Sir My Son doing IEP program Computer Engineering with Thapar University Patiala and its 2+2 Credit Exchange program with Trinity College Dublin Ireland. Is this program worth for his future opportunities or he will continue his parent branch Robotics and AI here with Thapar University Patiala Campus.Which One is more worthful and having more career options. Please guide in detail. I shall be highly obliged and thankful.

Ans: Hi Alpana
CCE at Manipal seems a good choice if he is interested in computers.

Ans: Your career goals, financial situation, and desire for international exposure will all influence your decision on whether to complete your whole B.Tech at Thapar University or choose the International Engineering Program (IEP) allowing you to study two years at Thapar and two years at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia. Particularly if you want to work overseas or pursue further education, the IEP program presents a distinctive chance to have global experience, access advanced research facilities, and network with foreign colleagues, so greatly enhancing your employability. UNSW is a distinguished university, hence earning a degree from there could open doors to prospects both in Australia and abroad.

But given Australia's living expenses and higher tuition, the IEP program can be more costly. Halfway through your degree, you should also take some thought on the possible difficulties adjusting to a new academic system and culture. Completing your B.Tech totally at Thapar, a reputable university in India, could be a better option if your priorities are a career in India or if you would want a more financially sensible option. This road lets you seek worldwide prospects later through postgraduate courses or employment, and it lets you lay a strong basis in electrical engineering free from additional financial load.

Ans: Based on your son's interest, long-term goals & the following insights/information, choose the most suitable option among the options you have now: "All three programs uphold the five critical pillars of institutional quality: AICTE approval and top-tier accreditation, distinguished faculty with active research profiles, cutting-edge infrastructure, robust placement performance, and comprehensive student support. BITS Hyderabad’s B.E. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering is NBA-accredited and benefits from BITS’s Institution of Eminence status; its EEE department consistently achieves above a 90% placement rate over the past three years, with average CTCs around ?14 LPA and BITS Pilani’s overall campus average exceeding ?20 LPA, while state-of-the-art power-systems, robotics, and semiconductor labs underpin hands-on learning. IIIT Bangalore’s Integrated M.Tech in ECE, which has a NAAC A+ accreditation, nearly guarantees jobs for its students, with 88.9% of M.Tech students getting placed and an average salary of ?36.2 LPA for iMTech students, thanks to its specialized research centers in VLSI, signal processing, and IoT, along with a dedicated training and placement cell that offers coding workshops and industry mentorship. The BITS Pilani–CentraleSupélec 2+2 B.E. in Computer Science & AI melds two years at BITS Pilani (NAAC A+, Pilani/Goa/Hyderabad campuses) with two years at Paris-Saclay’s CentraleSupélec (Shanghai-ranked #12 globally, Times Higher Education employability #19), delivering dual degrees, international immersion, and AI-focused curriculum; BITS Pilani CSE graduates have averaged 100% placements with campus-wide averages above ?20 LPA, while global alumni networks and partner-university collaborations amplify research and internship pathways. Student support across all programs includes robust career-development cells, technical societies, mentorship frameworks, hackathons, and wellness services. Each pathway balances domain focus against global exposure: EEE at BITS Hyderabad excels in power and electronics core strengths; ECE at IIIT Bangalore leads in advanced communications and integrated software-hardware research; and the 2+2 CS program offers an unparalleled international dual-degree profile with AI specialization and cross-continental industry linkages.

Recommendation: For a globally differentiated AI-centric CS trajectory with dual-degree credentials and top-rank France exposure, opting for the BITS Pilani–CentraleSupélec 2+2 CS program maximizes innovation opportunities and employability, whereas IIIT Bangalore ECE is ideal for cutting-edge communications research and highest average CTCs, and BITS Hyderabad EEE suits those focused on core power-electronics systems with proven high placement consistency. All the BEST for a Prosperous Future!
