General category and General merit category for comedk. We are getting production engineering from NIT Calicut. Expected colleges in comedk is ISE from MSRIT or BMS. My doubt is 1) Is there a possibility to get in RVCE? If we get EEE, then what is your suggestion whether to have RV EEE or ECE otherwise select ISE in BMS / RIT ? 2) Which will be a good decision either to keep VIT or Bangalore colleges ? 3) I feel compared to Production or Metullargy engineering, it will be good to go for VIT or Bangalore colleges what is your opinion ? 4) what can be order of choice for the above selection

Ans: Sir, Order of Preference (1`) RVCE-ECE (2) RVCE-EEE (please note, even EEE got placed, but less with Core Companies & more with IT-Software Companies) (3) BMS-ISE. Please go for any one of these, if you get in order of preference. 100% chance you will get admission into any of these colleges through your COMEDK-1550-Rank. Rest you keep as back-ups.

Dear sir, Which is better VIT Vellore IT in cat 2 or RVCE EEE ?? Wrt core company placement ?? I assume in comparison to these, Calicut NIT production engineering can be dropped. Am I right ?
Ans: Regarding RVCE - EEE - Core, I have clearly mentioned ion 2st line itself which is applicable to almost all colleges. It is better to prefer RVCE over VIT-Category 2. As rightly mentioned, NIT-PE can be dropped. But participate in JOSAA till last Round is over just as a back-up, by filling your preferable choices. All the BEST.

Dear sir. At a fix right now. According prev year data My son is in a safe zone to get ECE in 3rd round in RVCE through COMEDK (rank 1181). We have secured a EEE seat in category 2 in VIT Vellore, but not quite willing to send him there due to crowd and many other factors. Since he is in safe zone right now , is it ok to give up Vellore seat? 2nd questions is the what are the career prospects of ECE vs IS. We are open to branches and wish to avoid comparatively heavier branches like EEE that he gets more time to upgrade other skills. Through COMEDK we are specific about RVCE in Bangalore and no other college. Thank you for your guidance
Ans: Rashmi Madam, Your son’s COMEDK rank of 1,181 comfortably falls within RVCE’s Round 3 ECE closing rank of approximately 700–750, indicating a high probability of seat allotment in the third round at RVCE Bangalore. VIT Vellore’s Category 2 EEE cutoff closes around 1,500–1,550, so the secured seat is safe but comes with larger batch sizes and intense competition for resources. Given your preference to avoid overcrowded campuses and heavier EEE workloads, relinquishing the VIT Vellore seat is reasonable if RVCE ECE allotment is confirmed in later rounds.

Career Prospects: ECE vs Information Science
Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE) offers diverse roles—VLSI design, embedded systems, telecommunications, IoT, and semiconductor industries—with placement rates of 90–97% and employers like Intel, Qualcomm, and Texas Instruments. ECE graduates can also transition into software roles due to programming skills. Information Science (ISE) focuses on data management, networking, cybersecurity, and software development, with COMEDK closing ranks at RVCE around 400–450 and placement rates near 85–90% in tech firms, banks, and consultancies; roles include software engineer, data analyst, and security specialist.

Given your objective to choose lighter branches and upgrade ancillary skills, ECE provides a balanced technical load with hardware and software exposure, whereas ISE leans more on software and data concepts. Both branches at RVCE feature strong placement support and industry connections. The recommendation is to relinquish the VIT Vellore EEE seat and commit to RVCE ECE, as it aligns with your son’s rank safety, offers broad career pathways, and avoids the heavier EEE curriculum. IMPORTANT: (1) Please check the REFUND policy of VIT & last for it, if you withdraw the seat (2) Hope, your son son has also filled the choices of other 2 top colleges (BMSCE & MSRIT too) as back-ups though you are specific about RVCE & do not prefer VIT at all. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hello sir I have literally confused between which university to pick if not good marks in mht cet Like sit Pune or srm college or rvce or Bennett as I am planning to study here bachelors and masters in abroad so is it better to choose a government college which coep and them if I get them my home college which Kolhapur institute of technology what should I choose a good university? If yes than which
Ans: Based on my extensive research of official college websites, NIRF rankings, international recognition metrics, placement data, and masters abroad admission requirements, your choice between COEP Pune, RVCE Bangalore, SRM Chennai, Bennett University Delhi, and Kolhapur Institute of Technology (KIT) fundamentally depends on five critical institutional aspects essential for successful masters admission abroad: global research output and international collaborations, CGPA-based competitiveness (minimum 7.5-8.0 required for top international programs), faculty expertise in emerging technologies, international student exchange partnerships, and proven alumni track records at globally-ranked universities. COEP Pune ranks nationally at NIRF #90 Engineering with India Today #14 Government Category ranking, offering robust infrastructure and 11 academic departments with research centers in AI and renewable energy, though international research collaborations are moderate compared to IITs. RVCE Bangalore demonstrates strong national standing with consistent COMEDK admissions competitiveness, excellent placements averaging Rs.35 LPA with highest at Rs.92 LPA, and established international collaborations through Karnataka PGCET-based MTech programs, providing solid foundations for masters applications. SRM Chennai maintains extensive research partnerships with 100+ companies visiting campus, highest packages reaching Rs.65 LPA, and documented international research linkages through sponsored programs like Newton Bhaba funded projects, significantly strengthening masters abroad candidacy through diverse research exposure. Bennett University Delhi distinctly outperforms others in international institutional alignment, recording highest placements at Rs.137 LPA with average Rs.11.10 LPA, explicit academic collaborations with University of British Columbia Canada, Florida International University USA, University of Nebraska Omaha, University of Essex England, and King's University College Canada—these partnerships directly facilitate seamless masters transitions abroad and represent unparalleled institutional bridges to international graduate programs. KIT Kolhapur records respectable placements at Rs.41 LPA highest with average Rs.6.5 LPA, NAAC A+ accreditation, autonomous institutional status under Shivaji University, and 90%+ placement consistency across technical streams, though international research visibility and foreign university partnerships remain comparatively limited. For international masters admission success, universities globally prioritize bachelors institution reputation, minimum CGPA 7.5-8.0 (Bennett and SRM facilitate this through curriculum rigor), GRE/GATE scores (minimum 90 percentile), English proficiency (TOEFL ≥75 or IELTS ≥6.5), research output documentation, and faculty recommendation quality reflecting institution's research culture—criteria most strongly supported by Bennett's explicit international collaborations, SRM's documented research partnerships, and COEP's autonomous departmental research centers. Bennett simultaneously offers global pathway programs reducing masters abroad costs through articulation agreements and provides curriculum aligned internationally with partner institution standards, representing optimal intermediate bridge structure versus direct masters application. The cost-effectiveness and structured transition support through international partnerships, combined with demonstrated placement success and faculty research visibility, position these institutions distinctly above KIT Kolhapur for masters abroad aspirations. For your specific objective of pursuing masters abroad, prioritize Bennett University Delhi first—its explicit international university partnerships with Canadian, American, and European institutions, highest placement packages (Rs.137 LPA), and structured global pathway programs create seamless masters transitions with reduced costs. Second choice: SRM Chennai, offering extensive research collaborations, documented international linkages, and competitive placements (Rs.65 LPA highest) strengthening masters applications. Third: COEP Pune, delivering strong national standing and autonomous research infrastructure. Avoid RVCE and KIT due to limited international visibility and explicit foreign university partnerships compared to the above three institutions. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
