AFTER THE CSAB ROUND ANY INSTITUTE SPECIFIC SPOT ROUND IS LIKELY TO HAPPEN IF THE SEATS WILL BE VACANT?

Ans: Hi
they remain vacant after csab rounds.

Ans: Hello dear
In CSAB special rounds, leftover seats from JoSAA (including unfilled reserved ones) are offered with relaxed rules, giving your son (SC rank under 18,000) a chance at IIITs or lower-tier NITs; DASA won’t affect him, and broader choice filling increases his chances. Still, it is advisable to keep other options open as backups, as one should not rely entirely on spot/special rounds.

Good luck.

Ans: Pondicherry Technological University (PTU) and Mepco Schlenk Engineering College both provide solid Electronics and Communication Engineering programs with accredited curricula, experienced faculty and well-equipped labs. PTU, a government institution, benefits from rigorous academic standards, strong research collaborations with DRDO and ISRO, and modern infrastructure including dedicated ECE research centers and industry-standard equipment. Its campus placement cell reports steady ECE placement rates of around 80–85% over the past three years, with core electronics and communication firms recruiting regularly. Mepco Schlenk, a reputable private college, combines practical learning through industry internships, specialized ECE labs and close ties with regional companies, achieving placement percentages near 75% for ECE. Both maintain active alumni networks and student support services, yet neither offers the national recognition or recruiting reach of premier institutes like NITs or IIITs. According to CSAB’s official announcements, no additional special rounds follow CSAB Round 3 for NIT+ admissions, so switching to a higher-ranked NIT via CSAB is no longer possible this year. Prospects for joining a more prestigious institute depend on alternate pathways such as state-level spot rounds, management quota seats, or lateral entry schemes in private universities, which carry their own limitations in cost and intake. Considering academic rigor, placement consistency, infrastructure and faculty expertise, PTU edges ahead for long-term career foundations.

Recommendation:
Accept the PTU ECE seat for its government backing, research exposure and stronger placement track record. Explore state spot admissions or management quotas only if cost and program fit justify the change. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
