My daughter got 85 percentile in Jee mains in general category and got cse in kiit , Dayanand sagar university and lpu. Waiting for counseling in vit-ap and Bhopal. Which institute will be best for my daughter for cse ? Can she hope for any NIT in cse ? We are from Assam.

Ans: she may get non-CSE branches (like Civil, Chemical, Metallurgy) at:

NIT Mizoram

NIT Nagaland

NIT Arunachal Pradesh

NIT Meghalaya

Among KIIT, DSU, LPU (CSE): Order of Preference
KIIT – Better track record in CSE placements, dedicated tech fests, better peer group.

DSU (Dayananda Sagar University) – Decent Bangalore-based exposure, growing brand.

LPU – Large campus, mass intake. CSE is okay but placements vary widely.
If she gets CSE at VIT-AP or VIT-Bhopal, then the updated order would be:
VIT-AP > KIIT > DSU > VIT-Bhopal > LPU
