Should I be worried about my daughter's delayed TCS Joining Letter?

Ans: Roopa Madam, With a TS EAMCET OC rank of 26 701 and 98% in inter, Sridevi Women’s Engineering College’s CSE branch is secure (closing rank up to 107 714). However, stronger options with guaranteed admission include ACE Engineering College (CSE closing 31 984), JB Institute of Engineering & Technology, Yenkapally (CSE closing 28 457), Vignan Bharathi Institute of Technology, Ghatkesar (CSE closing 28 600), and KU College of Engineering, Kothagudem (CSE closing 29 388). These institutions offer NBA-accredited curricula, modern computing and AI/ML labs, experienced PhD faculty, active industry partnerships, and placement cells recording 70–85% CSE placement consistency over the past three years.

Recommendation: Prioritize Sridevi Women’s Engineering College for its high closing rank buffer and solid facilities; ACE Engineering College next for its reputable lab infrastructure and industry tie-ups; follow with JB Institute, Vignan Bharathi and KU College to balance cohort size, accreditation and practical exposure. All the BEST for Admission and a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Hello Hemant.
It is a good option if you don’t get into higher-ranked colleges. It is a newer campus, not as competitive or reputed as IITs, NITs, or top private colleges like BITS or IIIT-H. It is just supported by the Symbiosis brand. However, in the coming four years, the scenario may change for you. You can expect opportunities for internships and placements in the final year. Still, it is highly recommended to visit the campus in person before finalizing the online admission while sitting at home. The final decision will be yours.

Good luck.
