CSE second year internship: 19-year-old confused about options

Ans: Appear for JEE & MHTCET

Ans: Getting CSE after your 1st year depends upon your academic performance during the 1st year, the demands of the students of other Branches & the number of seats available for CSE. As far as MSc Economics is concerned, you can try for finance related jobs through on-campus/off-campus. All the BEST for Your Bright Future.

Ans: Hi,
I am not biased or misguiding anyone. Everyone wants CSE and I just tell them where it is good. Very few people today prefer core branches & everyone wants CS and allied branches only. Placements have taken a dip since COVID was over, even I am aware of it. Layoffs are going on in IT, but the ones who are good at their job are soaring high.

Ans: Choosing the integrated M.Sc. (Hons.) in Chemistry at BITS Hyderabad hinges on your ability to achieve and maintain a high CGPA (around 8.5/10) in your first two semesters to compete successfully for a switch into the dual-degree B.E. CS program—a path that only a small fraction (approximately 10–15%) of M.Sc. entrants manage each year, given the intense internal competition and heavy workload. (Prefer this option only if you are 100% confident of meeting all eligibility criteria and will be competitive enough). In contrast, locking in a direct B.E. CSE seat at Bengaluru’s reputable colleges provides immediate access to a CS curriculum: PES University’s CSE via KCET/JEE Score generally closes around ranks 1 200–1 400, RVCE CSE needs ranks under 330, and BMSCE CSE via COMEDK opens around ranks 1 300–1 400 . These institutes boast NBA/NAAC accreditation, modern labs, 80–90% placement consistency over three years, strong industry partnerships, and robust campus infrastructure. Opting to wait for further BITSAT allotments risks losing guaranteed CSE admission elsewhere and may delay entry into the tech sector.

SUGGESTION: Secure a direct CSE seat at RVCE for its top-tier placement consistency and low cutoff under KCET/COMEDK; consider PES University CSE next for its strong industry ties; take BMSCE CSE as a reliable backup. Only pursue the BITS M.Sc. Chemistry route if you are prepared for the rigorous academic challenge and highly competitive transfer process as I have already explained above.
