My son has a COMEDK rank of 1211 and KCET rank of 4556. What are his chances of getting Computer Science or Computer Related courses in RVCE? Or any other top colleges in Bangalore?

Ans: With a COMEDK rank of 1,211 and a KCET rank of 4,556, your son is highly unlikely to secure Computer Science or related branches at RV College of Engineering (RVCE) Bangalore. For 2024, the closing COMEDK rank for CSE at RVCE was 434 and for KCET, the CSE closing rank was 419, with Information Science and Data Science closing at 657 and 664 respectively—well below both your son’s ranks. Even for OBC category, the CSE cutoff via KCET is expected to be between 800–1,200. For other top Bangalore colleges, MSRIT’s CSE cutoff is typically under 1,500 (COMEDK) and 1,000–2,000 (KCET), and BMSCE also closes below 2,000 for CSE, making these options similarly out of reach. However, your son stands a strong chance for CSE, IT, or allied branches in respected colleges like Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering, Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology, BMS Institute of Technology, and JSS Academy of Technical Education, where CSE and related branches usually close between 2,000–6,000 (COMEDK) and 3,000–6,000 (KCET). These colleges have robust placement records, industry connections, and good academic environments. The recommendation is to focus on CSE or allied branches in top mid-tier Bangalore colleges such as Dayananda Sagar, NMIT, BMSIT, and JSSATE, as RVCE and other top three colleges are not feasible at your son’s current ranks. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir, my son is getting Mechanical and aerospace engineering in PEC, IT in UIET Chandigarh and CSE in CCET Chandigarh. Please suggest which would be the better option. He has Chandigarh state quota ( General Category)
Ans: Punjab Engineering College (Deemed-to-be University), Chandigarh offers a four-year B.Tech in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering on its verdant 120-acre campus, featuring advanced workshops, aerodynamics and solid-mechanics labs, and a 1:8 faculty-student ratio of predominantly PhD holders. Placement rates for Mechanical Engineering have been 74%, 76% and 47% over the last three years, while Aerospace hovered around 47%, 50% and 42%. University Institute of Engineering & Technology, Panjab University, Chandigarh provides a four-year B.E. in Information Technology with CBCS-based curriculum, specialized IT labs and NAAC A+ accreditation, recording placement rates of 80%, 78.4% and 66.3%. Chandigarh College of Engineering & Technology, Sector 26, Chandigarh offers a four-year B.E. in Computer Science & Engineering with NBA accreditation, modern computing facilities and strong industry ties, achieving CSE placement rates of 78.9%, 69% and 62% over recent years.

Recommendation: Prioritize UIET Chandigarh IT for its consistently strong placement momentum, robust infrastructure and state-quota advantage, followed by CCET Chandigarh CSE for its accredited curriculum and urban campus, and consider PEC Chandigarh Mechanical/Aerospace as a specialized core-engineering backup with solid research orientation. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!
