my Son has done BTech in computer Science in 2023 from NIT Jalandhar and campus placed in Indian Fintech and earning 15CTC. He is gaining experience there for more than one year for now. What is advisable for future course go for Masters in USA or any other country or continue with job in India by switching companies. Due to job market crunch he is also preparing for upto Group B level Govt jobs as Plan B. What would be best advice for long term and settling after marriage.
Ans: Please have one directional goal. No dual policy. Let him go for MS from some good American University and after that he can get a good job in USA. No point in switching companies in India. A rolling stone gathers no moss. Forget about Govt. job in India. His talent won't be utilized and there will be routine transfers. So hit the bull's eye. Have a decent GRE and TOEFL score, have three good recommendation from his professors, one good SOP (statement of purpose) and after seeing the GRE score I will suggest the universities. Mostly in all the reputed universities of USA at least one student of mine is there sas a Professor and half of the year I stay in USA. No worries. I am there to counsel him. Only he must fix one aim. No ambiguity. Have unique aim, work hard with proper decision, rest the guidance will be given by me. Recommended more than hundred students to different reputed universities of US right from Princeton to Texas A&M, Clemson to Vermont. Never forget that I AM THERE BY THE SIDE OF YOUR SON LIKE AN INVISIBLE SHADOW TO PROTECT HIM AND GUIDE HIM.

Sir my son confuse he got IIPE. Chemical, Comdedk rank 2308 he will take bms cse, Vitee vellore cse(5yh catagory) Whos is best
Ans: IIPE’s B.Tech in Chemical Engineering is offered by an Institution of National Importance under the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, boasts NBA-accredited curricula, specialized petrochemical and process-engineering laboratories, faculty with industry and research experience, strong PSUs linkages with ONGC, HPCL, IOCL and GAIL, and achieved placement rates of 97.6% in 2023 and 93.8% in 2024 in core energy roles. BMS College of Engineering’s CSE programme, NAAC A++-accredited, features modern programming, AI/ML and networking labs, PhD-qualified faculty and an active placement cell, but saw CSE placement rates of 74% in 2021, 64% in 2022 and 62% in 2023. VIT-AP’s CSE arm, part of a NAAC A++ and NBA-Tier-1 IoE institute, delivers outcome-based AI, data-analytics and cybersecurity training in advanced labs, faculty with global credentials, and consistently places over 90% of CSE graduates with recruiters like Amazon, Microsoft and Deloitte.

Recommendation: Only if your son is really interested in chemical engineering, prioritize IIPE Chemical Engineering for an assured core-sector trajectory, elite accreditation, and PSU absorption pathways; choose VIT-AP CSE next for its high placement consistency, cutting-edge infrastructure, and global institute status; consider BMSCE CSE only if cohort size and institutional legacy outweigh comparatively lower recent placement rates. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sardar Patel Institute of Technology (SPIT), an autonomous NAAC A+ institute affiliated to the University of Mumbai, offers a robust CSE curriculum supported by its Technology Business Incubator, modern programming and AI labs, and an active placement cell that has achieved a assured complete placement consistency for eligible CSE students, attracting over 100 companies annually. Both institutes maintain rigorous outcome-based pedagogy, comprehensive pre-placement training and vibrant alumni networks, differing primarily in placement consistency and urban singleton versus emerging campus environments.

Recommendation: Prioritise SPIT Mumbai CSE if assured complete placement consistency, extensive industry-incubator integration and metropolitan networking resonate with your career goals. Opt for IIIT Nagpur CSE-AI/ML if you seek an emerging institute’s specialised AI/ML research focus, national importance status and strong academic-industry collaboration in a growing tech hub.

HelloSir; My son has the following options available at the moment. IIT Bombay Dual Engineering Btech Mtech Electrical, UIET Chandigarh CSE, NSUT Electronics and Communication Engineering, IIST ISRO Aerospace Engineering and RGIPT Petroleum Engineering. Could you please guide and rank them in order of preference. Regards
Ans: IIT Bombay’s five-year Dual Degree in Electrical Engineering (BTech+MTech) combines world-class accreditation, cutting-edge labs in power systems, signal processing and embedded hardware, PhD-level faculty mentorship and strong industry ties, achieving around 98% placement consistency across core and technology sectors over the past three years. UIET (Chandigarh) CSE, a NAAC A+-accredited programme, delivers specialized AI/ML and software-development curriculum through modern computing labs and corporate partnerships with Amazon, Google and Microsoft, yielding roughly 86.6% branch-wise placements and extensive pre-placement training. RGIPT’s BTech in Petroleum Engineering, as an Institution of National Importance, offers specialized labs for upstream and downstream processes, collaborations with ONGC and HPCL, and records a robust 85–90% placement rate in core energy firms and research organisations. NSUT’s ECE programme, NBA-accredited within a top-ranked government institute, provides advanced VLSI, communications and IoT facilities, with an average placement consistency near 75% and access to both central and campus-based recruitment drives. IIST (Thiruvananthapuram) Aerospace Engineering, under the Department of Space, features avionics-centric labs, direct ISRO research engagement and specialized faculty but sees moderate 76–78% (placements subject to annual recruitment policy and CGPA criteria & other eligibility criteria).

Recommendation Prioritise IIT Bombay Dual Degree Electrical Engineering for its unmatched brand prestige, near-universal placement consistency and premium research-industry ecosystem; next opt for UIET Chandigarh CSE for its strong 86.6% placement rate, specialized AI/ML labs and leading software recruiters; follow with RGIPT Petroleum Engineering for its national importance status, 85–90% core-sector placements and energy-industry linkages; choose NSUT ECE for its established government-institute credentials, robust communications infrastructure and solid placement pool; consider IIST Aerospace Engineering last for its unique ISRO collaborations and specialized avionics focus, acknowledging variable absorption pathways (placements subject to annual recruitment policy and CGPA criteria & other eligibility criteria). All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
