, and robust internship opportunities from the second year underpin its academic rigor and professional preparedness.

Tier-2 Bengaluru private colleges accessible at a COMEDK rank of 77,400 typically hold NAAC B+/A accreditation with NBA-accredited programs, combining fundamental curricula with basic programming and communication labs. Their placement cells report 60–75% CSE placement rates, with average packages of ?3–5 LPA, and limited recruiting from regional IT services firms. Faculty profiles vary, and industry tie-ups are fewer, resulting in fewer live projects and smaller internship stipends.

recommendation Opt for KLU Vijayawada CSE to leverage its top-tier accreditation, assured placement eligibility, advanced labs, and extensive recruiter network. Consider a Bengaluru tier-2 college only if proximity, lower fees, or specific state quota advantages outweigh the benefits of KLU’s superior infrastructure, consistent placements, and research environment. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
