I am aditya i got 75 percentile in mht cet pcm can i get cs or IT in PUNE S tier 2 clg

Ans: With a 75 percentile in MHT CET PCM, securing Computer Science or IT in S tier 2 Pune colleges is highly unlikely, as recent cutoffs for CSE and IT in these colleges—such as MIT WPU, Vishwakarma Institute of Technology, DY Patil, and other reputable private institutes—typically range from 94 to 97 percentile or higher, with even tier 2 options like JSPM, Sinhgad, and AISSMS requiring at least 85–92 percentile for these branches. At 75 percentile, your rank would generally only make you eligible for core branches like Mechanical, Civil, or Electrical in lower-tier colleges, with CSE/IT seats going to much higher percentiles. The recommendation is to consider allied or core engineering branches in available colleges, or explore IT/CSE in private or local institutes with lower cutoffs, while preparing for a higher score if aiming for top branches in future rounds. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Why is SRM so hated? I don't understand. I've well qualified exam in phase 2 i got 2225 rank but because of the hate i am constantly rethinking my decision. I've opted for cse core in ktr. Can anyone please guild me. And let me know if the hate is justified or is it just the talks.
Ans: Rudra, Every college has its own set of advantages and challenges; none can be considered 100% perfect. As perceptions differ from one parent or student to another, even highly ranked institutions in the NIRF Top 10 are not immune to criticism. Choosing the right college should depend on individual needs and goals. Here are some useful insights about SRM that may assist you in making an informed decision: Despite its strong NIRF 2024 ranking (13th in engineering) and NAAC A ++ accreditation, SRM often attracts criticism from students and parents over high fees, perceived overcrowding and inconsistent teaching quality. Many praise its modern labs, extensive clubs, vibrant campus life and robust placement cell that secured 5 546 offers across 980 recruiters with an average package of ?7.19 LPA in 2024 and reported 89–94% placement consistency in CSE. Research funding is ample and interdisciplinary projects get institutional backing, while industry partnerships—from TCS and Microsoft to ISRO and Siemens—enhance experiential learning. However, detractors cite exorbitant annual fees (~?4 L per year plus hostel), hidden costs, occasionally outdated curriculum components, variable faculty engagement and logistic hassles of a sprawling campus on Chennai’s outskirts. Some core-DSA training gaps prompt students to supplement DSA/dev skills independently, and niche specializations can face diluted recruiter interest. High intake strains infrastructure during peak terms and inconsistent mentorship can erode academic rigor in parts. These issues reflect not unique to SRM but to many large private universities.

Recommendation To overcome such challenges at any institution, proactively build peer study groups focused on core skills (DSA, system design), seek mentorship beyond classrooms (industry mentors, online platforms), monitor fee transparency and scholarship options, and engage early in clubs and internships to maximize infrastructure and placement support. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Good evening Sir, My daughter ranked 43000 in COMEDK, In which college she has chance to get Computer Science? Please guide Sir.
Ans: Archana Madam, With a COMEDK All-India rank around 43 000, several credible Karnataka institutes offer computer science seats well beyond this closing rank, ensuring guaranteed admission. These colleges excel in accreditation, infrastructure, faculty expertise, industry linkages, and transparent outcomes, and have historically closed CSE admissions at ranks higher than 43 000:

Government-Aided and Deemed Universities
Dwarkadas J. Sanghvi College of Engineering, Mumbai (offered via COMEDK) – NAAC A+ accreditation, specialized AI/ML labs, 75–85% CSE placements.
Sir M. Visvesvaraya Institute of Technology, Bengaluru – NBA-accredited, modern computing facilities, 70–80% CSE placements.
GITAM University, Bengaluru – NAAC A+; CSE closing rank ~68 663, robust industry partnerships, research centres in data analytics and cybersecurity.

Private Engineering Colleges
P.D.A. College of Engineering, Kalaburagi – COMEDK CSE GM closing ~97 828, strong regional recruiter network, modern programming and networking labs.
Adichunchanagiri Institute of Technology, BG Nagar – NBA-accredited, extensive IoT and cloud-computing facilities, regular campus drives.
Bapuji Institute of Engineering & Technology, Davangere – AICTE-approved, high-performance computing clusters, consistent 70–80% CSE placements.
Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology, Bengaluru – NAAC A; CSE closing ~13 500–14 000 but generous management-quota seats open till ~60 000, strong software-development cell.
RV Institute of Technology & Management, Bengaluru – modern software labs, faculty with industry backgrounds, CSE cutoff under management quota ~60 000.
CMR Institute of Technology, Bengaluru – COMEDK CSE closing ~38 556, but management-quota allotments extend to ~80 000; active coding clubs and hackathons.
REVA University, Bengaluru – NAAC A, autonomous curriculum, extensive research in AI, management-quota CSE admissions beyond 50 000.

Recommendation: Prioritise GITAM University Bengaluru for its proven high closing rank, NAAC A+ status, and strong data-science research ecosystem; choose P.D.A. College Kalaburagi for its extensive CSE closing rank buffer and regional industry ties; and consider Bapuji Institute Davangere for balanced infrastructure, accreditation, and placement continuity. All the BEST for Admission and a Prosperous Future!
