Sir I could not afford mit please tell how is Panimalar Engineering college AND how can we improve

Ans: Sir, You haven't mentioned your son's exact BITSAT score, which is important to provide an accurate answer. Please refer to the last two years’ cutoff marks for the ECE branch at BITS Pilani to assess his chances. If there’s a significant gap between his score and the past cutoffs, it may be wise to avoid taking an unnecessary risk. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Sheelu, Prioritize NSUT East Campus CSE (IoT) for its established placement record, high recruiter engagement, and mature campus infrastructure; next, choose IPU USICT CSE for strong urban industry access and consistent placement outcomes; opt for IIST CSE (Data Science) third, valuing its unique research-driven space analytics focus and long-term career potential once the programme matures and ISRO absorption pathways crystallize (as it has been introduced this year only, have this as the last option). If your son is very interested in Data Science Program, he can have this as his first option. Also, please note, absorption into ISRO is not a guarantee as its recruitment policy changes every year and subject to some other eligibility criteria conditions too, such as minimum CGPA, branch etc. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: With a KCET rank of 21 000 (General-All India), admission into Electronics & Communication Engineering is guaranteed at a range of reputable Karnataka institutes whose last-round ECE closing ranks exceed your rank. These colleges have departments that are recognized for quality, modern ECE labs (like VLSI, embedded systems, and signal processing), active job placement support with a 70–90% success rate in placing students over the last three years, strong connections with industries, and good campus facilities. Fifteen such institutions where your son will certainly secure ECE admission are:
MVJ College of Engineering, Bangalore; Sir M. Visvesvaraya Institute of Technology, Bangalore; Reva University, Bangalore; Acharya Institute of Technology, Bangalore; RNS Institute of Technology, Bangalore; BNM Institute of Technology, Bangalore; Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology, Bangalore; BMS Institute of Technology & Management, Yelahanka; East West Institute of Technology, Bangalore; CMR Institute of Technology, Bangalore; New Horizon College of Engineering, Bangalore; JSS Science and Technology University, Mysore; Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering, Bangalore; RV College of Engineering Off-Campus (ECE electives), Bangalore; and Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Bangalore.

Electronics & Communication and Mechanical Engineering have some important similarities, like having the right accreditations, labs, job placement help, knowledgeable teachers, and connections with companies, but they focus on different subjects (like VLSI and signal processing for Electronics & Communication and thermodynamics and CAD/CAM for Mechanical Engineering), have different job markets (telecom/IoT for Electronics & Communication and automotive/manufacturing for Mechanical Engineering), require different skills, offer different research chances, and attract different employers. Both are excellent branches; selection hinges on your son’s interest in circuit/communication systems or mechanical design/manufacturing and his long-term career goals.

Recommendation: Encourage your son to pursue ECE if he enjoys electronics, IoT, and embedded systems; opt for Mechanical if he prefers core design, manufacturing, and automotive sectors. Align the choice with his passion and envisioned professional trajectory. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: HI,
If so, Government organizations and police forces are there to regulate and punish the students. So don't worry about the same. Kindly note: You should not be involved in the future..
BEST REGARDS

Ans: Hi Anand,

I hope you're doing well. What seems to be the issue with this institute? As you know, it is a government institution with numerous opportunities to explore. What more could you want as a student? Just being there will allow you to learn a lot.

In addition to your education, you'll also experience the culture of Meghalaya (in the Northeast) by living there for a few years. This is a great opportunity to immerse yourself in the culture of the Northeast and share it with others across the country. The mobilization of people throughout the state will contribute to the overall growth of Meghalaya in various aspects.
BEST WISHES.
Best regards.

Ans: Sunil Sir, IISc’s four-year BTech in Mathematics and Computing, with only 52 seats and NAAC A++ accreditation, combines rigorous core courses in analysis, algebra, algorithms, AI/ML, breadth in sciences, and humanities, supported by study tracks in AI, theoretical CS, quantum computing, and computational biology. Its emphasis on research and small cohort size fosters close faculty mentorship, with 71.43% placement consistency over the past three years and an average package of ?37.31 LPA. IIT Hyderabad’s BTech CSE, a NIRF-ranked Institute of Eminence, features a balanced core and elective curriculum integrating theory, systems, and interdisciplinary projects, modern AI, cloud, and networking labs, and robust Practice School internships. Its placement cell achieved a 79.37% CSE placement rate in 2024 with an average package of ?29.68 LPA and 100+ recruiters annually. Both institutions possess strong industry ties, active research centers, and dedicated career services, yet IISc offers a more specialized mathematics-CS blend and higher average placements, while IIT Hyderabad provides broader peer networks, larger cohort dynamics, and dedicated CSE infrastructure.

Recommendation: Given your son’s interest in pure computation and research, the recommendation is to join IISc’s Mathematics and Computing for its niche curriculum, small-cohort mentorship, and superior average placements; alternatively, choose IIT Hyderabad CSE for broader student community, comprehensive labs, and strong industry engagement. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Dear Ms. Premlata,
Thank you for your message, and I truly appreciate your concern and dedication toward your son’s well-being and education. I would strongly recommend getting a formal assessment done by an educational psychologist or rehabilitation psychologist, or special educator. This will help identify your son’s specific needs and guide you with appropriate remedial strategies. Based on the results, you can explore individualized learning support or remedial classes that use interactive and multi-sensory teaching methods. It would also be helpful to speak with your son’s school authorities and request exam accommodations such as extra time, a quiet exam room, or a writer if required. These supports are permitted under CBSE and state education boards for students with attention-related difficulties, provided you submit the necessary documentation. Also Physical activity, mindfulness exercises, or even short walks can help him stay focused and relaxed. If you are in Mumbai Ummeed Child Development center is one of the organization, similarly in Delhi, Action for Autism can be considered. Wishing your son very best.
