Question by Nair on Jun 24, 2024Hindi

Hi Sir, awaiting urgent revert to my query posted 3 days back. Reposting here with few added points. Request urgent revert as we need to take urgent decision, VIT orientation being in July and NMIMS admissions are closing this week. My query below: We are now in Mumbai. My daughter has got Core CSE Category 5 in VIT Chennai. Is NMIMS equally good for updated Btech courses,academics and good placements? My daughter is eligible for B.Tech Comp Sci and Engg (Data Science), B.Tech Comp Sci and Engg (Cyber Sec), B.Tech (Artificial Intel), B.Tech (Computer Science and Business Sys), B.Tech (Data Science) in Mumbai campus. They don't have core CSE in Mumbai campus. Fees are almost same in VIT Chennai and NMIMS. We are ready to relocate if needed and send her as Day Scholar to VIT chennai. Also she scored 83% in CBSE Boards, her MHTCET score is 89.5 and Comedk rank is 12593. But counselling is getting delayed, not yet started. If there is any possibility of getting in a good college with her scores which could be preferred over VIT chennai / NMIMS preferably CSE , please guide us accordingly. Location preferred is Maharashtra or Bangalore but do not wish to compromise on the best course for my daughter with regards to academics and future career. If needed, will relocate. Please let me know the options available and which course/institute should I go with and Why? Awaiting eagerly in Anticipation. Please advice

Ans: First let's understand the importance of Core CSE without specialization. The course equips you with all the science in depth that makes up the computer world. AI and NN are a creation of the masters of Core CSE.
Secondly, let's understand what specialized branches will offer. Here the focus is more on the subjects that leads you towards the understanding of the subject of specialization.
Looking at the employability aspect after graduation, is that AIML, Data Science and Cyber Security is on boom and a huge population is taking the course, so a percentage of graduates might be ending up with fairly paying jobs which are obviously purely application based. Very few would end up into the research area.
Development of computers is still in scope and lot of IT services jobs are related to core CSE.
Your daughter has scored 80+ which means she can do better in both Core CSE and CS with Specialization.
Placements of VIT Chennai is better so go for Core CSE. She will outperform and will have the opportunity to delve deep into Computer Science and Engineering per se. Hope she is a thinker and a philosophical person.
