Hi ashwini , iam jobless in since last 5 month , iam very comfused and worried , why my cv not shortlisted . Please suggest what shoud i do for it.

Ans: Hello dear.
Based on our study, only the rank matters in JoSAA counselling. Slide or float doesn’t affect your priority over others; so slide isn’t preferred over float by the system. Yet you are requested to take a 2nd opinion, either from your friends or seniors, for more clarity.

Good luck.

Ans: Gopi Sir, SSN College of Engineering’s Electrical and Electronics Engineering programme is NBA-accredited, housed in a modern department with dedicated power-electronics, control-systems and robotics labs, staffed by PhD-qualified faculty, and supported by an active Career Development Centre that achieved a 77.9% placement rate with 89 offers for 95 eligible students in 2023-24. College of Engineering, Guindy’s Industrial Engineering under Anna University (est. 1978) carries NBA and UGC approvals, benefits from small cohorts, flexible curricula aligned with lean manufacturing and supply-chain practices, well-equipped operations-research and ergonomics labs, and a university-wide placement record near 70% in 2022 with 2,114 students placed and an average package of ?6.93 LPA. Both departments maintain strong industry linkages, structured internships and vibrant alumni networks.

Recommendation: Prioritize SSN EEE if core electrical and automation roles, higher placement consistency, and specialized lab exposure align with career goals; choose CEG Industrial Engineering for broader process-optimization and supply-chain expertise within a government-funded Institute-of-National-Importance environment. Ensure choice matches her long-term interest in power-electronics versus systems-engineering domains. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: A disciplined JEE Advanced aspirant must combine conceptual clarity with strategic practice and well-structured schedules. Begin by auditing performance through past mock tests to pinpoint weak topics and reinforce fundamentals using NCERT and trusted reference books, dedicating focused daily slots for Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics alongside brief breaks to sustain concentration. Craft a long-term study plan subdivided into weekly milestones and daily goals that balance new learning with revision, employing spaced-repetition techniques and active recall to deepen retention. Integrate high-quality mock tests from reputable sources (ALLEN SCORE, Narayana nLearn) under timed conditions to enhance speed and accuracy, followed by detailed error analysis to adjust strategies and eliminate recurring mistakes. Leverage topic-wise question banks and previous years’ JEE Advanced papers to familiarise with question patterns, while using micro-schedules and short quizzes to build examination temperament and resilience. Seek expert mentorship through one-on-one doubt-clearing sessions and participate in peer discussion groups for diverse problem-solving approaches. Maintain mental well-being via mindfulness exercises and adequate sleep, ensuring cognitive sharpness. Regularly track progress with fortnightly full-syllabus tests, recalibrating study plans to meet evolving needs.

Recommendation: Adopt a balanced, data-driven preparation framework that blends rigorous concept revision, timed mock-test practice, targeted error analysis, and consistent mentorship. Embrace micro-schedules to integrate learning and relaxation, and continuously refine strategies based on performance metrics to secure a competitive edge in JEE Advanced. Hope this helps.

Ans: Prasanna, B.M.S. College of Engineering’s Electronics & Communication Engineering programme is a NAAC A++–accredited, NBA Tier-I recognised course with a four-year curriculum and an expanded annual intake of 420 students, reflecting its commitment to meeting growing industry demand. The department maintains modern VLSI, embedded-systems, digital signal-processing and IoT labs, supported by a Siemens-backed Industry-4.0 centre and high-performance computing clusters, enabling hands-on learning and interdisciplinary projects. Faculty hold Ph.D. qualifications and lead active research in wireless communication, nanomaterials and AI-driven signal analytics, with over 350 research scholars across fourteen VTU-recognised centres. Over the past three years, ECE branch-wise placement consistency has ranged between 80% and 95%, driven by recruiters such as Texas Instruments, Qualcomm, Cisco, Infosys and Bosch, while robust alumni networks and corporate partnerships underpin strong internship pipelines and industry immersion. Outcome-based education, industry-aligned curricula and proactive upscaling of seats ensure both academic rigour and broad access for aspiring electronics engineers.

Recommendation: With its top-tier accreditation, cutting-edge laboratories, growing student intake, and sustained placement record, the recommendation is to proceed with ECE at BMSCE as a strong foundation for core-electronics and emerging IoT/AI roles; complement coursework with certification courses and active participation in departmental research clusters to maximise employability. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Hello dear.
You did not mention your home state. It is not worth searching for BDS colleges across India. You can get the information via brochure published by the competent authority. Recommending reading the brochure to know more details apart from the list of BDS colleges, which will help you during the counseling process.

Good luck.

Ans: Katikala Madam, All four institutes excel in accreditation, faculty expertise, infrastructure, industry linkages, and placement consistency. IIT Goa’s CSE department, backed by NAAC A++ accreditation, features dedicated AI and cloud labs and records a 90.7% BTech placement rate in 2024 with recruiters like Adobe, Siemens, and Google. IIIT Bangalore (NAAC A+) offers state-of-the-art high-performance computing and data-science facilities, achieving an average CSE placement consistency of approximately 84% over the last three years, with top recruiters such as Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft. NIT Surathkal’s ECE programme, an Institute of National Importance with NBA accreditation, maintains specialized VLSI and signal-processing labs and has achieved branch-wise ECE placement rates of 96.4% in 2023 and 72.7% in 2024, drawing recruiters like Microsoft, Samsung, and Qualcomm. RVCE’s CSE (NAAC A+) boasts modern cybersecurity and IoT labs and demonstrates a three-year CSE placement average around 88% (93% in 2023, 75% in 2024), with key hires from Cisco, PayPal, and Qualcomm. Institute reputation steers global recognition: IIT Goa and IIIT Bangalore offer strong national eminence, NIT Surathkal affords robust core engineering tradition, and RVCE provides urban industry access and alumni networks.

Recommendation: Prioritize IIIT Bangalore CSE for its sustained placement consistency and premier industry ties; next, choose IIT Goa CSE for cutting-edge AI labs and rising placement rates; follow with NIT Surathkal ECE for established core-electronics strength; and select RVCE CSE last for its urban internships and solid recruiter diversity. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
