As per my JEE main result I may get admission in following college: BIT Mesra- ECE branch THAPAR - CSE IIIT KOTA- CSE IIIT Ngpur- CSE IIIT Guwahati (not sure)- CSE Could you please suggest what should be order of preference.
Ans: Here's a suggested order of preference based on the colleges and branches you've mentioned, along with explanations:
1. Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology - CSE: Thapar is a well-established engineering institution, and CSE is generally considered a highly desirable branch.
If your son is inclined towards CSE, Thapar is a strong choice.
2. BIT Mesra - ECE: BIT Mesra is a prestigious engineering institute. While ECE might not be as sought-after as CSE, BIT Mesra's reputation and placement record can be attractive.
3. IIIT Kota - CSE: IIITs are known for their focus on IT and computer science.
IIIT Kota is generally considered a good option, particularly for CSE.
4. IIIT Nagpur - CSE: IIIT Nagpur is another reputable IIIT.
If you are looking for CSE, IIIT Nagpur is a strong contender.
5. IIIT Guwahati - CSE: IIIT Guwahati is a National Institute of Technology (NIT).
IIIT Guwahati is generally considered a decent option for CSE.
Important Considerations:
Branch Preference: Your personal preference for ECE vs. CSE is crucial. If you strongly prefer CSE, that should be a major factor in your decision.
College Reputation and Placement: Consider the reputation of each college and its placement record.
IIIT Focus: IIITs are known for their focus on IT and computer science, so they might be a good choice if you have a strong interest in those areas.
