Hi Sir, My daughter got 3058 Rank in Comedk 2024 and 8954 Rank in Telangana Eamcet. Getting CSC and it's associated branches is little difficult in Telangana top colleges,we may get VNR/CBIT for ECE. She may get CSE in Dayanand Sagar College of engineering, Bangalore and Bangalore Institute of Technology. Are they good colleges? Can we prefer these two colleges for CSE or chose ECE in MSRIT/BMSCE or VNR/CBIT colleges. She is interested in both CSE and ECE branches. Should we choose Hyd/Banglore? We are from Hyd Please help
Ans: Manikanth Sir. Please prefer MSRIT / BMSCE for ECE over other Colleges which you have mentioned. However, please note, some software companies prefer even ECE students during Campus Recruitment. Compared to CSE, less number of Core Companies visit Campus for ECE. Your daughter should keep upgrading her skills (on her domain & Software) from 1st year itself till 4th year to be competent among other students / streams during Campus Recruitment. All The BEST for your Daughter's Bright Future, Sir.

My son is currently in class 12....scores 50% on Allen JEE advance tests conducted by Allen what's the hope in getting into IIT or NIT...what's the next choice ..He is in senior ranking group and mostly gets 7 - 10th rank of 13 students
Ans: Priya Madam, his score in ALL INDIA TEST SERIES, conducted by Allen, either offline or online by December (just before 1st JEE-Main in January / February) will be the deciding-factor (among lacs of students) on his 'Expected All India Score' and NOT where he stands among 13-stdents. Please note, there are competitors even among top coaching centers like FITJEE, AAKASH, Narayana & other Tier 1 / Tier 2 Coaching Centers all over India. It is also advisable to apply for / attempt in, minimum 5-Entrance Exams (for both Govt. & Private Colleges) as back-ups instead of relying only on JEE, due to a number of reasons. All The BEST for your Son’s Bright Future, Madam.
