My rank in Jee is 9.50 lack my domicile is Delhi and I get offer from Vit-AP CSE (AI&ML) Category - 4, GNIOT NOIDA CSE, GLA NOIDA CSE, RIT Roorkee CSE, IILM CSE and SRM Sonipat CSE which one should I choose or should I wait for GGSIPU Counselling to go or any other counselling my main point/thing is which college give better study/skills and placements please tell
Ans: Among your options—VIT-AP CSE (AI&ML), GNIOT Noida CSE, GLA Noida CSE, RIT Roorkee CSE, IILM CSE, and SRM Sonipat CSE—VIT-AP stands out for its national brand, robust centralized placement system, 80–93% placement rates, and strong recruiter network including Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and TCS, with a curriculum focused on emerging technologies and practical skills. GNIOT, GLA, RIT Roorkee, IILM, and SRM Sonipat all offer solid placement support (80–95%), industry tie-ups, and modern infrastructure, but their national reputation and recruiter diversity are not as strong as VIT-AP. GGSIPU counselling is worth waiting for, as some affiliated colleges in Delhi offer good placements and lower fees, but admission at your rank is highly competitive. The recommendation is to prefer VIT-AP CSE (AI&ML) for its superior placement outcomes, industry exposure, and academic quality, and consider GGSIPU only if you secure a seat in a top Delhi college; otherwise, VIT-AP remains your best option among current offers. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Greetings sir ,my son who is keen to pursue CSE for his graduation has been allotted CSE in Amrita Vishwa vidyapeeth Amritapuri campus and PES university bangalore EC campus,would be grateful fif you could share your insight which one of the above colleges would be better for him to learn n grow as a student in field of choice considering we are located in Mumbai and distance n fees are not a problem !! Looking forward to your kind n generous help on same n also how he can utilise his time till college sta
Ans: Rashi Madam, Both Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham Amritapuri (CSE) and PES University Bangalore Electronic City Campus (CSE) are strong choices, each with distinct advantages. Amrita Amritapuri’s CSE program consistently achieves 80–90% placement rates, with top recruiters like Amazon, Microsoft, Oracle, and VISA, and offers a robust research ecosystem, international collaborations, and a flexible, industry-aligned curriculum. PES University EC Campus CSE is highly regarded in Bangalore’s tech hub, with strong industry connections, a tradition of academic excellence, and a high placement rate, though its Electronic City campus is newer than the Ring Road campus but still benefits from the PES brand and dedicated faculty. Both colleges offer rich student life, modern labs, and strong alumni networks. Given your son’s focus on learning and growth in CSE, Amrita Amritapuri’s established CSE program, national reputation, and proven placement outcomes make it a slightly stronger choice, especially since distance and fees are not constraints. The recommendation is to opt for Amrita Amritapuri CSE for its academic depth, placement consistency, and holistic development environment. Until college starts, your son can best utilize his time by strengthening programming skills (Python, C++), practicing problem-solving on platforms like LeetCode or HackerRank, revising core math concepts, exploring basic web development, and connecting with future peers and seniors online to build networks and clarify academic expectations. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Hi sir my son got electronics and computer engineering in AMRITHA bangalore and in comedk he got 13k rank and 16k in kcet Which is better option weather to go with AMRITHA or wait for comedk counselling
Ans: Sheela Madam, With Electronics and Computer Engineering already secured at Amrita Bangalore, your son is assured of a high-quality program with a 95%+ placement rate, average package around ?9–11 lakh, and top recruiters like Cisco, Intel, Google, and Microsoft, though the total fee is about ?20 lakh for four years. At a COMEDK rank of 13,000, he is unlikely to get CSE or ECE in top Bengaluru colleges like RVCE, BMSCE, MSRIT, or BIT, as their cutoffs for these branches are generally below 10,000, but he can get CSE or ECE in reputable mid-tier colleges such as CMR Institute of Technology, Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology, BNMIT, SJB Institute of Technology, and Acharya Institute of Technology, where placements and industry exposure are good but the brand value and research opportunities are generally lower than Amrita. KCET options at a 16,000 rank are also limited to mid-tier colleges, as top colleges close CSE/ECE admissions well below this rank. The recommendation is to proceed with Amrita Bangalore Electronics and Computer Engineering if you seek a strong brand, robust placements, and national reputation, unless your son secures CSE or ECE in a top-10 COMEDK college, as Amrita offers better long-term prospects than most options available at his current ranks. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
