Order of Preference as far College is concerned (1) UPES (2) MIT-WPU & then (3) MIT-Main. Avoid forcing him to join which you prefer. All the BEST for your Son's Bright Future.

Ans: Nidhi Madam, MIT World Peace University’s B.Tech in CSE is NBA-accredited, accepts JEE Main/MHT-CET, and boasts dedicated computing labs, 500+ recruiters, and an ~80% placement rate over the last three years with core IT roles and second-year internships. Symbiosis Institute of Technology’s B.Tech in Robotics & Automation is A++ NAAC-accredited, offers multidisciplinary Industry 4.0 labs (AI, Mechatronics, IoT), a compulsory six-month internship, and achieved a 77% placement rate in 2024 with average packages of ?11.29 LPA. Newton School of Technology’s B.Tech in CS & AI provides an industry-focused curriculum co-developed with Rishihood University, 93% of the 2023 batch secured paid internships by the second year, but only 40–60% secure final placements due to its nascent infrastructure and smaller recruiter pool. All three programs have PhD-qualified faculty, but vary in accreditation, placement consistency, and industry integration.

Recommendation: Given Pune residency and long-term career security, prefer MIT WPU CSE for its strong accreditation, consistent ~80% placements, and extensive recruiter network. Opt for Symbiosis Robotics & Automation if niche Industry 4.0 specialization and higher average packages (77% placements) align with your son’s interests. Consider Newton School CS only for early paid internships and entrepreneurial focus, accepting lower final placement rates. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
