Chandigarh University BE information technology is good my son has taken admission...

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!
