My son got admissions to multiple Amrita campuses - which is best?

Ans: Suresh Sir, With a BITSAT score of 255, your son exceeds the last?round closing score of 251 for B.E. Mechanical Engineering at BITS Hyderabad but falls short of the 270–298 thresholds for flagship branches like ECE, EEE, Electronics & Instrumentation, and Computer Science. While he also surpasses the typical ~235 cutoff for B.E. Chemical Engineering, chemical seats at Hyderabad are extremely limited and may fill early. Given these opening ranks, Mechanical Engineering at the Hyderabad campus is the most secure option, with a secondary chance in Chemical Engineering if seats remain after the primary iterations.

For assured admission and strong alignment with your score profile, the recommendation is to accept B.E. Mechanical Engineering at BITS Hyderabad. Should you seek a broader core?engineering scope within BITS, pursue B.E. Chemical Engineering only if Mechanical seats are unavailable in subsequent iterations. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Sanjib Sir, With a 96th percentile in CUET Science, admission to Delhi University’s B.Sc. (Hons.) mid-tier programmes—such as Zoology, Botany or Life Sciences at Hansraj, Miranda House and Ramjas—is well within reach, as these colleges typically close around the 92nd–97th percentile. University of Delhi’s offerings span 19 honours and 10 programme specializations, delivered by tenured faculty in well-equipped teaching and research labs and supported by semester-wise project work and interdisciplinary electives. Ashoka University’s four-year B.Sc. emphasizes liberal-arts integration, nine foundation courses, pure and interdisciplinary majors, high-end research facilities and mandatory capstone theses under PhD-qualified mentors, complemented by global partnerships and the Ashoka Scholars Programme for postgraduate research immersion. Both institutions hold NAAC accreditation and offer robust career-development services and internship placements in premier research and industry centers.

For a holistic research-driven science education with intensive faculty mentorship and global academic pathways, the recommendation is Ashoka University B.Sc. If diverse specializations, large peer networks and established undergraduate curricula appeal more, choose Delhi University B.Sc. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Hello Om
With the mentioned percentage, you will gain direct admission to some government and private colleges. MIT AOE is a decent private college with modern infrastructure and a growing reputation. It's not top-tier like ICT or COEP for Chemical engineering, but it is acceptable if you don’t get into top government colleges.
Good luck!

Ans: Srilatha Madam, IIT Dharwad’s B.Tech in Mathematics and Computing delivers a NBA-aligned curriculum taught by PhD-qualified faculty, with specialized labs in parallel, scientific and programming languages, strong ISRO and industry collaborations for research projects, and an adaptable pedagogy emphasizing computational theory and software systems. It holds a NIRF Engineering rank of #101. IIT Bhilai’s B.Tech in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science offers a focused AI-DS syllabus with core courses in machine learning, deep learning and ethics, anchored by industry-integrated labs, virtual instructor-led training, expert mentorship, and active engagement with Chhattisgarh Biofuel Development Authority and CDAC Pune; it is ranked #73 in NIRF Engineering. JNTU Hyderabad’s B.Tech programs under NAAC ‘A+’ accreditation feature AICTE-approved multidisciplinary labs, MoUs with CII Telangana for innovation and Nasscom for upskilling, extensive research centers and an Internal Quality Assurance Cell fostering industry-academia collaboration and global exchange partnerships.

Given her interest in core AI & ML pathways and stronger national ranking, the recommendation is IIT Bhilai AI & DS. For a robust computational foundation with broad research scope, choose IIT Dharwad Mathematics & Computing. If multidisciplinary engineering and global MoUs appeal more, consider JNTU Hyderabad. All the BEST for Admission & a Prosperous Future!

Ans: Hello Manish.
We do not know anything about the flexible attendance program in engineering colleges. It is better to talk in person with someone at a private college near your home. From there, you can get the idea and detailed information. Sorry.
Good luck!
