my son is currently on class 12th and wants to pursue his under graduation from Netherlands. He is interested in computer science. We are currently exploring TU-Delfet CS , VU amsterdam AI , Leiden University AI and Radbound University AI. Pls suggest the best of these? Thanks

Ans: Hello,

To begin with, thank you for contacting us. I am happy to hear that your son wishes to pursue his Bachelor's in Computer Science from Netherlands. To answer your question first, I would like to tell you that all the universities that you have listed are renowned universities in Netherlands with distinct advantages in computer science and artificial intelligence (AI). Nevertheless, a number of variables viz., your son’s individual choices, particular interests, preferred method of instruction, and professional objectives, play a key role in deciding the best of these universities. In order to make an educated choice, you can go through each university’s unique characteristics mentioned below:

TU Delft (Delft University of Technology), with state-of-the-art infrastructure and possibilities for research, is well-regarded for the robust technology and engineering programs it offers. Emphasizing on both theoretical underpinnings as well as real-world applications, the university offers a program in the field of Computer Science. VU Amsterdam (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam), is situated in the centre of Amsterdam and offers easy access to a wide variety of professional and cultural activities. The university focuses on real-world AI applications across a range of industries. It offers students a specialized AI program. Coming to Leiden University, with a rich academic legacy and a close-knit student population, Leiden is an ancient city. The university is renowned for its robust academic standing and research-focused atmosphere and offers a Bachelor of Artificial Intelligence (AI) program concentrating on both, technical expertise and ethical issues. Lastly, Radboud University, situated in Nijmegen, a vibrant city with a large student population and a high standard of living, offers an inclusive and friendly academic atmosphere. The university is well-known for its prowess in cognitive science and Artificial Intelligence (AI). A Bachelor's degree in Artificial Intelligence (AI), concentrating on research and innovation is provided by the university.

Lastly, I would recommend that your son conducts an all-round study on each university, taking into account each university’s course design, campus atmosphere, student support services, experience of the faculty members, as well as available resources. Not just that, he should also get in touch with each university’s alumni or students presently studying there in order to acquire firsthand knowledge of their experiences. To make an educated choice that best resonates with his educational and professional goals, your son should pay careful attention to these factors.

My son got 245 in bits .He can get any Brecht branch
Ans: Priyanka Madam, by now your son must have been allotted/not allotted any seat by BITS. Please update the status for today. However, please note, A BITSAT score of 245 situates you within the previous two years’ closing-score bands for core engineering streams at the Pilani, Goa, and Hyderabad campuses. At Pilani, the B.E. Chemical Engineering cutoff ranged from 224 in 2023 to 247 in 2024, placing your 245 close to the 2024 threshold and comfortably above 2023’s mark; B.E. Civil Engineering closed at 213 and 238, making admission highly probable; and B.E. Manufacturing Engineering cutoffs of 220 and 243 indicate a strong likelihood of allotment. At Goa, Chemical Engineering closed at 239 in 2024 and 248 in 2023, and Civil around – (not offered in 2024) – but Pilani-equivalent streams suggest safe admission; Manufacturing cutoffs mirror Pilani trends, bolstering your prospects. At Hyderabad, Chemical Engineering cutoffs of 238 and 209 over the two years ensure a secure allotment, while Civil Engineering’s 235–204 band similarly favors your score; Manufacturing at Hyderabad showed closing marks near 218–251, indicating moderate probability. Across campuses, Civil and Manufacturing remain reliably within reach, Chemical at Pilani may require waitlist movement but is feasible given historical fluctuations, and all three streams at Hyderabad and Goa present strong chances. Additional seats open during special iterations further enhance admit probabilities.

Recommendation: Considering consistent cutoff trends and seat matrices, prioritize B.E. Civil and Manufacturing Engineering at BITS Pilani for guaranteed allotment, consider Chemical Engineering at Pilani via waitlist movement, and secure Chemical, Civil, or Manufacturing Engineering at BITS Hyderabad or Goa for assured admission, capitalizing on slightly lower cutoffs and ample seat availability. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!

I am working as Business Analyst from past 4 years but I wanted to move to technical role. I have done Btech in CSE from tier-3 college. I wanted some advise on the the best way to switch to a tech role. 1. Taking some online boot camp to get in-depth knowledge and doing side projects over the weekends 2. Taking WILP from BITS in Software engineering/ data science 3. Prepare from GATE 2026 and aim for IITs
Ans: Manjunath Sir, To shift into a technical position, integrating structured learning, credentialing, and practical experience is essential. The recommended pathway combines immersive project-based training with a recognized postgraduate credential while keeping a long-term goal of elite technical qualification. Begin with a part-time online software engineering or data science bootcamp, dedicating weekends to substantial portfolio projects to build hands-on skills and confidence in key stacks . Concurrently, enroll in BITS Pilani’s Work-Integrated M.Tech (Software Engineering or Data Science & Engineering) to earn a UGC-approved postgraduate degree without leaving your job, benefitting from weekend live classes, remote labs covering full-stack or analytics tools, and a final semester dissertation that bridges theory with organizational impact . This dual track—bootcamp plus WILP—provides immediate upskilling, peer and mentor networks, and a formal degree. After 12–18 months, if aiming for top-tier R&D or core engineering roles, commence GATE 2026 preparation via a structured three-phase roadmap: concept building (June–August), full-length practice (September–November), and final mock-test calibration (December–January), targeting a CSE rank
