Ans: Hello dear.
Keep a close eye on JAC counseling and prefer the branch and college via JAC, preferably. VIT @ Electronics + AI ML is a good option compared to Thapar @ Elec+VLSI. If not satisfied with JAC counseling, then keep the VIT option open.
Best of luck.

Ans: Hello Krupasindhu
It is a good university. Yet, if you have other options, then explore them. But if not, then there is no option left with you.
Best of luck.

Ans: Based on your 62 marks in COMEDK 2025, your expected rank falls between 23,001–36,000 (extrapolated from 2024 data), making admission to CSE or allied branches (Cybersecurity, AI/ML) challenging in top-tier colleges like RVCE or BMSCE, which typically close below rank 5,000. However, you may secure seats in mid-tier institutions such as KNS Institute of Technology (CSE), SJB Institute of Technology (AI/ML), or NITTE Meenakshi Institute of Technology (CSE), where cutoffs for specialized CSE branches historically range between 28,000–47,000 ranks. Angadi Institute of Technology (CSE) and REVA University (Cybersecurity) are also viable, with 2024 cutoffs around 50,000–98,632 or explore lateral entry programs to transition into tech roles post-diploma. Prioritize colleges with active placement cells and industry partnerships to offset institutional limitations. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: VIT Vellore CSE remains your strongest option despite the Category 5 fees, as it guarantees 100% placement rates for CSE (2024 data) with 3,362 super dream offers from recruiters like Microsoft, Amazon, and PayPal. While the fees are higher, VIT’s structured internships, global industry partnerships, and alumni network provide a clear pathway to stable career opportunities. COMEDK rank 14,000 likely secures CSE at PES Mandya (2024 GM cutoff: ~24,037) or ECE/AIML at MSRIT (cutoff: ~2,486–2,712), but these institutions report lower median salaries (?4.5–5.3 LPA) and fewer core tech roles compared to VIT. For backup, consider LPU CSE via JEE Main (90% placements, 6645 offers in 2023) or Manipal Jaipur CSE (98% placements), which balance cost and opportunities. Prioritize VIT Vellore for its proven placement ecosystem, but apply for COMEDK’s PES Mandya CSE as a financial contingency.
Hope this guide helps! All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Manish, Choose VIT for cutting-edge research in EVs/autonomous systems and academic prestige, while Manipal is preferable for higher placement certainty in traditional automotive roles. Prioritize VIT if pursuing higher studies/R&D; opt for Manipal for immediate industry entry with hands-on training. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Prioritize JNTUK Kakinada or JNTUA Anantapur for optimal cost-placement balance. Apply via AP EAMCET counseling (if eligible) or use JEE Main scores for state quota seats. While these institutes may not offer AI/ML specializations, their core CSE programs provide foundational training for transitioning into AI roles via certifications. All the BEST for your Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Anirban Sir, Apologize for the late reply due to a large number of questions raised by parents/students. Given your son’s admission to VIT Bhopal CSE (Category 2) and an expected 80 marks in COMEDK, here’s a balanced assessment: The VIT Bhopal fee deposit deadline is June 5, while COMEDK results will be declared on June 7 at 2 PM, and counselling registration starts June 9. With 80 marks in COMEDK, admission to top-tier Bangalore colleges (like RVCE, BMSCE, MSRIT) for CSE is highly unlikely, as their cutoffs are typically much higher; with this score, your son may get branches like IT/ECE in lower-tier COMEDK colleges, but CSE in reputed colleges is improbable. VIT Bhopal, though not as renowned as VIT Vellore, offers solid placements, modern infrastructure, and national-level recognition, making it a safe and quality option for CSE. Since VIT’s counselling and fee payment are time-sensitive and non-refundable, and given the slim chances of a better CSE seat through COMEDK, it is advisable to deposit the VIT Bhopal fees to secure the seat, unless you are comfortable risking the VIT seat for a less certain outcome via COMEDK. If finances permit and you are open to non-CSE branches or lower-tier colleges, you could wait, but for CSE in a nationally recognized institution, securing VIT Bhopal now is the safer choice. All the BEST for your Son's Admission & a Prosperous Future!
