Sir, My son has completed his 12th CBSE with 94.6%. He has great interest in hands on projects, has done few tiny arduino projects , made up few pcbs in electronics, and also built small model of bridge, metro, etc. He always tries to know about the technologies in railways locomotives, dam constructions etc, which show his interest in these lines, also. He had qualified for jee advanced, so he has joined iit madras bs program in data science, now he likes that also. We are confused which branch of engg he should take up, as he seems to have great interest in civil, mech, electronics, computer programming lines as well. He doesnt want to take up a pure computer job as a career, as he wants to work on atleast 40% hands on projects. Kindly help in choosing the branch. Thank you

Ans: Considering his diverse interests and preference for hands-on projects, Mechatronics Engineering might be the best fit. He can use his knowledge in Data Science in different applications in Engineering. Encouraging him to look into specific programs at IITs and other top engineering colleges that offer these interdisciplinary fields will help him find a program that aligns with his interests and career aspirations.

Ans: You are lucky to have a son who has got admission in many good institutions. Sit with him and take a decision based on his interest. I can see barring one college, rest of the colleges are offering him BTech in diff shades of Computers. Let the two of you do a bit more of research and decide. Whichever college he picks his goal has to be to excel. Do also factor in the fee and hostel expenses to get him a feel of improtance of money.

Sir, my son has completed his 12th, and we have blocked a seat in pes rr, ece branch. He has interest in civil related field that he has done a few things on his own to know more on that field, from grade 8,9, and talks about the roads, infrastructure etc. He knows and does by intuition how to fix things in the house, when they break.He has also done very small interfacing projects in electronics. We dont know which branch to choose? He has also enrolled in bs from iitm through jee adv. He took it up to gett a stronger foundation in programming in case he continues with ece. He likes that too. Kindly advise which branch he should choose in engg, he dooesnt want to take up a cs career, though. Thank you

Ans: Hi. Always respect the interests of our children. As you said and elaborated about him, you must opt for Civil Engineering where he will excel over CS / ECE. But you have blocked this seat in PES. A branch change option is available in 2nd year depending on the score of 1st year and the availability of seats in the respective branch. If the institution is ready to refund the maximum amount of fees as per their terms and conditions, then first choose the Civil seat in a good college and then leave PES. Forcefully doing CS/EEE is not at all recommended. Else wait for bs as he enrolled iitm via jee adv.

Career

Sir i have a rank 33k in VITEEE but wasnt able to get into any ECE or CSE branch in VIT chennai but my friends with ranks of 70k+ got in is there any way??

Ans: Possible Reasons for This Discrepancy
Counselling Round Differences:

VIT counselling happens in multiple rounds. If your friends participated in later rounds, the cutoffs may have relaxed due to withdrawals.

Some seats may open up in sliding or mop-up rounds.

Category of Fee:

Your friends might have opted for higher fee categories (Category 2, 3, etc.), while you may have applied under Category 1, where cutoffs are stricter.

Campus/Branch Preferences:

Check if they selected less popular CSE/ECE specializations (e.g., CSE with Business Systems, or ECE IoT) rather than core branches.

Incorrect Preference Order:

Sometimes, students miss out because they placed less probable branches higher in preference order.
