For b.tech priority should be institute or stream. Like my have chances of getting electrical/ mechincal/ chemical in DTU OR NSUT. CSE/IT in Guru Govind singh indraprastha University. He wants to go in for coding. In some NIT/IIIT he can get ECE also. We r from Delhi. Pl advise

Ans: Samriti Madam, if your son wants to go for coding, better to avoid other Branches like Electronics, Electrical & Mechanical. Better to go for CSE with GGSIPU. Whatever Institute / University & Branch your Son chooses, he should keep upgrading his skills from his 1st year itself till his Campus Placement during his last year, from NPTEL, Internshala etc. and / or any other online platforms, recommended by his College Faculties, to be COMPETENT among other Students.

All The BEST for your Son’s Bright Future, Madam.

Ans: Hi Anurag
CS with Math at IIT-D should be the first choice then, CS at BITS should be considered.

Ans: Pramod Sir, With a 72 percentile in JEE Main (CRL ~286,000–322,000) and 71% in Class 12, your son’s options for B.Tech are limited to private universities and state engineering colleges offering non-CSE branches like Mechanical, Civil, Electronics, or Electrical Engineering. SAGE University Indore (cutoff ~70–80 percentile) and Galgotias University (cutoff ~60–70 percentile) provide 70–80% placement rates in core sectors through recruiters like L&T and TCS, while Sharda University’s IoT/EEE programs (~65% placements) offer emerging tech exposure. For affordable fees, consider state exams like GUJCET for Government Engineering College, Bharuch (Mechanical) or L.J. Institute of Engineering (Electronics), which have lower cutoffs (~60–65 percentile equivalents). If prioritizing location, Pandit Deendayal Energy University, Gandhinagar (direct admission) and Marwadi University, Rajkot (scholarships for JEE qualifiers) are viable Gujarat-based options with 60–70% placements in core engineering. Avoid chasing CSE at this percentile; instead, focus on Mechanical/Civil for stable PSU opportunities or Electronics/IT for IT sector roles. As backups, explore diploma-to-degree pathways or skill enhancement certifications to improve employability. Prioritize AICTE-approved colleges with active placement cells and industry partnerships. All the BEST for your Son's Admission & a Prosperous Future!
