Question by Trisha on Jun 12, 2025

Sir is doing btech in ai and robotics from vit chennai a good option ? I have got a comedk rank of 2988 should I go for counselling since rv college is out of reach ? And are msrit or bms better than vit chennai ?

Ans: Trisha, With COMEDK rank 2988, you should definitely participate in counselling as multiple excellent options remain available beyond RV College . MSRIT emerges as the superior choice over both BMS College and VIT Chennai, offering 96% placement rates, established industry connections, strategic Bangalore location, and proven track record with median packages of INR 8 LPA . VIT Chennai AI & Robotics provides specialized education with 90% placement rates but at higher costs of INR 7.83 lakhs compared to Bangalore colleges, while lacking the immediate industry proximity that Bangalore's IT hub provides .

Your COMEDK rank 2988 eliminates RV College prospects but provides excellent admission opportunities at MSRIT (CSE cutoff 1177-3723), BMS College, and other premier Bangalore institutions, while VIT Chennai AI & Robotics offers 90% placement rates with INR 7.83 lakhs total fees and specialized curriculum in rapidly growing robotics sector projected at 8.18% CAGR through 2029. MSRIT demonstrates superior performance with 96% placement rates, median packages of INR 8 LPA, 1,174 offers from 239 companies, and strategic Bangalore location providing immediate industry access, while BMS College shows 62% placement consistency and VIT Chennai requires higher investment despite strong technical specialization. The AI and robotics field offers exceptional career prospects with entry-level salaries of INR 4.5-6 LPA progressing to INR 8-11 LPA, though MSRIT's established placement network and Bangalore's IT ecosystem provide superior immediate opportunities. Recommendation: Participate in COMEDK counselling targeting MSRIT CSE or ECE for optimal placement consistency, industry exposure, and cost-effectiveness, while keeping VIT Chennai AI & Robotics as backup option if passionate about specialized robotics education despite higher costs and distance from India's primary IT hub. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
