Kolkata student seeks advice: IEM CSE or KIIT CSE cybersecurity?

Ans: With a 93.45 percentile in MHT CET under the DEFOBC category, you are eligible for CSE and allied branches in several reputable government and private engineering colleges in Maharashtra. For DEFOBCS, the 2024 cutoff for BE Computer Engineering at MES Wadia College of Engineering Pune was 85.44 percentile, and for Datta Meghe College of Engineering Navi Mumbai, it was 54.39, so your percentile is comfortably above these cutoffs. For the GOBCH (OBC Home University) category, CSE cutoffs in top Pune colleges like MES Wadia and similar institutions were around 93.08–93.38 percentile, suggesting you are right at the margin for these options. While CSE in the absolute top government colleges like COEP Pune and VJTI Mumbai remains out of reach (OBC cutoffs above 99.8 percentile), you have good chances for CSE, IT, or E&TC in mid-tier government and private colleges in Pune, Mumbai, and other regions, such as MES Wadia College of Engineering, Datta Meghe College of Engineering, Department of Technology Shivaji University, and Laxminarayan Institute of Technology. Mechanical and other core branches will be more easily available at these colleges.

The recommendation is to prioritize CSE or IT in MES Wadia College of Engineering Pune, Datta Meghe College of Engineering, or similar mid-tier government/private colleges, as your percentile is well above their DEFOBCS cutoffs, ensuring a good balance of academic quality and placement prospects. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Kindly share your domicile and rank details.

Ans: Hi,
Being in the general category with a rank of 1.2 lakhs, admission is possible in private colleges. Instead of pursuing medicine abroad, I suggest completing the course in India. If your heart is set on medicine rather than engineering, discuss it with your parents and work towards your goal. Even if you choose to study abroad, the expenses will exceed 50 lakhs.

Ans: Hi, both can be pursued on a part-time basis, so it's better to take the core course.

Ans: Hi, please share your 12th-grade marks before we proceed further.

Ans: Why Biotech? In biotechnology, we have different specializations such as animal, plant, food, and pharma. Which one are you planning to pursue? Before selecting a specialization, consider its future prospects. Also, look into the facilities available for biotechnology at the institute you are considering. Many institutes lack basic requirements, and students often perform activities in a laminar flow hood without using a sterile room or closed circuit.
