Sir my daughter got cse in graphic era deemed to be uni and cse in chandigarh university. Which one should she choose??

Ans: Priyanshi Madam, Both Graphic Era University (Deemed to be) in Dehradun and Chandigarh University hold strong reputations in computer science education, yet they differ significantly in scale, placement outcomes, and institutional focus. Graphic Era University, established in 1996, carries NAAC A+ accreditation and seven NBA-accredited programmes including Computer Science & Engineering, with specialized laboratories for AI/ML, high-performance computing, and cloud technologies, supported by Amazon partnership making it India's first Gen AI campus. The university features distinguished faculty with PhD qualifications from IITs, NITs, and foreign universities, maintains industry collaborations with Tata Technologies, IBM, and global universities for student exchange programmes, and achieved a CSE placement rate of approximately 75-85% over the past three years with top packages reaching ?54.03 LPA from companies like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon. Chandigarh University, established in 2012, became the youngest private university to secure NAAC A+ grade in the first cycle and holds both NBA and ABET accreditations for engineering programmes. The university operates across a 150-acre campus with 30+ industry-sponsored R&D labs, maintains MOUs with global giants including Google, Microsoft, IBM, and 900+ recruiting companies, and demonstrated exceptional CSE placement performance with 2,030 CSE students placed in 2024, achieving 90% overall placement consistency and packages up to ?54.75 LPA domestically and ?1.7 crores internationally.

Recommendation Choose Chandigarh University CSE for its superior placement statistics, larger industry network with 900+ recruiters, extensive ABET-NBA dual accreditation, and significantly higher scale of operations; select Graphic Era University CSE if you prefer a smaller cohort environment, established faculty credentials, and focused research opportunities within a traditional deemed university framework. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Sir my daughter is getting CSE or CSE in data science or ai ML in in NMIMS Chandigarh and AI and future tech in Chitkara university which one she should choose
Ans: Divya Madam, NMIMS Chandigarh’s B.Tech in CSE, CSE (Data Science) and CSE (AI & ML) programs are AICTE-approved, delivered under SVKM’s NAAC A+-accredited MPSTME, and ABET-accredited for IT and EXTC streams. All three specializations feature a balanced curriculum blending core computing, mathematics, and domain electives, PhD-qualified faculty, modern AI/ML, big-data and cloud labs, and mandatory internships via over 500 industry partners coordinated by the NextGen Analytics & Skills Centre of Excellence. Across its data-science and AI cohorts, NMIMS Chandigarh achieved approximately 80–90% placement consistency over the past three years, with leading recruiters such as Google, Deloitte and ZS Associates.

Chitkara University’s B.E. CSE with Specialisation in AI & Future Technologies is delivered by PhD-qualified faculty under A+ NAAC accreditation with NIRF Engineering rank #94. The program emphasizes hands-on AI and emerging-tech labs, research internships through 300+ MOUs, capstone projects, and a dedicated Career Advancement Services team that secured a 93.8% overall placement rate in 2023, engaging 350+ recruiters, including Infosys, Amazon, and Adobe. Students can also minor in Cybersecurity, Cloud or blockchain, fostering interdisciplinary agility.

For stronger accreditation (ABET), an industry-aligned adaptive curriculum, and slightly higher placement consistency in core AI/Data Science, the recommendation is to choose NMIMS Chandigarh CSE (Data Science) or CSE (AI & ML). If she prioritizes broader future-tech exposure, interdisciplinary minors and a proven 93.8% placement ecosystem, recommendations shift to Chitkara University AI & Future Technologies. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

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
